NLP - Is it woo ?

[twistor59]

I tried a search on the term NLP, but surprisingly didn't get anything back. I'm interested in peoples opinions on whether it has any content, or is it just a moneymaking scam ?

You got no results because "NLP" is only three characters; the search function considers that too short to search if you are searching by keyword.

Search by tag, instead, and you will get at least three results.

But, yes, it is primarily woo, though with a bit of substance somewhere deep in the middle, around which have been wrapped false claims of uniqueness and power.

Thanks, apologies for the incompetence !

No apologies necessary. Sorry if my post came off harsh.
