ABSTRACT

NLP adheres to certain operating principles, or axioms, known as presuppositions. These underlie the various methods and techniques that you will learn throughout this book. Much of the practice of NLP would not make sense without an understanding, and some level of acceptance, of a number of presuppositions or ‘truths’. They reflect the definitions of NLP given in Chapter 1 inasmuch as they do not comprise a definitive list, and tend to differ in their wording. They also differ in the importance NLP practitioners accord them.
