Summary: I have read my book and made it.
Review: I give this book five stars. This is because I have done Hypnosis all my life and I am sorry if your technique can't work. Here's the right way. 1. First get the person you want to get to hypnosis state get them there, also have someone watching you. 2. Tell them to go deeper and deeper in there sleep. 3. As they go deeper tell them to think of what they hate about there selves the most. Tell them to tell it to you. 4. When they tell you that, tell them if it is a physical problem to keep up exersice they do every day, and if it is mental try to fix it. 5. I guess you might remember when I cured the little girl of my friends pain in the year well you got the try the same thing. 6. Well thanks for reading my book. I have been doing Hypnosis for my whole life. I think you should use this on your self.Thanks

Summary: A fine book which will do what it advertises
Review: I had to read several books before becoming convinced
that self-hypnosis is really quite simple. The virtue of this
book is that it covers the subject simply and clearly enough
for anyone and in addition, provides a wide variety of
techniques to cover almost any problem amenable to
hypnotherapy

Summary: Great starter for beginners but....
Review: I understand the variety of many reviewers on here but felt compelled to share my experience with this book. First of all, for any "beginner" as the title indicates, this is in my opinion a helpful, positive selection. This book was the first I ever purchased on the subject and I am pleased that it was. Had I read any other book on this subject, prior to this one, I almost certainly would have been discouraged from pursuing hypnosis/hypnotherapy further. I found this book easy and fun to read, while also instilling confidence from the beginning. The majority of books I have since read on the subject are fairly dry and often take some understanding of specific terminology to grasp. But none the less contain often times necessary information for any true seeker. As far as hypnotizing, I personally read Hewitt's scripts directly from this book, within my first week of reading it, and had success with my first subject. With only the minor issue of having to repeat the induction (due to my own lack of confidence and the sitters skepticism), but ultimately resulting in a deep "trance state". I have since moved on but still use many of his tips and techniques in my own personal scripts. Due to it's low purchase price, ease of reading, and the fact that it covers several areas of interest to a "beginner", I feel this book is a worthwhile purchase and recommend it to anyone who is just starting out or even has a curiosity with the topic. On the other hand, if you are a more serious seeker, or have some knowledge and background in this area; thus looking for more serious instructions and information on this topic there are more appropriate choices out there. I would also recommend, that with this book, all "beginners" consider purchasing a book that focusing more about induction as the induction method Hewitt uses is not always as effective as it can be, should the inductor and sitter not be completely confident about the success. I have read several of Hewitt's books and feel his writing is easy, smooth and comprehendible. But as several of his title's indicate they are for "beginners". To my disappointed his arrogance is noted as a downfall to anyone who reads his books, as he references that in general only "his" books were needed for information and guidance in the areas of his books focus on. I have found, on the contrary, the more I read from various sources about any subject the more I learn. Every view point offers a unique perspective giving you the best possible way to gain individuality and establish your own concepts.

Summary: Review Of Hypnosis For Beninners
Review: I would strongly reccomend this book to anyone. It is not just a book full of myths but includes the real facts about hypnosis. You learn how to hypnotise yourself or someone else and there are examples of cases which include: how to loose weight, and how to help people with pain, bad weather blues, agoraphobia, chaustrophobia, the shut ins and the disabled. This book leaves no stone unturned and explains everything in detail.

Summary: The BEST hypnosis book I've encountered! Unmatched!
Review: I've read Discovering The Power of Self-Hypnosis by Dr. Stanley Fisher, Strategic Self-Hypnosis by Roger Straus, and Self-Hypnosis by Henry Leo Bolduc, but NONE compare to Hypnosis For Beginners: Reach New Levels of Awareness & Achievement by William W. Hewitt!
After browsing through the other books, it was obvious to an amateur like myself that Hewitt was better then them all. The other books, for the most part, seem to "talk" about hypnosis more than actually allow you to practice it. This is an obvious detriment. One only needs a brief history and get it done with. Hewitt's book gives many different suggestions on general hypnosis, and....you even get information and a "full" script for both past and current life regression, which none of the other authors give you.
I actually thought this book would have the least amount of data and helpful information, because it's not as "flashy" looking; looks is not what I'm looking for, but substance, and I get plenty of that from this book!!

Summary: Just an Introduction to Hypnosis for Absolute Beginners
Review: If you know absolutely nothing about hypnosis and you want to get some basic understanding, you can go ahead and read this book. It will guide you step-by-step in your first experiments with hypnosis.
The book provides you with some general overview of hypnosis and areas of use. It also provides you with hypnosis scripts. One warning regarding hypnosis scripts in general - any given script may or may not work for you, so instead of using scripts verbatim as they are presented, feel free to alter the wording to meet your particular needs and preferences.
The secret to your success with hypnosis is in your ability to use your imagination in a way that the desired outcome will feel REAL to you now. When you work with pre-written scripts, you may stumble upon some that work perfectly for you and others that will not do much for you. The entire purpose of the scripts is to help guide your imagination. Once you become experienced with using self-hypnosis, you won't need any more scripts. And even if you are practicing hypnosis on others, once you learn it well, then you also won't be using written scripts, but will guide the person into hypnosis in a way that is appropriate for the particular person.
But, well, it's true you have to begin somewhere and this book is alright to give you an idea, a taste of hypnosis. Just keep in mind that there is much more to hypnosis and if you really want to master it, keep reading, learning and experimenting.
On the positive side, this book is very easy to read. It will guide you through some sample sessions, different routines, and different applicatins of hypnosis.
There are much better books on hypnosis and if the information provided in this book doesn't work for you, it doesn't mean that you are not a good "hypnosis subject" - only that another approach may be more suitable for you - so don't stop with this book.

Summary: Hypnosis for Beginners by Hewitt
Review: The author describes the process of hypnosis and optimal
techniques for utilizing it in a variety of settings.
Hypnosis is best achieved with deep relaxation and accompanying
background music to establish a receptive environment. The brain
cycles to an alpha level in the optimal hypnotic mode. The authors provide a plethora of hypnosis routines for utilization
in a variety of situations. Readers can practice these routines
to become thoroughly familiar with the techniques in implementation. Hypnosis can play an important therapeutic
role; however, it depends upon the cooperation and receptiveness of the subject. This work explains the techniques
in simple English with ample examples to demonstrate the concepts fully. The book is a solid value for the price charged.
