It works for getting rid of bad habits 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This is an excellent self-help book. I have now over 2 months without biting and destroying my nails. I had been biting my nails since I was a child, but I do not remember when it started. It probably was when I was 4-5 years old. The thing is that I do not remember me having healthy nails, and I do not remember me without biting my nails. When I became an adult, biting my nails in public was embarrasing, so I started quietly destroying the flesh around my nails,and the nails while I was doing anything, like watching TV, driving, talking, etc. My nails were so destroyed that I always was embarrased of showing them, and always was trying to hide them from others. I had tried many thins to get rid of this habit, psycology books which give a method to follow, other meditation methods using affirmations, but nothing worked. Never ever, had been able to leave my naisl alone for even a day. With these other methods, perhaps I was able to leave, at least partially, alone my nails for one day, but the urge to bite/destroy them was so powerful that I could not resist touching them for a longer period of time. When I was really nervous for something, my nails were bleeding, and several times I lost some of them. ( because of infection). This is for you to have an idea of how stubborn was this habit. I always wanted and desired with all my heart not to have this habit, but simply could not get rid of it. I followed the instructions on this book, and did the script for "End fingernail biting" on page 90, for 15 days in a row, and to my surprise I was able not to touch/bite my nails during this time, even though the urge to do it was strong at sometimes. But was able to resist the temptation. Then I did another script, that I created following the instructions in the book for another thing I needed, but as soon I finished with this other goal, I repeated the script for fingernail biting for another 15 days in a row. I am so happy and surprised that I almost cannot believe that this is happening, that I have over 2 months now without touching my nails. For the first time in my life I have been able to cut and trim my nails. But some of them have suffered too much damage that still do not look good, and are slowly healing and recovering. For you to have an idea of the lenght of time I have been biting/destroying my nails, I am in the 40's. So I have been biting/destroying my nails for over 30 years. The method of this book really works, and it has many useful scripts to follow for other goals to achieve. In addition it gives a method to write your own scripts to achieve anything you want or need. (help with your subconscions mind). Highly recommended.

Editorial Review:

Hypnosis is a proven technique that allows people to reprogram their subconscious to change unwanted behaviors. Most books on self-hypnosis require the reader to memorize or record scripts, then put the book aside while they do their hypnosis work. But Instant Self-Hypnosis is the only self-hypnosis book that allows you to hypnotize yourself as you read, with your eyes wide open, without putting down the book.

The author's fail-proof method allows you to put yourself into a hypnotic state and then use that state to improve your life in myriad ways. And because the hypnotic state is induced while you read, you remain aware of your surroundings and can bring yourself back to normal consciousness slowly and gently, using the instructions provided.

Editorial Review:

This wonderful book is for anyone interested in making their life significantly better. It is a goldmine of insights and techniques from one of the greatest geniuses of personal change. As you use the techniques in this book, you will exponentially increase your ability to make dramatic life-enhancing differences. It is by far one of the most entertaining and professionally stimulating books I have read. It will change your life!"--Paul McKenna, Ph.D, author of I Can Make You Thin and host of The Learning Channel's I Can Make You More than thirty years ago, Richard Bandler set out to discover how some therapists managed to effect startling change with their clients, while others were arguing about theories as their face patients waited in vain for help. Now widely regarded as the world's greatest hypnotist, Richard Bandler observed and developed patterns which became the foundation of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), arguably one of the most profoundly effective approaches for self-development and change. Since coauthoring the internationally influential books, The Structure of Magic Volume 1, and Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton Erickson, M.D. Volume 1, Bandler has traveled the world, honing his skills and helping people solve problems and achieve goals when other "experts" have been unable to help. Richard Bandler's Guide to TRANCE-formation, he returns to his roots: hypnotic phenomena, trancework, and altered states to provide a highly compelling prescription for personal change. According to Bandler, "trance" is at the very foundation of human experience. People are not simply in or out of trance, but are moving from one trance to another. They have their work trances, their relationship trances, their driving trances, and their parenting trances. Some of these states are useful and appropriate; others are not. With his signature wit and contrarian approach to therapy, Bandler shows how anyone can reset or reprogram problem behaviors to desired alternatives, with lasting and life-altering results. Peppered with case studies and more than thirty exercises, Richard Bandler's Guide to TRANCE-formation, is an intriguing, engaging, and often amusing, read for anyone, whether they are new to NLP, want to further their NLP training, or simply want to make a positive difference in their own lives.

Milton Erickson, Take II 3 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

My interest, and fascination, with Milton Erickson's approach to psychological issues came about as a result of reading, "Uncommon Therapy" by Jay Haley. The many examples of Erickson's unconventional approach were an intellectual treat to read, consider, and extrapolate upon. In attempting to follow this train of interest, I purchased "My Voice Will Go With You - The Teaching Tales of Milton H. Erickson" edited with commentary by Sidney Rosen. Rosen's examples of Erickson's therapy are not as numerous nor as pointed. And, to further dilute the adventure, Rosen offers lenghty analysis, sometimes quite strained in my opinion, of Erickson's motives and or thought processes in arriving at solutions or providing advice to patients. Whereas I would wholeheartedly recommend "Uncommon Therapy" I cannot do the same for "My Voice Will Go With You." It is more a pendantic study suitable for, perhaps, psychology students with a goal of ferreting out every last detail of Erickson's practice. For those of us fascinated, intrigued, surprised, and entertained by Erickson's unique take on people and behavior, we will have to look elsewhere for a good follow up to "Uncommon Therapy."

