L. Michael Hall

L. Michael Hall (b. 1950), American — developer of the meta-states model and among the most prolific (and internally critical) authors in NLP.

Hall's meta-states — states about states — reframed much classic NLP through reflexivity. He is also the field's unusual case: a best-selling NLP author who publicly criticises NLP's epistemology and marketing. His Sourcebook of Magic catalogues the pattern landscape.
