Self-Hypnosis For Dummies

I found this book at the library. It was such a good book, and the CD was even more helpful, to me, than the book. I ordered the book New. When the book arrived there was no CD. The book still had the pages in it that discussed the CD. It looked like the publisher did not even put a CD in the book, because it did not look as if one had been removed. When buying this book be sure to get one with the CD included. The CD gives you many live examples of what they are trying to teach in the book.

The process recommended in Self-Hypnosis for Dummies does help me go to sleep at night. This is what I purchased it for.

The book arrived quickly and in the condition described.

I am reminded of the line about asking someone for the time and being told how to make a watch. Lots of information in this bookbut could be too much information.

Over half of this book's 300+ pages is pure padding to get it up to what I assume is the minimum thickness demanded by the "Dummies" editors. Worse still, the author continually insults readers' intelligence with cute sentences such as this one: "Fractionation is a scary sounding word, but you may be relieved to know that this isn't turning you into a Humpty-Dumpty type character, where you shatter into pieces and have to be put back together again." Really? Just about every page has similar silly language.It's a shame that what might be useful information is buried under a mountain of fluff.

What are we supposed to get when we buy a "for Dummies" book?Does the title suggest that the book teaches advanced techniques for graduate students? I don't think so.Well, if all you want is an introduction to self-hypnosis, this book is an excellent choice. It is well written, well-organized, and very practical.

Exactly as described

Excellent book on hypnosis. Written in a very simple but professional way.

The "for dummies" books are generally great as introductions and I have read many over the years. However, it seems as if they are now being printed "in house" via Amazon and not by the original publisher/printer/binder. The last few I have brought are exactly the same as the originals except they have "printed and bound by Amazon" inside the back cover. Normally this isnt an issue, except in the case of this book it means you now dont get the CD - even though it is referred to in the text and contents page. Also a thinner and bendy cover, no longer do you have the "cheat sheet" page and poor binding and cheap white paper instead (and the way the paper is bound means it doenst stay flay and is wavy). This is poor quality in comparison to the original "for dummies" books. I guess its a sign of the times and more books will go this route. Maybe buy secondhand if you can get a decent copy.

I really enjoyed this book and found it to be effective . I have read a few books offering the same sort of information but I found this to be more useful . Written by real people without the fake , over hyped nonsense so easily found in other books. So much better than a lot more expensive books written by so called ' experts ' . Recommend this book if you want to approach this subject in a realistic , truthful way . Don't waste your money on over hyped books promising to change your life in a short time , with minimum effort . Life doesn't work this way and I think this book is aimed at people who know that positive changes take effort and commitment . I was surprised by this book , at how much better it was in comparison to many others I have read .

I have experienced hypnosis before through hypnotherapy, and wanted a resource to help me practice it for myself. I initially was looking for the textbook my hypnotherapist lent me, but found it a bit too dry. I came across Self-Hypnosis for Dummies by accident, but when I flicked through a couple of pages I liked what I saw an bought it. I am really impressed with it!I have never bought a '...for Dummies' book before, but have found this an excellent book. There's something for anyone who wants to use self-hypnosis in their lives. It's well written, interesting, funny, informative, easily accessible and practical. I bought a couple of other hypnosis books at the same time, but haven't even looked at them because this one is giving me everything I need right now. It covers everything from being aware of what you want to achieve through self-hypnosis, goal setting, and then all the practicalities you need to understand self-hypnosis and put it into practice.I had a basic knowledge and understanding of hypnosis through experience and prior reading, but I still find this book a fantastic read and practical resource to help me put the knowledge and techniques into practice and improve the quality of my efforts.A fantastic book - I definitely recommend it!

This book is a must for anyone wanting to learn the basics of self hypnosis and start producing their own exercises. No flashy jargon just good, well written and informative.

The book was received but without the CD which was supposed to accompany the product. This was disappointing
