Nirvanos asks author David Portney if there's such a thing as doing
"too much NLP":
Nirvanos: In your book you give some powerful NLP-type exercises
that get into making it much, much easier for guys, and beautiful
part about how you go about teaching this is that you don’t just
leave it at the “outside stuff”.
In other words, you don’t just take up approaching and break it
down the smallest components, giving guys a map of how to step-by-step
get to approaching mastery.
Now, there’s another balancing problem here. Just as there are
guys taking the “outside actions” part too far: There are guys taking
the NLP part too far.
They stay at home visualizing making the perfect approaching, and
re-framing beliefs and doing magical circle exercises for 4 hours
a day. Yet they don’t go out and try approach women with that new
re-framed belief or added confidence at all.
So they can get stuck in the “NLP extreme” of the pendulum. How
do you think one can find the balance? Where and how much does NLP
come into the equation?
David Portney: Defining the balance point between doing too much
inner work and too much outer work has to do with hitting the target
you set out to hit. If you do inner work and find that when you’re
out in the world you respond in ways that you like more than your
previous ways of being, that’s a good indication.
Also, it’s worth mentioning that while I do advocate a blend and
balance of inner and outer work, it’s also true that some guys will
respond more to “physical” activities, while other guys respond
more to “mental” tasks.
I pretty much insist that guys do both, and not just what they
like better or find more comfortable because often the “lesser liked”
“less comfortable” things are exactly where the most personal development
and transformation will come from.
Also, you’ll notice that I do not mention the term “NLP” anywhere
in my book or other products. I have injected a lot of what I’ve
learned from NLP for sure, but I’ve also learned a lot from business,
Martial Arts, and other life endeavors that directly relate to getting
the results guys want to get when it comes to increasing confidence,
meeting women, etc.
Nirvanos: So, there are differences and some guys need more or
less of one or the other, but the rule of thumb is “if you’re only
doing one, you’re probably just avoiding the thing you need to do”?
David Portney: Generally speaking, yes: most people don’t consciously
choose the “harder path” - most people take the path of least resistance.
