Programming is our learned behavior.

NLP deals with the theory that there is a connection between our mind and communication, and that it shaped our programming, or behavior.

Okay, so that is the technical definition of NLP, so here is why it is important; it is a very effective tool to help people learn to improve themselves.

The basis of NLP is that if you see somebody or something that is perfect, or that has a characteristic that you wish that you had, that you can copy those skills, or that characteristic and by doing so, can model yourself after that, effectively making you better.
