Fulfillment Studies

The book The Happiness Hypothesis is on the way to my doorstep soon. I heard about the book and I wanted to read it right then and there. The reason is because the author Jonathan Haidt explains happiness and fulfillment in a way that makes complete sense to me. Understanding the six human needs also it brings a complete picture into sight.

While I am learning NLP I go online and talk to people on forums on different subjects of NLP. While offering my opinion someone said that I seemed like someone who treats NLP as something I do rather than something I am. That people use NLP as a way of life and a state. As far as I agree with this person it got me thinking. There are many NLP practitioners that learn, utilize and teach NLP without the consideration that there is more to learn outside the world of NLP. It's just one technology. I remember Paul Mckenna writing about Maxwell Maltz who created the psychocybernetics technologies. This is indeed very valuable and works very well with NLP. My point is that although I am not massively experienced in NLP I have a great pursuit of what it takes to live a life of dreams. Not just help people to overcome but to direct them into a momentous life of fulfillment. I would love to have a great life story of adventure, love, contribution, magic and mystery. I believe most people do. How do you do that? I believe the answer goes beyond NLP. I see master NLP practitioners who still don't have the life they want. Whats missing?

Fair love, Seb
