This group will hopefully provide an online equivalent of your favorite bookstore, where you can browse to your heart's content and occasionally find a real treasure.
Many of us have already posted opinions and discussions about various books on Hypnothoughts, which would only require a quick cut and paste to transfer here. And if you have written a book yourself, don't be modest -- tell us about it! But these should only be the starting points for what hopefully will become an increasingly valuable source of personal and professional development for us all.
Please note the difference between the Discussion section (where you post the reviews themselves) and the Comment section (where you comment about them). It can get confusing sometimes, because you can also comment in the Discussion section about the postings of others -- and good reading!

In my ongoing quest to provide honest assessments of hypnosis-related material, I've posted a new review of The Phone Book to my Real Hypnosis Reviews Blog:

My thanks to Michael Ellner, btw, for recommending The Phone Book to me.

Glad you liked the review, Hugh.
To paraphrase Holmes (Chris, not Sherlock), viewing nicotine as an addictive drug can be a self-limiting belief, making it tougher for smokers to quit.
I'm not 100% committed to Holmes' take on the matter, but it seems an interesting and possibly useful view.

James ... You did a great job with that review .. Thanks. I have thumbed through the book (volume 1) but set it aside as the title didn't seem to match the contents. I looked at in the context of an earnest attempt to say Hypnosis is a better solution than Nicotine substitutes. A premise I agree with of course. However it missed the mark for me as something I wanted to recommend to smoking clients. Nicotine is a poisen and nicotine IS an addictive drug. Anecdotal evidence and humerous sleight of hand aside, that is something that is the cornerstone of a good smoking cessation program. Although, a don't recall needing a "benzo" patch or "benzo" gum to help other clients kick addictive habits.
Anyway .. enjoyed your review I guess I found too many of the nits early on to recommend it as a worthwhile read.

- "Psycho-Cybernetics" by Maxwell Maltz, M.D. had a major benefit for me as a tool I used in transitioning from a mere average bowler to becoming a Senior Professional Bowler back in the late 80's-90's. It was the source by which I first became aware of the fact that the mind can not tell the difference between that which is real and that which is vividly imagined. So using the tecniques of visualization and imagination, I used a 2 week hospital stay to practice seeing my self as an expert bowler and then upon discharge I did indeed transition into just that. Of coarse, I have since and currently utilize these tools in living life and practicing hypnosis.

Many, many thanks Don, for...
creating this thread as I concur completely with you on its potential value and have personally already drawn on some of it in the last 30 minutes or so.

Faster Alan.
In my opinion this induction is Only useful in a stage or demonstration situation and as such it's simply more dramatic if you do it with a lot more energy! ;-)
Sadly to a point you are right Richard. You can be a so-so un-entertaining stage hypnotist and draw people. However although that's great in a tourist town say like Vegas where it will be 12 months or more before people return, in a more home town s…
Sweet work Alan!
np Scott and...
thanks for all your effort and time dealing with that issue and keeping our community free of such distractions.
Just completed a training course with Anne Jirsch on Future Life Progression and Oh MY God what a phenomenal resource tool this is. To be able to take clients forward five or ten years to see how their lives have panned out and discover how they got…
thanks Scott,
Once again your (and others) caring about running this forum exceeds all expectations.

For those who might wish for unlimited downloads...
Try MegaUpload; I believe the downloads there do
not time out, and all one needs to do as with YSI
is to post the link here.
I have created a group as a place for people to post downloadable .mp3's pf sessions they create, and for people to listen to them and benefit and/or learn from them.
A beautiful post.
