Once you get past the childish urge to imagine the hypnotist saying, "And where are they now, the little people of Stonehenge?" a frivolity based on Harrold's Nigel Tufnel-like accent and delivery (Spinal Tap fans, beware!), this CD really does work to take you into a positive mindset. The initially skeptical listener will have to suspend their disbelief at the effectiveness of the hypnotic techniques used, which rely on a combination of a soothing voice augmented by simple recording studio effects such as reverb and panning from left to right plus soft New Age music, but once one overcomes such hurdles and surrenders to the power of relaxation and suggestion, this really does pay off. I found myself feeling - and thinking - more positive after the very first listen, with repeat listenings only serving to reinforce this new frame of mind. Recommended.