Editorial Review:

Milton H. Erikson has been called the most influential hypnotherapist of our time. Closely related to his therapy was his use of "teaching tales." Calling upon shock, surprise, confusion—with generous use of questions, puns, and playful humor—he seeded suggestions indirectly and positively with these tales, here gathered together by Dr. Rosen.

Journey Of Souls: Case Studies of Life Between Lives

Destiny of Souls: New Case Studies of Life Between Lives

As a Clinical Hypnotherapist, this book has profoundly touched both my personal and professional lives. In his first two books, Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls, Michael Newton exposes the reader to a nonlinear superconscious reality in which we can experience the essence of who we are and why we incarnate as we do. Life Between Lives takes this a step further by guiding practitioners through the detailed process of spiritual regression. This is a "must read" for ALL hypnotherapists doing regression work.

Editorial Review:

Dr. Michael Newton is world-famous for his spiritual regression techniques that take hypnotic subjects back to their time in the spirit world. His two best-selling books of client case studies, Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls, have left thousands of readers eager to discover their own afterlife adventures, their soul companions and guides, and their purpose in this lifetime.

Now, for the first time in print, Dr. Newton reveals his step-by-step methods. His experiential approach to the spiritual realms sheds light on the age-old questions of who we are, where we came from, and why we are here. This groundbreaking guidebook, designed for both hypnosis professionals and the general public, completes the afterlife trilogy by Dr. Newton.

The god of hypnosis 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This and the second volume is the definitive guide to hypnosis. What out though it is not an ordinary book. It is for doctors as such. Meaning that if you haven't come across the topic of hypnosis then read up on it before getting this book. Very technical. Saying that, that means that this is where you learn the heart and soul of hypnosis. It is not step by step for getting people into hypnosis it is the understanding of hypnosis, which leads to a better hypnotist.

Center of the vortex 5 out of 5 stars.

If you ever wanted to learn NLP or hypnosis then this is the center of the vortex. Everything about modern persuasion goes back to the unassuming Milton Erickson. Everyone from Richard Bandler to Tony Robbins owes a great debt to him.

A Must For NLP Study 5 out of 5 stars.

This book will introduce some of the foundations needed to fully understand NLP. It acts as a great goto reference as you continue to learn beyond the scope of this book.

An intro to NLP 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Milton Erickson is legendary for his work in hypnosis. This book is a great introduction to his ways of using language to induce trance states. It is a good intro into NLP (neurolinguistic psycotherapy). i think it is more useful as a reference book for those interested in neuropsychology but it reads well in straight reading format as well.

Must Have 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This is a must have, it gives you so many suggestions and metaphors that you can also get ideas for your own, one of the first books I brought in 1993 and have used it so many times. SPH UK

A must-have! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This book is a MUST have for the serious clinical hypnotherapist. I think my favorite part is that its not filled with lame "scripts" to follow. Rather it is a compilation of ideas of ways to approach many particular problems with many clients. And, for those of us who already understand that with each client what you say is so individual, this book is handy insomuch as it offers ideas...and good ones at that. Its sort of like having another hypnotherapist available to consult with.

Editorial Review:

Designed as a practical desktop reference, this book is the largest collection of hypnotic suggestions and metaphors ever compiled.

This is the start of the modern self-help movement 5 out of 5 stars.
20 of 20 people found this review helpful.

.

This is the start of the modern self-help movement. Shakti Gawain took this course as did many others in the self-help industry.

The mediation technique outlined in this book is the the SINGLE BEST beginners technique I have ever found and I teach it to others with great results.

This book is best used AFTER you take the class, and want to follow through with genuine change in your life.

The Silva Mind Control Method will change you and the way you think of the world.

Life changing material 4 out of 5 stars.
11 of 11 people found this review helpful.

I list this book as one of my favorites, not because it is the best written book out there, nor is the information the most up to date; rather I count it as one of my favorites because the information in it drastically changed my life over 15 years ago. I hope that by encouraging others to read it, they will experience the same types of improvements in their lives.

The book starts with an introduction of Jose Silva, founder of the Silva Mind Control Method and goes on to explain how the material was developed. It then overviews the Silva Mind Control course and the benefits one can expect from taking the course.

The material is a little dated as it was originally developed in the late 60's and early 70's, the book was written in the 70's and the course, other than being condensed to one weekend rather than two has changed little over time, despite the developments in our understanding of the mind since then.

I still think the book is a worthwhile read and millions of people all over the world still benefit from this material, even if it is a little dated. I still read the book myself about once a year. I also incorporate a daily meditation practice as a direct result of reading this material so many years ago.

My advice; read the book and get all the benefit that you can from it and when you are ready to take a course, look for more current material such as "Silva 2000, Essential Mind Power" which includes the best of the tried and true material, but has been updated and improved using the latest findings in mind science.

Milton Erickson, Where are you now that I need you? 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Extremely interesting portrait of Milton Erickson highlighted by many case studies that are fascinating. Very informative and enjoyable. For those of you who have an interest in psychology and are tired of reading variations of the same idea, give Dr. Erickson a shot. His methods at times are hilarious, yet effective. Entertaining, informative, enlightening. I hope he takes my insurance.

A Useful Book 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Uncommon Therapy is a good survey of Dr. Milton Erickson's approach to therapy. The book consists of stories from Erickson's case files along with an explanation of the approach that Erickson took. This book is potentially useful for anyone who has problems and wishes to solve them as the techniques could be applied on a personal level. The people who should be interested in reading this book are the professionals who wish vary their and customize their approach to their patients.

My interest in the book was to find out more about Erickson and his therapeutic techniques that I could apply in my own life. It succeeded in satisfying both my aims. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book.
