“I was deeply touched by Altered States: The Richard Bandler Story. It showed and reminded me of Richard’s absolute genius, humor, and heart. He is an all-heart man. I’ve had the privilege to help millions of people all over the world, but the foundations of NLP helped start it all, triggered by the work that Richard created. It’s still a part of me today. I’ve been a huge beneficiary of Richard’s technology and was grateful to see him being honored and acknowledged so thoroughly in this film. He deserves it all.”
