Customer Reviews

Easy-to-read, non-technical, many uses, a good value.
This book explains what self-hypnosis and hypnosis in general is about and how to do it. It is layed out very well and easy to understand. The writers provide instructions for applying the method to many different problems. I bought it for stress and found I also used the anxiety and the teethgrinding instructions with good results, and my wife used the pain control part for a low back pain that flares up occasionally. I've loaned my copy to several friends over the past year who've gotten very good results. There's a lot in the bood for the money. --GP Minneapolis

easily readable, possibly life changing, not to be missed!
Since finding this book a year ago I have recommended it to many people both professionally , and to friends and family.It shows the possiblity of taking control of your life in ways that we are usually too complacent or un-selfconfident enough to persist with. It addresses many issues that we all have trouble with, to greater or lesser extents. Dealing with stress, fears, children, change of life habits such as smoking and dieting are dealt with . The chapter on pain control is excellent and I have no hesitation in recommending this book to anyone who is ready to help themselves.

Excellent book for self hypnosis
As a Clinical Hypnotherapist - this book is the first one on the list of books I recommend to anyone interested in self-hypnosis. I consider it one of the best books on self-hypnosis. It is very well written and it covers vast range of topics whether you desire to lose weight, stop smoking, increase self-confidence, manage pain, reduce stress or just about anything else.

If you happen to be one of those who find this book too challenging or advanced and are looking just for some scripts you can use, you may also check out Instant Self-Hypnosis: How To Hypnotize Yourself with Eyes Open.
