Summary: Are you kidding me
Review: After reading this book, I found it necessary to obliterate myself with Tequila to forget I ever read it.

Summary: Not the best of choices
Review: Compares unfavorably to other books in this genre. There is the inevitable commercial, in every chapter, to visit the author's web site. There is considerable repetition. Almost leads the reader to believe there was a maximum amount of difficulty finding text to fill the (required?) pages. I don't believe the book was proof read, there are so many errors in spelling, sentence structure etc. I purchased the book relying on past reviews and, frankly, I will not make that mistake again.

Summary: Are you kidding me
Review: I was very excited to receive this book and had been looking forward to it's arrival. Many of the reviews were very positive, and I considered the "advertisement" adage as just a fluke (sorry now that I didn't head the warning). As I began reading this I was pleasantly surprised to find it an easy read even though it seemed to be published in a textbook/teachers guide format (spiral bound publication). The information was accurate and practical. With that said let me explain what did NOT appeal to me. I found that any real substance in this book could have very easily fit in a small pocket book of less than 30 pages. The information was practical and easy to understand but nothing unique and would not be remarkably enlightening to anyone who has read even "beginners" books on the subject. The exercises were logical and truly the only real information, I felt, useful. The "scripts" were very average and similar ones that can be obtained on many free web sources. But what really troubled me about this book was this: As I began reading, the author repeatedly gives his web address, mentioning what a great information source it was (no exaggeration when I say about every third page, for the first section of the book). Even stating; "if you do not have Internet access, I would strongly recommend that you get access." My initial thought was `how nice I can read the book and refer to the site for updates and additional information'. Later, when I ventured to the site I was greatly disappointed. Realizing it was nothing more than a very unprofessional web-site only being utilized for Advertisement to promote his E-books and training's. No Real information at all. There was nothing of substance, only a few descriptions and hints "sample chapters" about his books. The entire concept left me with a negative perception of this author. Feeling his real objective
had little to nothing to do with educating and most or ALL to do with MAKING MORE MONEY!!! Now if truly intend to purchase this book for the sparse information it carries, I feel we can all learn from several sources. It is practical, and easy to understand, but be prepared to be repeatedly reminded of his true intent with the all to obvious advertising threw out the book. My personal recommendation would be that you not waist your time or money and find a better self-hypnosis source. There are several better ones out there, along with some great information on the web if your willing to do a little searching.
Good luck on your ventures.

Summary: Poor marketing and evern worse product/book
Review: It's more than clear that Wayne F. Perkins planted the first two reviews of his book here on Amazon.com.
Dishonest merchant, for money-will-do-anything con man.
This book will not teach you much. Spend your money wisely.

Waynes' step by step guide teaches the beginner the understanding of visualization techniques and the eyes open and closed techniques. I use this book frequently in my own practice. Wayne thank you.

Summary: Readers can access hypnosis and help themselves. TC. England
Review: Wayne Perkins sets out to enable two things with his book; to show the student how to access hypnosis and the best strategies for utilizing its benefits. The book is reasonably light on theory (did I hear a sigh of relief?) but complete with practical tuition and personal examples. The author shares his experience with the reader but it doesn't end there because technologies are employed to ensure the student has an interactive and up to the minute involvement in the learning process. Through a special site on the Internet the reader can get updates to the text, share comments with other enthusiasts and ask questions of the author himself. This is a very practical workbook which actively encourages a commitment from the reader and so is far less likely to end up languishing on the shelf!
