By
David Barron and Danek Kaus
I can say that this is the ideal book for anyone who wants to learn how
to use hypnotic language to Win in everyday life....because I wrote it!
When you order your book from
amazon.com and email me your reciept I'll send you over $2000 of bonus
material.
Your book has changed my life and the way
I run my businesses. I recently
opened a new Real-Estate Brokerage. The biggest challenge is hiring the right type of agent. Utilizing
your book, I have been writing my
own scripts for hiring agents and dealing with objections and of course get rapport with everyone I get in
touch with. My interview-to-hiring
radio is at 100% right now, everyone that we want working for us - is working for us. I have
been into NLP and Ericksonian Hypnosis
for about 8 years now and your book was one of the most practical that I was able to immediately
implement into the planning stages
of my business. I look forward to growing my business and further
developing my own life using the information I learned.<

Before
I even
got
this
5-star book I was immediately impressed by the credentials of the
editors. James Price Dillard is a Prof. of Communications Arts and
Michael Pfau a Professor of Journalism and Mass Communications, both at
the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
1. Basic Issues

Theories of
Persuasion 3. Affect
and
Persuasion 4. Message
Features (this was my
favorite with a section on Language and Persuasion) 5. Contexts 6.
Persuasion
Campaigns 7. Media
If you get this book don't pick it
up
unless you want to dive deeply
into both theory and application of persuasion on every level. In
fact there is something in it for everybody. A graduate student in a
school of communication could launch a whole career with this handbook
as a starting point. In fact one reviewer said "
If you can
absorb
these chapter readings, no one in this field will be out ahead of you
for several years." and I agree!
I love this
book so
much I spent an entire
weekend memorizing each of the 48 Laws of Power!
The 48 Laws of Power is about just that:
POWER. This is a controversial book.
This book is a collection of stories and
parables from history and literature which demonstrate how each Law of
Power affected people in power all the way through history. It further
provides an interpretation of each Law and when it's best not to use
it. I highly recommend it to people fascinated with power and how to
acquire it 5 out of 5. To people interested in hypnosis and NLP, they
would take great interest in it 4 out of 5.
It's "How
to Persuade People Who Don't Want to be Persuaded: Get What You
Want-Every Time!" by Joel Bauer, Mark Levy and it uniquely makes
the proposition that one can use entertainment as a vehicle to
persuade.
This is highlighted by the fact that one of the authors, Joel Bauer, is
a stage magician and former carnival barker.
"How to Persuade People Who Don't Want to be Persuaded" tells how to
draw people in by appealing to their sence of curiosity and by
challenging them at the same time all while lowering their defences.
Pretty tricky stuff and most importantly they make it FUN!
Ideal for teachers, managers, salespeople and marketers are a great
audience for this book but there is a special place in the authors
heart for romantics, daters and singles looking to attract someone
(refeed to as Casanovas wanabees or Vamps-in-training by the authors
:-). In short the books goal is to show you how to persuade using the
skills of a professional pitchman without having to become a
professional entertainer.
by
R. G. Siu
This is a Great follow-up book for the 48
Laws of POWER. This book is a realistic description
of the
true nature of personal
power as practiced and fought for in the competitive world of leaders,
managers, and social activists. It is also a guide to influencing and
managing organizations and people. The book analyzes the fundamental
elements of effective power, strategic approaches for maximizing it,
power tactics and techniques, essential public relations and
ceremonies, necessary internal controls, ethical considerations, and
relevant actions of those in the game of power.
This
book belongs on your bookshelf if
you
want to understand the common social techniques and tricks are used on
yourself and countless others. Read the examples given in this book to
understand
how it applies to you. I found this book fascinating reading and I
highly recommend this book!!!
Gut Impact teaches
you how
to bypass others' reasons, so that you can speak straight to their
needs and desires. In reading Gut Impact, you will learn how to use an
easy, efficient, covert, conversational form of hypnotic command. You
will also learn to recognize and motivate specific personality types.
As a result, your words will have more impact on those around you than
ever before. In reading Gut Impact, you'll learn to recognize others'
motivations, soothe their feelings, leverage their existing beliefs,
smoothly impress new ideas, and inspire new desires--your words will
smoothly and pleasurably impress on their thoughts, as smoothly as your
thumb imprints the warm wax of a melting candle. You will learn to spot
their needs. You will learn to open their hearts. You will learn to
guide and drive their feelings. You will learn just how easy and
powerful and pleasurable hypnotic communication truly is, because you
have ordered Gut Impact...and they will love you for it.
Based on psychological principles, this
book
is less about manipulation and more about observing and influencing
people (including yourself) and learning how to take control of
situations. Most of Lieberman's techniques are straightforward,
user-friendly, and practical. You'll learn simple ways to make a
fantastic first impression, get people to return your phone calls, and
stop a rumor before it ruins you. You don't even have to read the text
to benefit. To help you get the upper hand quickly, strategies are
reviewed at the end of each chapter. While some suggestions are obvious
(smile and make eye contact), the five sections and 40 chapters contain
many gems that can help improve your life.
