PNL: La programación neurolingüística al alcance de todos
by Miguel M. Macieira Juliana ArangoDescripción del libro: ¿Qué es lo que las personas destacadas tienen en común? ¿Cuál es esa característica que está presente en todo individuo exitoso? Considerando que los "vencedores" - las personas que conquistaron las más altas posiciones en la vida - provienen de las más diversas regiones y cuentan con los más diversos niveles de educación y cultura, surge la pregunta: ¿qué diferencia a esas personas de todas las demás? Tal y como se mostrará en este libro, el tipo de comunicación (verbal y no-verbal) es la característica común que aparece en esas historias de éxito. Por su parte, la comunicación efectiva remite a modos de pensar y actuar muy característicos. Para alcanzar nuestras metas, tenemos que pensar y actuar como los individuos exitosos. En realidad, los individuos exitosos cuentan con algunos recursos que los llevan a desarrollar comportamientos de éxito. En términos de la PNL, dichos recursos incluyen estados emocionales, creencias, valores, estrategias y percepciones que se manifiestan en forma de comportamiento. La PNL busca descubrir cuáles serían esos recursos que podrían llevar a alguien a su realización. Con ello se pretende descubrir un "modelo" que pueda copiar por otras personas que deseen obtener los mismos resultados. El proceso mismo de descubrir el modelo, lleva por nombre (obvio): 'modelaje'.
