NLP offers a model for learning how to recognize excellence and how to emulate it. NLP provides the methods and technology for the how to of the managing of our thought. NLP works primarily with mental processes rather than content. By changing the coding of an experience, you can change your feelings and your internal state. Taking control of ones own mind describes the heart of NLP.

Definition of NLP
The study of the structure of subjective experience. (NLP Vol.1) An attitude and a methodology that leaves behind a trail of techniques. (Bandler) An accelerated learning strategy for the direction and utilization of patterns in the world. (Grinder) NLP is whatever works. (Dilts)
Neuro
Neuro refers to our nervous system/mind and how it processes information and codes it as memory inside our very body/neurology. By neuro we refer to experience as inputted, processed, and ordered by our neurological mechanisms and processes.
Linguistic
Linguistic indicates that the neural processes of the mind come coded, ordered, and given meaning through language, communication systems, and various symbolic systems (grammar, mathematics, music, icons). In NLP we talk about two primary language systems. First, the "mind processes information in terms of pictures, sounds, feelings, tastes and smells (sensory-based information) via the "representational systems. Second, the "mind" processes information via the secondary-language system of symbols, words, metaphors, etc.
Programming
Programming refers to our ability to organize these parts (sights, sounds, sensations, smells, tastes, and symbols or words) within our mind-body organism which then enables us to achieve our desired outcomes. These parts comprise the programs we run inside our brain. Taking control of one's own mind describes the heart of NLP.

Is it a Science?
The method of proof in NLP is different than that used by scientists; NLP places little emphasis on prediction. The "hypothesize - predict - test - verify" cycle is performed in minutes, on an observational basis. Unlike formal scientific research, NLP does not have truth as a primary goal. Rather, it seeks to do things effectively and efficiently. NLP might be more properly classified as an engineering or technology discipline rather than a science.
Research in NLP
Many skilled NLP Practitioners have a wealth of clinical data indicating that this model is highly effective. Clearly these Practitioners would provide a service to the field by presenting their data in the literature so they may be critically evaluated.
