What I learned from Dr Richard Bandler

In this episode of Changing Minds, I sit down again with my mentor and friend Dr. Richard Bandler, the co-creator of Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) and a renowned expert in the field of behavioral change. With over five decades of experience, Dr. Bandler has revolutionized the approach to personal development and psychotherapy. In this discussion, he shares transformative insights from his career, and reflects on the powerful influence of mentors like Virginia Satir. Dr. Bandler also critiques traditional psychotherapeutic methods, advocating for techniques that offer immediate and effective change. Whether you're a long-time follower or new to the concepts Richard shares, this episode is packed with valuable lessons on improving mental habits, accelerating personal growth, and understanding the role of imagination and belief in achieving profound personal transformation. We speak on the most important lessons Richard has ever learned, his mentors, what he’s grateful for, how to change the way you think long term, the difference between thinking smarter and inspiration and much much more.
