Useful Perspectives

I picked up this book as a person with a budding interest in hypnosis but no experience with it whatsoever. This is the second book on hypnosis I have read, the first being Reality is Plastic by Anthony Jacquin. After Jacquin's book I felt I had a reasonable grasp on the How of hypnotism, but not the What or Why. How To Do Hypnosis was a wonderful book to fill in those gaps in a way that makes hypnotism seem much more intuitive. I particularly appreciated the questions/reflecting points that follow each section.

Good read for hypnosis

This is a definite read if you are hypnotist, a hypnosis trainer or if you are interested in learning how effective hypnosis is. It has many successful inductions, deepeners and much more. I've read other books the author has wrote and this is probably my favorite so far.