Good
communication skills help create
positive
interactions with others, says Puhn: "Words instantly create resentment
and conflict or support and cooperation," as the author, a lawyer and
mediator, has learned from experience. This helpful book encapsulates
these simple yet timeless ideas into 35 pairs of "Do" and "Don't"
rules, useful in work and in life. A straightforward explanation of the
rule - e.g., "avoid superficial offers"; "show you care"; "appreciate
criticism" - is followed by illustrative tales of communication gone
wrong or exemplars of effective ways to apply the rule. While the
structure of the chapters is tedious and predictable, the text flows
easily. Puhn clearly identifies "blunders" and "wonders" of
communication, which will help those who want to use the book as a
reference rather than read it straight through. In truth, several of
the guidelines she offers are either common sense or just good manners
- e.g., "hold your tongue"; "don't take sides" - but many readers will
appreciate this refresher course in how to be polite without being a
doormat. For anyone needing a reminder of some essential communication
guidelines, this volume is essential.
I personally find this book very scary! You can quickly see how hard it
is to hide a secret in a police interrogation because the author teaches police this interrogation process!
When liars are being accused of something, they'll stay calm because
they're working on their rebuttal; this is why detectives were
suspicious of O.J. Simpson when he didn't express outrage when accused
of murdering his ex-wife and Ronald Goldman. Never Be Lied to Again
is bursting with tested tips like this for quickly determining when
you're being boondoggled. Body language, facial expressions, sentence
structure, and word choice can all reveal when someone is lying, says
psychologist David J. Lieberman, and he includes 46 of these "clues to
deception" to help you, including tricks for framing questions without
putting others on the defense. Once you use your newly honed "human lie
detector" skills to figure out if you're being lied to, you can then
dig for the truth using the specific, influential words and body
postures that Lieberman suggests. Written with flair and humor, Never
Be Lied to Again is designed to help you get the upper hand in any
situation, whether you're trying to figure out if your spouse is
cheating on you or if you suspect your coworkers are cooking the books.
Women, much more so
than
men, can be emotionally touched and sexually aroused by language.
"Sexual Key: How to Attract and Arouse a Woman in Minutes, using Words
Alone" explains the simple and easy step-by-step process of using
language to bond with with women in the course of a conversation.
It details differences between the ways men and women respond to
language, interpret events, and experience emotions--then shows how
these differences can be used to easily and immediately produce a
hypnotically powerful impact with the women you choose to include in
your life. Whether you want to make having amorous adventures even
easier and more fun or you want to lead your present partner to levels
of fulfillment no other man ever has ever shown her, Sexual Key will
help you unlock a world of possibilities.

workable, and totally accessible to the non-specialist general reader.
L.
Michael
Hall has revised and
substantially expanded his classic, The Secrets of Magic. On the face
of it this book is about how to communicate more effectively but it is
much more than that. In its explanation and development of the
Meta-model, which lies at the heart of communication excellence in NLP,
Dr Hall demonstrates how your life can be dramatically enriched by
having complete control in how you relate and interpret what you are
communicating to others.In a clear and logical manner the author
examines: how language affects the mind-body system; how language can
perform magic-like feats in the nervous and immune systems, and how the
magic can bless, empower and enable us to take charge of running our
own brains.

-
An excellent book with ideas on negotiating including sample
linguistic phrases to use to open up the
other person's mind. They discuss: * Selective Perception and Selective
Recall * Qualifiers * Amplifiers * Softners * Minimizers *
Awareness Directors * Authority Builders * Imagination Triggers *
Options Generators * Embedded Commands * Temporal Controllers * Trigger
Phrases
* Emotive Directors * Responsibility Redirectors * Claiming To Know *
Ingratiators * Presuppositions * Comparatives * Unspecified Attribution
* And Linkages * Credibility Helpers * more That's
all just in ONE chapter. The book is chock full of a LOT more.
There's a ton of information in this little book and I highly recommend
you get it, read it and absorb.
I
recently got
the book "NLP at Work:
The Difference That Makes a Difference in Business"by Sue Knight and could not put it down.
This *is* a 5-Star book on NLP/Persuasion/Self-Improvement if there
ever was one. It is THICK with
230 pages that puts the application of NLP into an
easy to understand format.
"NLP at Work"
is an exceptional
read for the beginning student of NLP and for someone like me who's
been at it a decade I found it a VERY refreshing review. As it dived
into details of influence, persuasion and self-improvement I
began to quickly see where anyone could apply these skills at work based
one Knights concise description of the model of the mind and language.
Trance-Formations
- By John Grinder and Richard
Bandler. This was one of the first books I ever read
when I started
to take serious interest in hypnosis and NLP. It covers the Milton
language model and various hypnotic techniques that the founders of NLP
discovered in studying Milton Erickson. I highly recommend this book
for anyone who is serious about studying hypnosis.
