Mind Games
KaleidoscopeWhat if you could hypnotize yourself into a better you? Or…. secretly hypnotize others into giving you anything you want?
That’s the promise of NLP, which emerged in 1970s California and then took over self-help… in spite of its connection to a gruesome unsolved murder in the late 1980s .
NLP is the secret sauce connecting life coach Tony Robbins, Wolf of Wall Street Jordan Belfort, pick-up art... more

- SYBAU!!
Vocal fry is not a crime and if that’s all you have to say about this podcast you are weak. Also, say what you will about giving manipulative people a platform, I think for the purpose of this podcast, it’s extremely necessary for the audience to hear the manipulators in action, and be trusted to make our own decisions about them rather than being led by the hosts own opinions.

United States20 days ago - Good topic, wrong hosts
This is a relevant and important topic (most of what they cover can also be found in Jon Ronson’s “The Men Who Stare at Goats”. ) The hosts come across as unserious, running experiments on themselves and then weaving in their anecdotal evidence to try and make points. To mix in Nancy Salzman and the Wolf of Walstreet (both found criminally liable) and large therapy group techniques like Tony Robinson with PTSD techniques like EDMR as if these live on the same plain is irresponsible. They made th... more
Apple Podcasts1SpulunkUnited States20 days ago - more skepticism needed 🤏
the subject matter is very interesting and whilst the hosts describe themselves as "skeptics", they are often giddy about experiencing new kinds of trances or trying nlp so they seem more like the perfect marks. i think the podcast would be more interesting if told from a more objective and truly skeptical view.

New Zealand21 days ago - NLP Mind Games?
A great overview
I enjoyed the overview of NLP and all the other programs that have become part of or offshoot . I can understand more some the cult personalities now and their manipulation. It’s very scary at times because we always think how did the fall into this but mental manipulation is also an example of feeling you have found what you have been searching for
