What is NLP?
NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) is a simple and skilful method to understand what is going on inside the mind of a person, how he or she think, perceive and process the information. Dr Richard Bandler and Dr John Grinder around 1970 at California University did a lot of research. They developed a new technology they combined Virginia stairs Family therapy, Friz Perls Gestalt therapy and Milton Erickson's Hypnotherapy.
Purpose of Communication:
After 15 years of research around 1985, Dr John Grinder, who was a linguistic professor at California University, concludes that people are not communicating randomly. They have intention behind the communication.
So he concluded that the meaning of communication is to get the response.
