5 comments about Self Hypnosis: Easy Ways to Hypnotize Your Problems Away - Revised Edition.

1. The need to examine our sub-consious is necessary and this is a way good way to learn to do it on our own.



2. Overcome habits, phobias and other problems using self-hypnosis and this book, which advocates a 20-minute daily program of self-hypnosis using one's own recordings to `reprogram' subconscious behaviors. Dr. Bruce Goldberg maintains all hypnosis is really self-hypnosis: he's worked with over 14,000 patients since 1974 and in the revised edition of Self Hypnosis: Easy Ways To Hypnotize Your Problems Away he includes a guided set of exercises on CD as reinforcers.



3. the purchase of the book was the way things are supposed to work, ie on time and in good condition. worth 5 stars



4. Self Hypnosis as those of us searching for a book on it is meant to be a way to reach the sleeping mind the way to do this is through trance Bruce Goldberg offers this as well as many scripts From Ordinary to the Extradordinary does is work sure if your consistent I Know the Cd I listen to will make you feel good because you keep hearing positive things and since your relaxed your more likely to believe them . Does Bruce Goldberg offer many Scripts and a Cd For a great price I might say sure but if you more as to why which I didnt know that I wanted till I bought this book then try another book because its one thing to blindly hypnotize yourself which this book will help you do but why and how Bruce does give a brief history and a few lines on how to make your own scripts but the books is mainly for the scripts which cover the common stuff Self confidence smoking weight etc. then in the end of the book for you new Agers there are different scripts for Astral Travel as well as all the Way to your higher Self ..........So you decide what you want.



5. Having read so many books and having taken so many courses on hypnosis and hypnotherapy, I find the book's content to be sound and consistent with what I know about hypnosis/hypnotherapy --- yes, even the parts on the unexplainable phenomenon of past life regression/progression, things we cannot explain, but nevertheless experience and validated to be true. If I should have any complaints about this book though, its got a lot more to do with the CD. Having done hypnosis perhaps countless times, I find his CD to be rather fast paced; the absence of vivid imageries in the script was the thing i find most wanting. Otherwise, I thought this is a very good buy. Btw, his approach, if you need to know is direct and almost authoritarian. A complimentary book to read after this would be Conversational Hypnosis by Carol Sommer. Having read these two, methinks you're set and ready to go!

2 comments about Short Stories and Metaphors.

1. The stories are based on the adverse effects that behaviours, attitudes and actions have had on the lives of others. Therefore, if the readers can benefit from recognising symptoms of their own issues that have caused problems, then there is the possibility that they can take corrective action before suffering strikes them.
   John Smale has created analogies, examples and metaphors for the world and humanity. In this way we can learn afresh by looking at ourselves from a new perspective and overcome problems.

5 comments about Hypnosis for Change.

1. This was a pretty good book. Actually went a little more in depth about certain health problems and the like than some others that I have read, and it gives a lot of example inductions and other great stuff like that which is good for a beginner...



2. I liked this book a lot. I feel that it would benefit the novice as well as the professional hypnotherapist. In this book it gives you information on exactly what to do with each situation it talks about. It gives you inductiona as well. It also talks about different type of hypnotic communication, I liked that part. This book would definetly help you along the way while you are studying and practicing hypnotherapy.



3. The author presents an easy to read, interesting and usefull book on hypnosis. I was able to use the historical section for my lectures at various universities. The applications of hypnosis were simple to understand, yet advanced enough to meet the needs of professionals. I was very happy with the way Ms. Hadley explained the cognative approaches to smoking cessation, weight reduction and stress management. I am happy to recommend this book to my students.



4. This book is a really good starting point for a person looking to get involved with the field of clinical hypnosis as Hadley and Staudacher have clearly outlined the basic process. Providing useful inductions and scripts, you could practice with this volume for awhile and then could decide if you wanted to go on to more intensive hands-on practice.



5. I was assigned this book as a student in Hypnosis 101 and still refer to it in my
   professional practice. It is well written for the professional yet easily understood
   by the casual reader. It is very motivating and gives hope and direction for those wanting to make a change. No wonder it is cited in at least five other texts.

1 comments about Develop Successful Relationships.

1. These CD's are an easy listen filled with wonderfully phrased, motivational words. Glenn's Australian accent is a pleasure to listen to. Places on the CD have music as well that accompanies the voice. I LOVE these CD's and own most of them. If you live in the states you may hear an occassional terminology that is not common in the U.S. (Example, in the weight series he uses a weight measurement of a 'stone' which is a British term that represents 14 pounds). This happen rarely and certainly does not detract from the message presented in any of Glenn's CD's. You can't really listen to these in the car as they are a little hypnotic so be sure you are in a stress free mind set and location when you listen to any of therse CD's. I felt they were worth every penny.

