It all makes sense!
I was reading the book and nodding my head!How does Dr. Alman know what I'm thinking and feeling? Keep It Off
Subject: MANY CONGRATULATIONS! Shedding Emotional Weight
Dr. Alman's techniques have changed my life.I am no longer living with one foot (or two) in the past. I discovered feelings I didn't know I had.Great things are happening in my life because Dr. Alman has taught me how I can make them happen.What amazes me is how quickly and completely these changes have been effected since beginning to use the techniques detailed in this book. I am now aware of how poorly I'd been treating myself and have gained acceptance of myself.I have no desire for a "quick fix" solution to my weight problem and no desire to resist eating healthily and exercising.The pounds are simply melting away.I know that I am making it happen, but it seems effortless! This book makes the process of shedding emotional weight a breeze to follow. Thanks Dr. Alman! ... Read more

What do I do with this book?
I completely agree with the review that questioned Bruce Goldberg's knowledge of the subject matter. I purchased the book because the jacket suggested interesting subject matter. Trying to read through each chapter was agonizing. The author would do well to have a good editor organize the book, putting topics under a chapter heading appropriate to the content. Oh, I agree. The content seemed to have been made up. The book is riddled heavily with misinformation.
Deceiving the Masses
This book is riddled with fallacies and very poorly organized. Although some of the ideas were interesting, it seemed like the author just made everything up! It's amazing that something like this actually got published.

The book is fantastic for those who want to shed the physical realm. A great guide for the beginner in Astral Projection. ... Read more

The best book on self-hypnosis!
This book was excellent: comprehensive, clear, and helpful! It not only explained how hypnosis developed and what it is about, but also pointed out the various theories and perspectives so that I got an intelligent understanding. The practical exercises through out made it very easy for me to develop hypnosis and use it. Ilearnedhow suggestion works and how to use it so that I could formulate suggestions that were personally meaningful and really struck a chord in me. I was also able to use the mind-body link chapter to work with my own reactions. When I felt a little resistance, I tried the chapter on resistance and found that I was able to respond well! I can now develp a deep trance by following the methods given in this book. I also followed along with the very helpful tape and use it regularly. The voices are clear and relaxing to listen to. I highly recommend this very useful, readable, and likeable book/tape combination!

Interesting but not a lot of practical help
I'm more interested in practical guidebooks and this was too academic without being academic. I think by trying to cater to both professionals and 'hobbyists' they fail at both. The section on inducing trance is way lacking in details and reads like 'relax, think about relaxing, let your mind drift, now lift yourself out of trance'. Huh? I have hypnotized myself many times and this stuff was too simple.
It worked!
I ordered this book on a last ditch effort to help me quit picking my fingers. I've had this compulsive habit since I was 7 years old. I've tried everything and nothing has worked because I was doing it unconsciously. I couldn't stop myself when I didn't know I was doing it. This book wasn't a magic bullet. It just allowed me to tap my unconscious mind. Now I know why I was doing it (nervousness). I notice when I'm about to start doing it and I have a way to keep myself from doing it. This book guided me through exploring self-hypnosis. The tape was key because it helped me do a hypnosis session for the first time. The book explained what hypnosis is and gave several chapters on how to solve common problems. I used the chapter on how to quit smoking to help me build a plan for myself to quit picking my fingers. After 5 sessions I've totally stopped picking my fingers. I mean I haven't picked once since then! What an achievement! I can't begin to tell you how glad I am that I ordered this book! ...

warning
if you are a lover of the work EDGAR C you will not waste your hard earned money on this rubbish,it begins with a slight mention of him and then goes off on its own course.Edgars work was all about the road to the development of the christ consciousness within, in line with the teachings of Jesus. very enlightening

Very nice but don't waste your money.....
OK, this is a beautiful book, I admit. Yet it is totaly uninformative it only has quotes and doesn't teach you really something. It's too general.

Riveting!
This is another one of those books that I couldn't put down - in fact I read all of the nearly 300 pages in a couple of days - a testament to just how interesting this story is.