This is the book that translates
Meta-States into everyday language --- into the language of frames (as
in frame of reference, frame of mind) and games. When you think
of all of our actions and interactions as "games"--- the games we play
at work, home, with our health, in exercise, in eating, in creating
wealth, etc. then its obvious that somewhere in your mind there are
Rules for those Games--- your frames. Change those frames, and the game
changes. Invent new frames and new games are possible.
This book covers one of the most
important skill in NLP to have, that is how to establish rapport. It's
easy to read and surprisingly, doesn't require a great deal of skill or
knowledge to do the exercises and gain understanding unlike many other
NLP books. I highly recommend this book.
This is an Excellent book that cover the
4 archetypes, or in NLP terminology Satire Temperament Sorts and the
various needs of each. Although this book is NOT a "NLP" book,
understanding these characteristics will help you get further along
with your communication with people.
If
you want to
know EVERYTHING about
Ericksonian Hypnosis this is the one you should invest in.
Milton H. Erickson, M.D.: Complete Works is the most comprehensive
collection of Erickson's work currently available. The collection
includes articles published by Erickson across five decades
(1927-1977). Using this CD ROM database the reader can search more than
2600 pages of text for a single word or a phrase. Navigation between
the articles also is facilitated by two indices, one listing the
articles by date and another listing the articles in alphabetical
order.
Complete
Works
1.0 contains multimedia
components: read the transcript see photographs of Erickson and listen
to the sound of his voice as he describes the most essential aspects of
hypnotic induction. To provide an understanding of the context in which
these articles where written, included are a chronology of Erickson's
professional accomplishments and a biographical sketch written by Jay
Haley.
Hypnotherapy
by Dave Elman
This is an all time classic and must for any would be or even wannabe
Hypnotherapist. Dave Elman is famed for teaching hypnosis to doctors
and dentists during his illustrious career. He show how the science and
art of traditional hypnosis can be combined with warm hearted
compassion. Yes! Five Stars.
This
book is essentially a script book for self-hypnosis. As you might
expect the beginning of the book is a general induction you can use to
induce yourself into a trance state, followed by a selection
of 35 scripts for dealing with common issues and helping you to improve
your life. You'll find scripts for weight-loss, confidence, motivation,
public speaking, lucid dreaming, better sex life and many others.
The emphasis of this book on using
hypnosis while you're awake. This is something I especially like
because most people tend to have in their mind that
hypnosis as the "Deeeep, deeeep Sleep!" type of phenomenon. But
the truth is "trance" is a natural state we all go into every day
whether our eyes are open or closed.
"Instant
Self-Hypnosis" is
different from other books on self hypnosis in that it doesn't require
much time or effort before you begin to apply it.
This book is the epitome of
neo-Ericksonian thought. It provides a neo-Ericksonian orientation on
how to use the scripts listed. each script is metaphoric and
designed for specific outcomes are written in the pacing of how
Milton Erickson would have done it. I recommend it.
This is an excellent book about hypnosis
and all the things you can do with it. It's also the story of Paul
McKenna and how he became a hypnotist. I highly recommend this
entertaining and informative book.
This very
thick book is packed full of
hypnotic scripts which covers how to treat anorexia and weight control
to pain control. It explains the concepts and theories behind creating
effective scripts and metaphors. This book is NOT for beginners,
however I highly recommend this book for serious students of
hypnosis.
This is an
excellent book on Clinical
Ericksonian Hypnosis. Definitely not for the beginner, it covers
subject areas from misconceptions of
hypnosis, hypnotic phenomena to various scripts for trance work. I
highly recommend this book for serious students of hypnosis.
This
book shows
you how to do image
streaming and it's various applications that can tremendously increase
your creativity and learning ability. I highly recommend this book for
those serious about learning.
Accelerated
Learning into the 21st
Century
contains a simple but proven plan that delivers the one key skill that
every working person, every parent and student must master, and every
teacher should teach: it's learning how to learn. The theory of eight
multiple intelligences (linguistic, logical-mathematical,
visual-spatial, kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal,
and naturalist) developed by Howard Gardner at Harvard University
provides a foundation for the six-step MASTER-Mind system to facilitate
learning (an acronym for Mind, Acquire, Search, Trigger, Exhibit, and
Review), and is enhanced by the latest findings on the value of emotion
and memory on the process of learning.
Past
Life
CAUTION:
SOUL MATE AHEAD
by Janet Cunningham, PhD, and Michael Ranucci
Cunningham and Ranucci have put together a fascinating and
sensitive study of the
true
nature of
our relationships with the
other souls in this world. With a rich collection of case histories and
anecdotal stories, as well as poetry which carries emotions which are
beyond simple prose, these authors have created a very readable book.
More than enjoyable in its own
right,
this book
gives a description of the formation of transcendental relationships
which endure for
ages, spanning many lifetimes.
