Advice on NLP, logical fallacy

Someone emailed me:

NLP is at least 60% garbage. I recommend reading a real psychology book first.

Do an amazon search for "introduction to psychology" and pick one of the books taught at colleges and universities, then read most of that.

Then read the entire wikipedia entry on "logical fallacies".

Then search on youtube for "enemies of reason" by Richard Dawkins and watch the whole thing. (It's about fraudsters who sell you things that don't necessarily work.)

THEN - take a course on nlp and you'll be in a much better position to separate their good from their bad. You'll be able to pick out the logical fallacies and outright incorrect things that they teach
