“Conservatives” and corporate interests use the powerful tools of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to define arguments, win elections and persuade the public. To be effective in the public arena, progressives and bioneers must first understand these tools. Thom Hartmann learned NLP 27 years ago as a psychotherapist and advertising agency CEO. He is a nationally syndicated radio talk show host, and award-winning author of 14 books including Unequal Protection: The Rise of Corporate Dominance and the Theft of Human Rights.
