I've been interested in NLP for some years now. Originally, I got into it through various seduction materials that were flying around at the time (and probably still are). This lead me to "Frogs Into Princes," which really made a lot of sense to me. I proceeded to pick up several other NLP books, have a go at various techniques (on myself), mostly fail, dwell in alt.psychology.nlp, get utterly disgusted with that group, and lose interest in NLP for several years.

Now I'm back at it and determined to make some of this work. I've made pretty good headway on a major problem that has plagued me for some 10 years, although I haven't quite managed to "seal the deal," so to speak.

Besides taking care of that issue, I'd like to work on my social skills. I don't know if you've heard the joke,

Q: How can you tell an extroverted engineer?
A: When he talks to you, he looks at your shoes instead of his own.

Well, I'm the guy looking at his own shoes.
