Undoubtedly, when an author writes a book, he uses various sources and information received from many people. I would like to give credit to everyone who contributed to this book, but I can probably name only those whose influence was particularly significant.

In the future, you may find it useful to revisit your notes, guesses, ideas, and practice exercises.
2. Don't cheat when you move on to exercises, thought experiments, and laboratory work. Stop. Do the exercise. Involve your friends in your training. Some exercises require up to five people, although most exercises can be done by two people.
3. Create your own index for textbook. This will strengthen your knowledge of NLP and its components, and will also allow you to better navigate the material in the book.
4. We framed key statements And definitions. If you wish, you can purchase transparencies for use in lectures. This will allow the NLP trainer to align the sessions with these guidelines.
Introduction. History of “magic” in neurolinguistics
NLP is a position and methodology that gives rise to a range of methods.
Richard Bandler
Neurolinguistic programming (NLP) is a relatively new discipline, which arose only in the mid-1970s. NLP is based on a large body of trustworthy knowledge. NLP originates in several areas of knowledge, united by two of its creators - Richard Bandler and John Grinder.
This happened while Dr. Grinder was a professor of linguistics at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Bandler was a student at this university and studied mathematics and computer science. Dr. Grinder had already published several books on the branch of linguistics known as transformational grammar.
Richard Bandler has shown extraordinary ability to identify and clearly describe patterns in a wide variety of processes. This talent manifested itself most clearly in the description of human communication. Richard took great pleasure in studying, analyzing, and modeling communication processes in psychotherapy. Then he began to actively study the techniques of Gestalt therapy. He was able to identify, describe and independently test models of this psychotherapeutic approach.
The results of this work impressed those around him, and his success in solving complex problems directed Richard's talent to study and then model the work techniques of other outstanding specialists. With the support of John Grinder, Bandler had the opportunity to model the techniques of Virginia Satir, the world's most famous family therapist. Richard quickly identified the "seven patterns" Virginia was using. When she and John began using them, they discovered that they could model her psychotherapy techniques and get the same results.
How computer programmer Richard knew that in order to program the simplest “consciousness” (an on-off computer), one had to break down behavior into its components and provide the system with clear and unambiguous signals. To this simple metaphor John added his extensive knowledge of transformational grammar. From transformational grammar they borrowed the concepts of deep and surface structures that transform meaning/knowledge in the human brain. So they began to build their model of “programming” people.

Introduction. History of “magic” in neurolinguistics
NLP is a position and methodology that gives rise to a range of methods.
Richard Bandler
Neurolinguistic programming (NLP) is a relatively new discipline, which arose only in the mid-1970s. NLP is based on a large body of trustworthy knowledge. NLP originates in several areas of knowledge, united by two of its creators - Richard Bandler and John Grinder.
This happened while Dr. Grinder was a professor of linguistics at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Bandler was a student at this university and studied mathematics and computer science. Dr. Grinder had already published several books on the branch of linguistics known as transformational grammar.
Richard Bandler has shown extraordinary ability to identify and clearly describe patterns in a wide variety of processes. This talent manifested itself most clearly in the description of human communication. Richard took great pleasure in studying, analyzing, and modeling communication processes in psychotherapy. Then he began to actively study the techniques of Gestalt therapy. He was able to identify, describe and independently test models of this psychotherapeutic approach.
The results of this work impressed those around him, and his success in solving complex problems directed Richard's talent to study and then model the work techniques of other outstanding specialists. With the support of John Grinder, Bandler had the opportunity to model the techniques of Virginia Satir, the world's most famous family therapist. Richard quickly identified the "seven patterns" Virginia was using. When she and John began using them, they discovered that they could model her psychotherapy techniques and get the same results.
As a computer programmer, Richard knew that in order to program the simplest “consciousness” (an on-off computer), one had to break down behavior into its components and provide clear and unambiguous signals to the system. To this simple metaphor John added his extensive knowledge of transformational grammar. From transformational grammar they borrowed the concepts of deep and surface structures that transform meaning/knowledge in the human brain. So they began to build their model of “programming” people.
Later, world-renowned anthropologist Gregory Bateson introduced Bandler and Grinder to Milton Erickson, MD. Erickson developed a model of communication that is known as “Ericksonian hypnosis.” In 1958, the American Medical Association recognized that hypnosis is beneficial remedy during surgical operations. When Bandler and Grinder modeled Erickson's work, they found that they could get the same effect. Many of today's NLP techniques are based on techniques that Erickson used.
From this experience and their exploration of unifying factors and principles, Bandler and Grinder developed their first model of communication, reflecting a theoretical understanding of how we are “programmed” through languages (sensory and linguistic) to have regular and systematic actions, reactions, psychosomatic effects, etc. This model also determined the ways of using the components of subjective experience for psychological (mental-emotional) changes in human behavior.
Since then, NLP has come a long way in its development. The model has expanded to include data from other disciplines: cybernetics (communications in complex systems, both mechanical and living), philosophy, cognitive psychology, studies of the “unconscious” and neuroscience. Today, there are NLP institutes all over the world, and many authors are applying NLP in areas related to medicine and health, psychotherapy and psychological well-being, business, education, sports, law, Christian religion, etc.
Learning the Mastery
NLP mainly focuses on learning skill. In the book Neurolinguistic Programming (Dilts et al., 1983), the authors called NLP “the study of the structure of subjective experience.” Subjective experience, which is the focus of most NLP theorists, popularizers and teachers, includes most perfect aspects human experience - high level creativity, mastery, giftedness, etc. Robert Dilts, one of the creators of NLP, studied this topic in particular depth, writing a number of books and a large number of journal articles under the general title “Strategies of Geniuses.”
Michael Hall - entrepreneur living in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado (USA). After many years of private psychotherapeutic practice, he was engaged in education and training: first, communication training (assertiveness, negotiations, relationships), then NLP.
In the late 80's he studied Neuro-Linguistic Programming with one of the founders, Richard Bandler, and became a Master Practitioner and Trainer of NLP. On behalf of Bandler, he wrote materials for trainings, which were subsequently published in the form of the book “Time of Change.”
A prolific writer, he has written and published more than two dozen books, including such bestsellers as The Spirit of NLP, Taming of Dragons, Meta-States, Lines of Mind, How to Spot a Person, The Structure of Excellence, Frame games”, etc.
