This book is essentially a script book for self-hypnosis. At 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 scipts for weight-loss, confidence, motivation, public speaking, lucid dreaming, better sex life and many others.
The book is marketed as using hypnosis while you're awake. This may seem to make it different from other hypnosis books, unless you understand that you are using hypnosis every time you use your imagination and get absorbed by your inner experience - and for that matter any time you read any book that transports you into another world, the world described in that book and you become oblivious to your environment to a certain degree, you are in hypnosis - much like you are in hypnosis when you are absorbed in the action of the movie you are watching on TV. The only difference is that with TV you get to watch the images, and while reading the book, you create them in your mind, according to your interpretation of the words.
You can use the scripts in this book either by reading them, but you can also record them on a tape and just relax and listen to them. You should use whatever method helps you to engage your imagination better and create a more vivid subjective experience.
This book was created for non-hypnotists - however even a professional hypnotist, particularly those who are new to hypnosis, may use this book as an additional resource - just as they would use any other script (patter) book.
Near the end of the book is a section on hypnotizing yourself while you write. This has brought to my mind another book "The Einstein Factor" and the method called "image streaming" which you may also experiment with; as well as mind-mapping, which is particularly useful for drawing the information out of your subconscious mind.
The next section, Suggestion Template, guides you through a process which will help you to create successful suggestions that will be customized to your personality, preferences and your specific outcome.
The book contains few additional sections with useful information on supercharging your affirmation and getting the best results out of your self-hypnosis session.

Full marks as unlike many other books it is written in such a way that you find yourself doing it. As knowledge on a subject does not necessary make a difference with regards to changing your ways of doing, thinking, feeling according to your intentions, the author presents his method in such a way that I found myself in "action impacts the drift"-mode. So I use the information and, oh, least I forget, it's fun to do. Plus: stays with you without having to read and study it all over again if you fancy picking up methodology any time later after not having used it. Try it, be suprised how you suprise yourself. Easy going with good impact!

If you are like me, you probably have had many preconceptions about hypnosis. In reality, we all access this state of consciousness frequently, for example, at a scary movie if you find yourself squirming in your seat while watching the movie you are probably in this state.
As you read this book, you realise that hypnosis really is the ability to use the power of your imagination, while minimising the interference of your conscious mind, to effect permanent and positive benefits in your mind and body, and to break free of those behaviors that do not serve you.
You are learning the skill of communicating with yourself on a deeper level.
This book is organised in a very easy to use manner. There are scripts for 35 different situations ranging from stress to procrastination, better sex, smoking, problem solving etc.
For example, if you were to use the rapid healing script, you read the induction which involves you going down in an elevator, and gradually feeling more and more relaxed till you get to the bottom, then if you wish you may use the deepening script to get into an even deeper state. Then you read out loud the script itself. I noticed that a cut I had, started healing much faster after I read this script. Then, as you practice it more and more, it gets easier to do and you can really feel the effects.
When I read the induction out loud, it worked very well. Then as I used the deepening script I went into the deepest state I believe I have ever consciously experienced. Amazing. There really is amazing power to this technique.
Naturally, you do need to practice this for a while before the changes become permanent. Can you imagine how great you would feel if you were to finally have mastery over your behavior and your emotions?
He also explains why affirmations often do not work. Affirmations can work well if they are done properly. If you do use them in conjuntion with the techniques in this book, then obviously they would be even more effective.
I also highly recommend EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique. Imagine letting go of issues such as stress, anger, sadness, anxiety, sadness, phobias, unforgiveness, by doing a simple acupressure technique which you can do in less than two minutes.
I think most people will find it useful, and I hope this was helpful.