5 comments about Hypnosis for Self-confidence and Self-esteem (Hypnotic Empowerment Series for Self-Awakening) (Hypnotic Empowerment Series for Self-Awakening) (Hypnotic Empowerment Series for Self-Awakening).

1. I have numerous hypnosis CDs and this one is by far the most professionally done. You have to relax your body to accept suggestions, and I found this CD did that very well. The content was very good... the induction, the suggestions, etc.
   She has a very soothing voice that is well modulated and well timed. I actually found it more relaxing without music on the CD than with.



2. I was so very disappointed. I was really looking forward to receiving this CD. I was hoping that it would help me with some jealousy and insecurity issues that I have. This CD only had about three or four different phrases that it kept repeating over and over. very long relaxation. so long that I wasn't relaxed, I was anxious. Do not recommend at all.



3. People love confidence. Hmmmm... All of the cd's in this series are excellent. I own five of them. See my in depth reviews of Sleep Deeply, and Stress Reduction.



4. I can't help being amazed at the affect listening to this CD has had on me. I also cannot help being amazed at some of the stuff people will
   write on these reviews. How can one person tell everyone else that
   self-help CDs and books don't work and that everyone needs to stop wasting
   money and see a shrink. Not everyone needs a shrink, and not everyone can
   afford to see a shrink. Get real! I've used self-help a lot through the
   years and had excellent results, like with this CD, and it is not a placebo effect either! Honestly, for the price of this CD, there really isn't much to lose by trying it. The authors voice is wonderful, well modulated, and very relaxing. I found the suggestions to be quite good and to the point. The suggestions cover anything negative you may have heard or experienced from the moment of conception to the present and beyond. I liked this because it is now believed that babies in the woumb are affected by things they hear, positive and negative. Just be sure to email the author for the detailed instructions. The email address is on the CD and the response is fast. I'm sure most people don't use the self-help CDs correctly which really limits their ability to help. Especially hypnosis CDs. Your mind needs to hear the suggestions over and over in order for the impact to be powerful and long lasting. I've gotten a lot of help from using hypnosis over the last 8 years or so, so I probably know a little bit more about it than most people. I know how to make it work for me. The instructions, if you email for them, will give you good information on hypnosis and how to properly use the CD to get the most from it. So do it, get the CD, get the instructions, listen to the CD as instructed and see what happens. Nothing works for everyone and I am sure most people know this but don't condemn the self-help industry just because you need more help than a CD or book can give you. If the CD doesn't work for you pass it along to someone else, it may work very well for them. If you are like me and you have a few rough edges to smooth out try the CD. If you have heard negative things throughout your life regarding how you look or how smart you are, or should I say, how stupid you are, try the CD. Most of what I heard came from kids I went to school with growing up, and of course from my brothers and sisters which was all about sibling rivalry. Perhaps even some from my parents in the form of, "Why can't you be more like so and so? He is good in school, plays in the band..." You get my drift here. Anyway, the person who wrote the review about getting real psychological help, well, I'm sure he needs it because he is ranting like a lunatic and I hope he is getting the help he needs but it isn't logical to think all people using self-help techniques need professional help. One last thing, the memory CD in this series is excellent as well.



5. The hypnosis CD's by Glenn Harrold work much better for me now that I've experienced someone else. I was hoping that the lack of music was going to make this CD a welcome addition to my hypnotherapy collection, but all this CD did was relax me.
   
   I was hoping it would build my self esteem (make me feel better about myself) and confidence but it didn't give me any afirmations. This was a waste of money for me.

2 comments about Stop Smoking Forever.

1. I bought this CD for my son and my husband. My husband used it once, but is not ready to quit. My son, on the other hand, started it about 3 weeks ago and hasn't touched a cigarette since. He's tried quitting before but never been successful. He can't believe this is working for him.



2. I have been a smoker for 20 years and can't even count the number of times I have tried to quit. My main problem was that I was always looking for that excuse to start again. I got this CD about two weeks ago. It is very relaxing and calming. I always listen to it before bed and usually end up falling asleep. I listened to it a couple of nights when I first got it. It's not magic. It won't make you want to quit if you don't really want to. When I decided a few days later that I really wanted to quit, I started taking the Commit lozenges and listening to the CD every night. I truly haven't wanted a cigarette and haven't smoked in a week. I have tried the lozenges before and they helped, but I always ended up going back to the cigarettes. The urge never seemed to go away. Now it has! This is truly the easiest quitting experience I have ever had. I highly recommend this CD if you are really ready to quit forever.

