Check this out—my thanks to Jared for posting this.
Jared’s right, that’s freaky; it’s also a little scary to think that we can be manipulated that easily. I like to believe I can think for myself—but this makes me wonder what influences are shaping my thought processes without my being aware of them. (And everyone else’s, for that matter.)
Yes…yes we are.
My parents are both certified in NLP, which is what Darren Brown has adapted for his show. Scott is basically right. There’s a lot you can do with it, one way or another. For example, it cured my phobia of needles. But, yeah, Darren Brown is really intelligent and superb at what he does, but as far as I can tell it isn’t (too) staged.
Sorry, Doug–I’d missed your comment. What’s NLP?
