The world is more interesting if you don't immediately classify everything as true or false. I found the book interesting, even if it lacks Wikipedia's imprimatur.

What you say is true. However, my reference to Wikipedia's view on NLP by no means meant anything conclusive or dismissive. Given Wikipedia's social aspect, it was just another way of validating that others too shared my deep suspicion of and disillusionment with yet another self-help system.

Surely you have felt this frustration while having to deal with these books/systems yourself?

I don't _have_ to deal with any of it. Someone recommended the book, and so I bought a copy. It's interesting and entertaining to read.

Bandler clearly doesn't like psychotherapists, and so it's no surprise that they don't like him.
