Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is defined as the study of the structure of subjective experience and what can be calculated from that and is predicated upon the belief that all behavior has structure. NLP premise is that the words we use reflect an inner, subconscious perception of our problems. If these words are inaccurate and still we are using them continuously then some underlying problems may occur. Our attitudes are self-fulfilling prophecy.
Neuro refers to the brain and neural network that feeds into the brain. Neurons or nerve cells are the working units used by the nervous. System to send, receives, and store signals that add up to information.
Linguistics refers to the content, both verbal and non-verbal.
Programming is the way the content or signal is manipulated to convert it into useful information.
So in this way it becomes neuro linguistics programming as a whole.