5 comments about HypnoBirthing: A Celebration of Life.

1. I taught myself Hypnobirthing with the book and the CD. I listened to the tapes everynight. When it came time for birth the relaxations worked wonderfully. I had the best birth experience thanks to Marie Mongan. I would buy stock in her product!



2. Instead of this book try Hypnobabies, they have a VERY complete Home Study Course and also offer live classes across the USA and even in Australia. This book is meant to accompany the live classes.



3. Many of you mentioned that this book is meant to be a companion to the Hypnobirthing class and b/c of that you felt you were missing information.... The book that is more comprehensive is _Hypnobirthing: The Mongan Method_. It does explain things more fully with diagrams, etc. Check out that one and the user reviews there. It's really helpful.



4. Most books for expecting mothers are fear based, such as "What to expect when you're expecting." Not so with this book. I used this "HypnoBirthing" book and the hypnobirthing technique for my first birth and had a fun, wonderful and pain-free experience. The book contains both the history of and techniques for a better birthing experience. I recommend this book to everyone. If you can find a hypnobirthing instructor in your area, to go along with the book, all the better.



5. Like the other book I got my daughter, she did find this one helpful.

5 comments about How To Live The James Bond Lifestyle.

1. I had the book, so I knew about the seriousness of the subject, by a guy that's obviously applied what he is preaching. However, this eight hour marathon of one good idea after another, really took me by surprise. The author's authoritative voice, with support of other actors, made going from one disc to the other a real trip, that seemed to cover every possible way to get ahead imaginable. From now on, I probably won't be satisfied with other self-help audio-books, if they only have one speaker, no effects, or music. This audio-book got me spoiled.
   
   I was already using the ideas from the book, but seems like there's double the info, in the 8 CDs. Anyway, double the energy for sure. I like the way each disc is marked for each topic, and unlike the author figured, I didn't skip to the disc on Bond girls first. I listened from the beginning. I'm not a gambler, but his 'always win in the casino' made sense to me, anyway, fun to hear it. And I'll certainly use valet parking if I go to Vegas, after hearing the funny example of parking yourself with your Bond girl.
   
   David Hedison's introduction surrounded by Bond music really kicks it off. I'm thinking he could do his own motivational book, especially for wannabe actors. But for wannabe Bond's, I guess, this would be the course needed. I give it two thumbs up.



2. so i was already in the mode of a Double 0....buying this CD was all i needed to simply push myself forward into being a Double 0 ( no kills please )...in a way the CD purchase was like M promoting me into double 0 status..listening to it was like i am shifting gears upwards...
   
   Every since i bought the CD set and listened to it, i have already noticed changes in myself. I hit the gym more than usual having lost 10 pounds so far, i have a new 007 watch, no not Omega but a Graham by British masters ( i think each agent should choose their own kind of watch ), i have a gold coin just for that good feeling....etc.
   
   This review might seem juvenile to some readers but you must understand that success is not meant for everyone. You must be a person wanting to want it. badly enough i might add. This CD allowed me to see that and push myself forward into what i knew i always wanted.
   
   I think we all need a little imagination in our lives, makes our days a little more adventurous...
   
   Next year i will vacation at Paradise Island at the Ocean Club ( i already hv their number )...go do some diving, i am tryig to work harder and smarter at work to increase my salary base so i can "maybe" afford an aston martin...its a far fetch goal but not impossible, if anything its so worth the try .. plus other things.
   
   So i hope you will too do something that will improve your life. Remember a lot of people will say you are silly or think you are silly but what YOU think of yourself is more important. i used to always listen to my friends and familly i might add....got me nowhere...so i woke up one day and said i am going to listen to ME....in a year i become the owner of some real estate ( on two continents ), swam with stingrays, started organizing my life together, turned everything into missions, got what i needed from Q branch and already found myself improving etc...
   
   so please dont give up on yourself. You are the best thing that ever happened. And if you have the money to spare, then buy this CD set...its a great motivational tool and maybe the kickstart you need to get up from that couch and do something.
   
   Welcome to double 0. See you in the field. Next year you will find me at the Ocean Club playing cards or drinking a martini, or on the beach..trust me you wont miss that double 0 look...if you do see me, say hello....i would love to meet another double 0.
   
   best...F



3. I'd been fortunate enough to find the book and original cassette version of this program on amazon years ago. I listened to the tape so many times while driving that I wore it out. This 8 CD set has a lot more information than the original. You can tell Mr. Kyriazi has continued to learn and practice his techniques.
   
   From the introduction by David Hedison (Felix Leiter in two of the James Bond movies) through the "Clearing the Subconscious Mind" session on the last CD, this set places a powerful set of tools in your hands. Tools you can use to improve your lifestyle.
   
