Sometimes I wonder if the human condition is simply too diverse to really understand. Sure we have the models of NLP to help us through our day, that is if we know them. In my field I meet so many people I think I forget when I should or shouldn’t use NLP. It all seems a bit bewildering I’ll admit, but I never stop trying.
