Summary: An Explanation can't get better than this
Review: There is not a better book on the market to explain what hypnotism is or isn't. This small and powerful book will give you the ammunition to successfully explain hypnosis to a layman/client and allay all of their fears that hypnosis is going to put them into Hollywood's version of Trance where they become mindless zombies at your beck and call. I have literally read dozens of hypnosis books. This is the first book to entirely change my perspective. The author has done a phenomenal job explaining how all learning is hypnosis ... or ... heh heh ... maybe there is NO SUCH thing as HYPNOSIS after all!

Summary: Get this book!
Review: This book should definitely be on your reading list, and you may want to read it several times.
Here's one more story from this books:
Several years ago while doing research on hypnosis, a professor of psychology induced a somnambulistic trance in a subject. The subject was capable of the most profound hypnotic phenomenon, including post-hypnotic amnesia. The thrust of this research was to test the theory that upon carrying out post hypnotic suggestion, the subject would re-enter the hypnotic state.
While in this somnambulistic state, the subject was told that when a clock chimed 10:00 p.m. at that evening's faculty party, she would remove one of her shoes; place it on the dining room table and put roses into the shoe. Further, it was suggested that she would have no memory of the suggestion; it would appear to be her own idea, and she would fee compelled to finish her task.
A very interesting thing happened on the way to the forum. While she was carrying out the hypnotic suggestion, the professor asked her what she was doing. She replied that her husband had given her a beautiful crystal vase that looked just like her shoe and she had never known what to do with it. She went on to state that it had suddenly dawned on her how to arrange flowers in the vase and she had to try it in her shoe before she forgot.
While her explanation appears absurd, she acted as if she believed she was telling the truth. As the professor tried to explain to her how ridiculous her story was, she became anxious, agitated and very defensive. The experiment was terminated due to her extreme discomfort.
