I have an essay on Medium about the core genetic research on the issue of 'people being suceptible to suggestion and domination' - "Losing Human Nature". I wouldn't recommend learning Neural Linguistic Programming; the flip-side of that same process is to use it on YOURSELF to motivate good goals and break bad habits, called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, INSTEAD of trying to use it on other people, to get what you want OUT of them. NLP always turns you evil.
