I began discovering how people think about themselves over twelve years ago, using understandings and methods from the field of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), a field originally developed by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in the early 1970’s. This field continues to grow and develop, as these methods are used to discover even more about how our minds function, and how to use these discoveries to help people change. I have done my best to write this book in a way that anyone can understand, even without any NLP background. However, since this book is an outgrowth of NLP, I occasionally refer to NLP terms, methods, and understandings that are beyond the scope of this book. When I do that, I provide specific references, which you can use if you are interested in gaining a broader understanding of these topics. There is also an online encyclopedia of NLP (14) which you can consult.
Learning about self-concept has been a challenging journey in which I learned many processes that I did not expect. What I discovered often worked much better than what I had expected to find, and that was a good sign that I was discovering what was actually there, not just “rediscovering” my own assumptions and preconceptions.
