Ancient greek neuro-linguistic programming: Brain format by ... Epictetus

Neuro-linguistic programming is a series of techniques designed to help individuals (and more) change behaviors that prevent them from achieving their goals. These techniques focus on the study of behavior patterns and way of thinking from which these patterns are motivated, in order to help the individuals improve the quality of their life and reach their maximum performance. 
The word's components reveal how our mind "names" things and "programs" us to have certain attitudes and behaviors that are often costly. 
The good news is that just as a computer can be cleaned of any "virus" or be formatted, so we can "rewrite" our "computer-mind" when its neuro-programming does not produce the results we want (and deserve).


Doesn't this theory remind us of Epictetus who said that people are not troubled by what is happening but by their view of what is happening? [Ταράττει τοὺς ἀνθρώπους οὐ τὰ πράγματα ἀλλὰ τὰ περὶ τῶν πραγμάτων δόγματα].


Greek antiquity alive and kicking!
