NLP Knowledge Base is a reference resource for understanding Neuro-Linguistic Programming.
It brings together explanations of NLP terminology, concepts, models, techniques, applications, history and areas of debate. Its purpose is to make NLP easier to understand by presenting practitioner terminology and perspectives clearly while distinguishing them from established scientific evidence and from claims that remain disputed or unsupported.
It is intended for curious readers, practitioners, coaches, trainers, students and professionals who want to understand NLP terminology and ideas in context.
Where information represents the position of a particular organisation, training tradition or professional body, that source or perspective is identified.
NLP Knowledge Base is published by Wisdomtree Solutions.
How to use it
Start with What Is NLP?. Look up terms in the glossary. Read evidence and criticism when a claim sounds larger than a teaching distinction. How pages are written is described in Editorial principles.
