Coffee Shop Convo, NLP
I spend a lot of my time in bookstore cafes, and over the past few years, I've noticed that the most frequent topic of conversation is Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP). I think the topic is fascinating....but for a different reason than everybody else: I think it's fascinating because for the life of me I can't figure out whether NLP is bogus or not.
I suspect that it's rooted in truths and that the claims are exaggerated after that. But here's my big question: if NLP supposedly gives you such advantages in life (i.e., the ability to control people's thoughts and decisions), then why are so many people NLP proponents I meet aimless, directionless, unemployed "businessmen"/"entrepreneurs"?

Notes From My Glorious Staycation at Wynn Las Vegas
NOTES FROM MY WYNN STAYCATION
3:30PM: As I type this, I’m wearing a bathrobe, which, according to its label, was designed specifically for the guests of Wynn Las Vegas. Behind me is a flat-screen TV showing a montage of nature photographs and playing “Clair de Lune.” I’m 52 stories up, and I’m peering over the top of my laptop at the Wynn golf course. Intellectually, I knew the course was big, but didn’t really understand how big it was until this moment. It’s huge.
2:OOAM: I’m sitting in the parasol Up bar. I’m drinking a “Pear-A-Sol,” a cocktail that combines Absolut Pear Vodka with pear liqueur and pear puree. I really like pears, so the drink works for me. Now I’m drinking an Acai & Kiwi Smash (kiwi vodka, acai liqueur, agave nectar). And now I’m doing a shot of tequila, Granny Sour Apple Schnapps, and Goldschlager. And now I’m doing a shot of Grand Marnier 150 Year Anniversary.

it's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it.
Eye Cues
Plus the eye cues dont' even work every time. Like for lefthanded people. And even if the person is righthanded they're not guaranteed to work. I have had no results with NLP.
it's so hard to say because
it's so hard to say because so many of the people advocating for nlp teach seminars that you have to pay to go to, so who knows if it woks or if its a new scam a psuedoscience with SOME real scientific backing.
Real NLP
Hey Rick,
I actually searched for you on Google after reading your article "If I'm surrounded by so much porn, why am I so sad." When I got to your website, I noticed your article on NLP. As it turns out, I am certified in both NLP and hypnosis... but my job is Alpha Male Life Coaching. I teach entrepreneurs how to make silly amounts of money and seduce ridiculously attractive women. Anyway, I’m in Las Vegas. Have a look at my website www.drawkkwast.com and let me know if you would like to meet up some time for what I am sure would be some very interesting conversation.

Maybe
Hey Drawk. I might take you up on that offer one day. Busy the next couple weeks, but let's get in touch late Feb.... -Rick