   Since I first listened to Mr. Kyriazi's program, I've upgraded my life signifcantly. I found my "Bond girl," got my first novel published, and drive a new Mustang GT. I don't know if any of these things would have happened if I hadn't discovered (and implemented) these well-thought out and explained techniques. Thanks, Paul!
   
   I can't recommend this strongly enough to anyone who is interested in improving his lifestyle.



4. This audiobook is not what you might expect. Of course I'm a Bond fan which brought my attention to this in the first place but, Mr. Kyriazi is not telling you to "be" James Bond it's about you, upgrading your lifestyle be it money, dress, girls, overall prosperity using several Bond movie references.
   I've listened to it twice in a row on my way to and from work and have actually taken some suggestions I've learned in the "book" and applied to my everyday life.
   If you are stuck in a rut and looking for some motivation to "get out" I would suggest getting a copy of this audio book.



5. Overall, an excellent cd packed with good solid advice--motivational and concrete practical. BUT the David Hedison intro was a complete waste of time, and had me yelling "Hellllp Meeeee..."
   The marketing technique of taking much of the standard golden guru wisdom and spray painting James Bond's image over it, is quite clever. There's not a lot of new stuff here, but all the classic self-help advice is convenient to have in one package.
   However, if you are going to call this a James Bond Lifestyle, and give advice of don't drink, don't smoke, don't speed--maybe you are talking the James Bond at his real present age--somewhere in his 90s.
   There was a lot more that could have been put in the cds--more specific websites for the kind of stuff that the author recommends you get. Also, there are intelligence related organizations that wannabes can join to rub up their spy image. (I could tell you which ones, but then I'd have to kill you).
   Bond, would have been in reality, an intelligence disaster, if he were a case officer. Much too showy, too noticeable. He would be more of the paramilitary type dressed in a tux.
   As far as the secret to getting women--watch the films--Bond was charming, but exuded a polite indifference to many of the women--and women HATE indifference--until they are intrigued by it.(Check out Daniel Craig in the train to Montenegro dining car scene in Casino Royale with "the money.")
   Spend all your cash on some lady, providing fun travel and entertainment? Sure--AFTER you've gotten to know her, and after you've gotten the sex out of the way, as one of my pals in Denmark used to say. There's plenty of cool stuff to do with the nubile newbies that doesn't cost all that much. (Fashion shows, gallery receptions, trade shows, wine tastings,etc.)
   The tips on dressing--YES. Once on a cruise in the Bahamas, I was thinking I couldn't score with a fistful of pardons in a woman's penitentiary, when one night I slipped into a Tux and strutted around the casino, like I belonged there. Scored a home run in less than an hour, and discovered that not all women from Arkansas look like Hillary Clinton. "Fashion helps," as Peter Weller said in "Shadow Hours." (And I look a lot more like Telly Savalas as Blofeld, than I do James Bond). Wanna make your foreign travel even more interesting--contact the trade mission or commercial attache' of the country you want to visit, and get some business leads relevant to your gig before you travel. Not only will you likely get VIP treatment when in country visiting your contacts, you can possibly write off part of the trip on your tax return. Did that when I went to Singapore, and had a grand old time. Anyway, you will enjoy this tape, follow its directions (but caveat credit card spender) and you will benefit. Within 24 hours of listening to the CD, I'm getting results already. Take your gold sovreign and get this program, so Goldfinger won't point a laser beam at your "gun."

1. THE MIND CHRONICLES: A VISIONARY GUIDE INTO PAST LIVES combines for the first time three books of The Mind Chronicles trilogy: EYE OF THE CENTAUR, HEART OF THE CHRISTOS, and SIGNET OF ATLANTIS. Having these all under one cover assures readers a uniform and easy reading of THE MIND CHRONICLES, covering initiations and secret ceremonies of the distant past.

2. One can read this book on two levels--or perhaps two hundred. It is smoothly and well written, and for one reading with just the conscious mind, it is fascinating, absorbing, and a wonder of a book. On another level, I found myself reading it as a remembrance of things I had forgotten in the dust of ages past. Things I had forgotten, things half remembered, lifetimes lived and not fully explored. I found myself understanding the action in the book at levels far beyond the conscious mind. Some might argue that the product of past life therapy is a group of mind fantasies, and if they do, nothing is lost. As a past life therapist myself, however, I would question the mind's ability to produce something of the awesome depth of this book as pure fantasy. Not only does this book have a profound depth and a wealth of metaphysical, spiritual and philosophical understanding, but it renders that wealth in a supremely readable format. I would give this book 6 stars if that were available.
