People use NLP and Hypnosis to acheive a wide variety of beneficial and not so beneficial objectives. Police and military professionals use NLP to question people in their custody. Con men and pick up artists use NLP to talk people out of money and into bed. Therapists use traditional hypnosis to help people forget bad habits and remember traumatic events. Religious cults often use "trance-inducing techniques" to seduce and control their membership. In every case these folks are 'exploiting' the underlying mechanisms of the human mind to control people.

Those of us who value freedom and independence may well wonder if teaching people NLP and Hypnosis techniques is "moral". After all, in the wrong hands these tools can, and do, get people killed.

Some would say that the kind of folks most interested in acquiring these tools for personal gain are exactly the folks who shouldn't know them.

The truth is these tools are at their most effective when potential victims don't know them. Ensure people can understand and use Hypnosis and NLP techniques to communicate more clearly, break bad habits or alleviate pain also ensures they can recognize situations where the same tools are being used to endanger or overpower them.

Mastering NLP and Hypnosis gives you "a happy understanding of the human mind" that protects us from the worst abuses of otherwise therapeutic techniques, and enables you and those you love to benefit from a set of tools that have helped humanity for thousands of years.
