Robert Dilts has been a developer, author, trainer and consultant in the field of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) since its creation in 1975 by John Grinder and Richard Bandler.
Dilts has made many personal contributions to the field of NLP including the authorship of the Encyclopedia of Systemic NLP. He is best known for his work on beliefs and strategies.
He founded behavioral engineering � a software company with William Hanley as Director in 1981. There he developed numerous education software programs. Math and Spelling Strategy were licensed by Apple Computer as part of its Special Delivery Software.
The problem in understanding genius is that it takes near-genius to recognize it. It could be said that Dilts is a mind, for he indeed tries to understand the unseen process of genius which is characterized by insight rather than by conceptualization.
Dilt's quest in this trilogy is in of itself admirable and the selection of geniuses magnificent. But, sadly, I couldn't find much personal utility.
