so nice to hear some one who to most people is hard to understand, totaly explain how things work in my mind in a way i completly relate to. I wish he wasnt gay or twice my age... i love him
I agree with you. If your going to study NLP you can surly use to help people and help yourself but some people apply things things to there religion and such. Once you realize that words and social interaction effect decision making, that is when you can really make changes in yourself and or other people and this is what derren does he just applys it to his craft as a mentalist, illutionist and etc...
@rdoetjes He is not "against" NLP. He has said that he doesn't apply it as much as many people think, and that some NLP practitioners make bogus claims about what NLP techniques can really do, but he has never said that he is "against" it, as far as I can recall.
Well that is an illusion he often suggest it is NLP and then it is a very nice magic effect, In his book Pure Effect he writes that NLP has some very good stuff but it has gone towards new age madness with management trainings and self help crap. I agree as well.
@LowleyUK If you read it again (as I just did) you will see that its a joke about how all my dinner party guests are dead and Acorah would have to be medium. I don't believe in ghosts or the afterlife. I know Derren is very opposed to him, thats what made it funny. Its ruined now though.
@LightShiningBright Frankie Boyle told a good joke once, he said if he was Derren Brown he would get on the Tube and stand near a guy who was sleeping and then take his trousers down, nudge the guy and when he wakes up you pull your underpants back up and say "thanks for that" heheheh Half the people on my list are dead, so it really is a fantasy dinner party. unless I get Derek Acorah to host hahaha
@LightShiningBright hahaha, I'm glad you asked. The other 4 are Hunter S. Thompson, Carl Sagan, Terence Mckenna and Charlize Theron. If I could have one guy at to chat to at the bar it would be Russell Brand although I would put Brand and Theron at either side of me as she is super hot and I wouldn't want him to get near her. hahaha Who are your 5 dinner party guests?
I can see how it would be helpful, but have you ever thought about overusing the techniqe and eventually finding that you have an inability to feel emotion in very serious circumstances. This technique could help me daily - but after a bad few years, but i dont think it would be right to not feel sad about bad things going on.
@LightShiningBright Do what you do. I tink as you gte older your 5 party guests might change though. If you had asked me when I was 17 it would have been a different story.
@LightShiningBright Sounds like somebody has a bit of a crush on Derren Brown to want two of him!? I'm a ladies man, but one day I might meet one as smart and interesting and then I'll swap her out for him at the dinner party.
