How to Hypnotize Yourself Without Losing Your Mind: A Self-Hypnosis Training Program for Students & Educators

by Wayne F. Perkins

How do you achieve all of your goals using self-hypnosis? Wayne F. Perkins, Clinical Hypnotherapist, teaches you not only the principles and theories of hypnosis but allows you to experiment with self-hypnosis before much of the theory is presented. How To Hypnotize Yourself Without Losing Your Mind , is a combination textbook/workbook, that teaches you step by step how and when to give yourself suggestions and then how to apply them to help you achieve all of your personal goals. The Perkins Method of Self-hypnosis may be used by hypnotherapists to teach their clients how to administer and master self-hypnosis. Unlike most self-hypnosis books that begin with hypnosis justification, history, and theory, Wayne allows you to experience meaningful hypnosis by Chapter 3. Finishing Chapter 11, the reader/student will have been presented the complete art of self-suggestion. The reader may hyperlink to the history, theory, or hypnosis resources chapters at any time during the instruction, but it is not necessary. The reader controls where and when meaningful goal achievement instruction will take place. "How To Hypnotize Yourself Without Losing Your Mind," is constructed with spiral binding. This allows the reader to write in the book and complete its many activities, as the book remains at on a desk or table. Additional hypnosis exercise and evaluation forms are included to allow you to use these techniques on challenges as they arrive in your life. New information is presented and updated in this Trafford, on-demand-published book. Students and hypnotherapists can complete a registration form and be notified when free revisions, chapters and hypnosis resources are available in the future.

I was very excited to receive this book and had been looking forward to it's arrival. Many of the reviews were very positive, and I considered the "advertisement" adage as just a fluke (sorry now that I didn't head the warning). As I began reading this I was pleasantly surprised to find it an easy read even though it seemed to be published in a textbook/teachers guide format (spiral bound publication). The information was accurate and practical.

With that said let me explain what did NOT appeal to me. I found that any real substance in this book could have very easily fit in a small pocket book of less than 30 pages. The information was practical and easy to understand but nothing unique and would not be remarkably enlightening to anyone who has read even "beginners" books on the subject.

The exercises were logical and truly the only real information, I felt, useful. The "scripts" were very average and similar ones that can be obtained on many free web sources. But what really troubled me about this book was this:

As I began reading, the author repeatedly gives his web address, mentioning what a great information source it was (no exaggeration when I say about every third page, for the first section of the book). Even stating; "if you do not have Internet access, I would strongly recommend that you get access." My initial thought was `how nice I can read the book and refer to the site for updates and additional information'. Later, when I ventured to the site I was greatly disappointed. Realizing it was nothing more than a very unprofessional web-site only being utilized for Advertisement to promote his E-books and training's. No Real information at all. There was nothing of substance, only a few descriptions and hints "sample chapters" about his books. The entire concept left me with a negative perception of this author. Feeling his real objective
had little to nothing to do with educating and most or ALL to do with MAKING MORE MONEY!!!

Now if truly intend to purchase this book for the sparse information it carries, I feel we can all learn from several sources. It is practical, and easy to understand, but be prepared to be repeatedly reminded of his true intent with the all to obvious advertising threw out the book.

My personal recommendation would be that you not waist your time or money and find a better self-hypnosis source. There are several better ones out there, along with some great information on the web if your willing to do a little searching.
Good luck on your ventures.
