This book examines the concept of “ Neurosemantics”, a term currently used in two different senses: the informational meaning of the physical processes in the neural circuits, and semantics in its classical sense, as the meaning of language, explained in terms of neural processes. The book explores this second sense of neurosemantics, yet in doing so, it addresses much of the first meaning as well. Divided into two parts, the book starts with a description and analysis of the mathematics of the brain, including computational units, representational mechanisms and algorithmic principles. This first part pays special attention to the neural architecture which has been used in developing models of neurosemantics. The second part of the book presents a collection of models, and describes each model reproducing specific aspects of the semantics of language. Some of these models target one of the core problems of semantics, the reference of nouns, and in particular of nouns with a strong perceptual characterization. Others address the semantics of predicates, with a detailed analysis of colour attributes. While this book represents a radical shift from traditional semantics, it still pursues a line of continuity that is based on the idea that meaning can be captured, and explained, by a sort of computation.
This third edition of Meta-States takes you on a journey to the theoretical background, understandings, and constructions of the Meta-States model itself. The aim is to fully locate Meta-States in the field of the cognitive-behavioral sciences as it establishes the emergent field of Neuro-Semantics. Meta-States is not just a model about how you think, feel, relate, act and speak, it is also a different way of thinking about the way you function as a human being. Understanding your own meta-states within this model of self-reflexive consciousness is to enter into a non-linear way of thinking and feeling. This book represents a major contribution to the field of NLP. It is likely that this work will open up an entirely new domain in NLP and offer a new synthesis between NLP and General Semantics.
This book represents a major contribution to the field of NLP. You will discover a new model for tracking "the structure of subjective experience." The author taps into the works of Korzybski and Bateson as well as those of mainstream NLP developers and develops new insights of his own. It is likely that this work will open up an entirely new domain in NLP and offer a new synthesis between NLP and General Semantics. No doubt others will go on to develop yet further sub-models of this intriguing and challenging model.
The Origins of NLP brings together the recollections and thoughts of some of the main protagonists from the very early days of NLP. In 1971 Richard Bandler and Frank Pucelik were students at Kresege College at the University of California Santa Cruz. They had a strong mutual interest in Gestalt Therapy, Frank because of his traumatic time in Vietnam and because he had been working with some disaffected and drug-addicted kids, and Richard because he had been working with Science and Behavior Books on transcribing and editing Fritz Perls' seminal work, The Gestalt Approach and Eyewitness to Therapy. They started a local Gestalt group and ran 2-3 sessions a week collaborating and experimenting with the language of therapy. They started achieving some brilliant results but were having problems transferring their skills to others and so Richard invited one of their college professors, John Grinder, to observe what they were doing in order that he would, hopefully, be able to deconstruct what they were doing that was so effective. John was a professor of Linguistics and was instantly impressed with the work that they were doing. He was able to add more structure and in due course the three of them formalised what is now known as the Meta Model. NLP, or Meta as it was known then, was born.

No NLP practitioner wanting to develop the field further should be without it′ - Dr Jane Mathison, formerly research officer in NLP, University of Surrey Are you struggling with the complexities of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)? You′ve come to the right place. This book demystifies NLP, providing a practical guide to understanding the psychological theories, principles and research that underpin the approach. Packed with practical hints and tips, case studies and exercises, the book introduces and explores: - What NLP coaching actually is - The general theories and principles that underpin the NLP approach - How theory translates into practice - The research evidence that says NLP coaching really works This is an essential companion for trainees, coaches, psychologists and professionals from all walks of life - indeed, anyone wanting to develop their knowledge and practical skills in this increasingly popular approach. Bruce Grimley is Managing Director of Achieving Lives Ltd, an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society and the UK President of the International Association of NLP Institutes and Coaching Institutes.
The Structure of Personality identifies the processes that produce personality, and presents strategies to re-programme it. Coaching the reader in a number of effective and specially adapted NLP techniques, it covers a wide range of tools including The RESOLVE model and the Personal Strengths model, making it a crucial reference for counsellors, therapists and NLP practitioners.
This much anticipated volume continues the tradition of Volume I, the Practitioner course manual. The authors now invite you to reach beyond Practitioner to Master level to develop the very spirit of NLP. "... the quintessential self-study course on advanced NLP." Judith E. Pearson PhD
In The 7Cs of Coaching, Bruce Grimley expertly explains neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) to the advanced coach and counsellor by asking a simple question: 'What is NLP?'. Inviting us on his personal journey, he provides the reader in this book with an insight as to how he coaches using his own NLP model as well as exploring the complexity of NLP as a practice and why it tends to polarise opinion in today’s coaching landscape. Grimley insists that if the NLP paradigm is to find credible traction in the modern world, it needs to test its claims in the same way as other academic disciplines; based on his own research, this book does just that. Incorporating contemporary psychological understanding and neuroscientific research throughout, it provides a complete NLP model, outlining specific steps for the reader to follow in order to achieve excellence in coaching. It includes case studies, exercises and reflective questions which will encourage both novice and advanced coaches to explore the benefits of NLP, understanding and taking into account emotions and the unconscious mind in their practice. By analysing the NLP landscape, this book also addresses many issues which are shared by the broader coaching community such as differentiation from counselling, professional status and lack of a reliable empirical evidence base. Ground-breaking and thought-provoking, this book offers a modern examination of NLP. Highlighting why NLP is still useful and popular, and exploring why it fills a gap in the market place for effective coaching, this book will be essential reading for all coaches in practice and training, coach supervisors and counsellors with an interest in coaching techniques.
Now in its Fourth Edition, Mind-Lines is a practical book about how to use the Meta-Model for conversationally reframing and transforming meaning. Learn how to recognize and use neurolinguistic magic. Mind-Lines presents the Sleight of Mouth Patterns using the logical level system of Meta-States by rigorously reworking the old Sleight of Mouth patterns. With a model of levels it sorts out the structure of meaning and magic to bring order and understanding to using the magic of language for influence, persuasion, in selling, negotiating, etc. Learn how to language the magic of transformation that comes from meta-stating meaning itself. In other words, Meta-States show up linguistically as Mind-Lines. In this book, you will discover the magic of conversational reframing.
This is an exploration and development of the meta-model, which lies at the heart of communicational excellence in neuro-linguistic programming.
