Demokritos, Athens, Greece dr@iit.demokritos.gr', e.mitsea@gmail.com2 Abstract. Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) has already achieved great popularity as a method for personal development and excellence. It is already used by successful educators, managers, trainers, salespeople, market researchers, counselors, consultants, medics, top athletes and lawyers. However, there is a lack of understanding about the secrets behind the success of neuro-linguistic training in various areas of human life. What are the pillars of its success? What is the role of metacognition? The specific aim of the present review is to explore the relationship between neuro-linguistic programming and metacognition as well as their role in building human excellence. In addition, we investigate, for the first time to our knowledge, the effectiveness of NLP in virtual reality in order to promote metacognitive development in terms of behavior change, subconscious reshaping and consciousness-raising. The results of this review showed that there is a mutually reinforcing relationship between Neuro-linguistic programming and Metacognition. Research has also shown that virtual reality provides the ideal environment for the application of subconscious training techniques like those of NLP. We conclude with a new layered model of NLP based on the principles of metacognition. This model aims to condition people to become awake, transcend their limitations, and enter a higher state of consciousness.

Introduction Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) was officially established in the 1970s by Richard Bandler and John Grinder with the development of a new methodology aiming at modeling excellence (Tosey et al., 2005). NLP is considered a solution-based approach since it does not search for roots of problematic behaviors but seeks to motivate behavior change. NLP harnesses strengths, focuses on meanings, possibilities, and solutions, talks about feedback not 'failure', suggesting that if something doesn't work it is preferable to try something different. (Linder- Pelz & Hall, 2007). Certain ideas of NLP date back to ancient Greece, Egypt and Babylon in traditions like Confucianism, stoicism and sophism in which various methods of self-reprogramming were systematically taught. For instance, sophists recognized the role of speech and body language in persuasion. Plato teachings focused on how experiences become imprinted deep within us. Aristotle studied the perfect logic that persuaded people (Seitova et al., 2016). 159