I don't understand
The book is well-written and I quite enjoyed it -- I read it in two days so it is also easy reading.However, there was one area I think the author needed to explain a little better because I did not understand it.How can a person live two lives in the same time period as this person reveals under hypnosis?He had an explanation that involved quantum physics but I'm much afraid that his explanation went zooming over my head like a fighter jet bound for Afghanistan. ...

Winning the Mind Game
Review from Winning the Mind Game
This book is directed towards the ones that coach athletes with the aim to improve performance, and deals with how one in a systematic way can use hypnosis for this purpose.The authors claim that the method they describe can be very successful but that there is a multitude of other ways that works at least as good.This humble attitude is kept throughout the book and contributes to a very pleasant reading atmosphere.The reader gets many interesting perspectives on sport psychology and many case stories can provide a source of inspiration for the coach or psychologist.A strength and weakness with this book is that it is very clear and detailed, sometimes too clear and detailed and even extracted, which perhaps makes the book more suitable for beginners in sports psychology.

Isn't it great someone finally shared this?!
Linda Gabriel's book speaks of going after what you want by realizing everything you need is inside of you."Abundance.." gives us a roadmap to find what we were always meant to have.She writes with such clarity and vision.And her voice...what a wonderful idea to include a CD with the book, so that if you start losing your way again, you can pop it in, listen up, and be reminded of why you can make it...do it... have it. Great book.

A must!
This is a wonderful book and it's the first time I've ever actually filled in the blanks as I went! The affirmations in the book are truly transformational and Linda has a beautiful way of highlighting issues I thought I'd already dealt with.The quotes and stories are very inspirational.Anyone looking to create abundance in their life is sure to benefit from this book.

This little book packs a punch!!
I am an avid reader and found this book to be packed full of great information as well as tangible tools that can easily be used and integrated into you daily living. It is very empowering and a fun read. I really really enjoyed it and am planning on including it in my christmas "enlightenment gift baskets"...Open to your receptivity and abundance...buy this book! ... Read more

ya ol' grumpy fart-head
I have no opinion of this book, never read it. I do, however, believe, that Samer, or whatever, needs to pull his underwear WAY out of his behind and have some ice cream or something.

FOOD IS NOT LOVE
This book is a complete waste of time. Meditation is completely ridiculous. You don't lose weight by meditating or by praying to the gods. You lose weight when you eat less. So here is a suggestion Catherine..and i presume you are still quite huge. I will write a book for you , and it will be very short. STOP EATING!!! Everyone who bought this book i recommend you to do the same. It's not brain surgery. Quit putting sugar on your toothpaste and stop eating buckets of KFC. That may help.
All self help should be written this clearly
This author has impacted my life tremendously with basic down to earth writing style, and virtually tons of information.From the first day, I felt better. I am using her process not only for my weight, but I am building my confidence and self esteem. My teenagers are benefiting from it too.I hear them say things that they read in the book. I hope this author keeps writing!! ... Read more

Hypnosis and more
I was hoping to read a book on hypnosis when I checked this book from the library.I never knew what hypnosis is all about - legitimate way of accessing subconscious, or hocus pokus.So, I set out on learning more about it by exploring the topic.This particular book was unique in a way that it explains what the hypnosis is and what state a person is in when hypnotized. What was a pleasant surprise was a fact that many shortcomings we all have: fear, lack of self confidence, desire to loose weight and many other topics can actually be conquered by using hypnisis and meditation methods as described in the book.In short, book will explain to you psychological reasons for certain experiences we all have and the alternative ways of correcting the undesired qualities, or enhancing the qualities we wish to enhance.You will learn in this book how to attract good things in one's life such as: health and happiness, - or how to love oneself first, so that you can love the people around you.Well written.Interesting read for open minded.

Wow!
I was concerned that this might be another boring book about self hypnosis but it was nothing of the kind. This book is new and fresh. Wow! What a surprise for a hypnosis book!
I thought self hypnosis was all about, "sit down, relax, take a deep breath and space out." I was wrong. This book is a life changer! It is so practical. Read more

How are people influenced by others ?
I am an NLP Master Practitioner trained to the highest standards of NLP (as there are some quick and dirty NLP courses around). The science of NLP is to understand the way we think based on modelling other people. This is a method for replicating talent. Read more
