A Critical History of Hypnotism: The Unauthorized Story
Despite more than two centuries of having tacitly recognized its enormous potential utility, the phenomenon of hypnosis has always been commonly regarded with outright Fear and Loathing. How is it possible that something as beneficial to humanity as hypnosis ever came to be viewed in such a horrible manner? I intend to show that the history of hypnotism provides us with the clue to this unfortunate legacy; and I've neither spared anyone's feelings nor pulled any punches in this quest to reveal the shamefully appalling level of incompetence and ignorance that has characterized the (mis)use of this phenomenon since its discovery by Mesmer more than two hundred years ago.

O.K. you got me! How could I NOT love my own book?!
But is this merely a case of shameless self-promotion,
or is it actually as good as I (and the first few reviewers to have seen it) think?
Only ONE way to find out folks: go to my website: www.historyofhypnotism.com and read a number of FREE chapters in order to decide for yourself if I'm "full of it" or not.
All that will be required of you is an open mind, and a healthy sense of humor...
