Format:Paperback
There are some good things about this book: the advice about breathing, insight into the interplay of will and imagination (imagination wins hands-down), ready-made scripts for self-hypnosis, and it covers a lot of ground without being too long. But it's not that practical a guide and I found it difficult to apply what O'Briain is saying. It's clearly written, yet it's hard to grasp because it's not that well-structured. I am very used to self-study and 'alternative approaches' so was expecting to run with it. It takes about 50 pages to really get going - there's a lot of background about hypnotherapy (a bit waffly really), and then there's no simple one or two page summary of the steps required to hypnotise yourself and get started. That would have been fairly easy to do and I'm surprised the editor didn't suggest it since it claims to be a 'practical guide'. Of course time needs to be spent explaining what to do and how to do it, but there does need some careful thought given to providing readers with a simple set of instructions and reminders. Also,any author who quotes him/herself regularly at the start of chapters is, to my mind, a bit up themselves. I'd say the book was over-hyped. I was disappointed with it.

When I saw the cover of "Powerful Mind through Self-Hypnosis" I was immediately drawn to it. To put it simple, this book has changed every aspect of my being in a very positive way. At work, my friends keep telling me how great I look and at home I feel relaxed and happy all the time. I would never have thought that a book could have such a profound impact on my life and I thank the author from the heart.
Through using Cathal's simple and natural self-hypnotic techniques, I find self-hypnosis easy to use each day in all my activities. This book takes the mysticism out of hypnosis by getting you back to basic self-control, through breathing, suggestion, imagination, basically using the tools you already have but fail to use effectively. In other editions I've read on the same subject, authors have overcomplicated the simple process of hypnosis by adding to much 'magic' and not enough 'logic' to the equation. This is why it's perfect for the beginner as well as the professional. It makes proper use of the mind and body you have by helping you tap in to the power of the subconscious area of the mind, to put it simply.
The structure and layout of the book is also very useful for those who want to use it as a psychological guide, kind of an 'A to Z' of symptoms and how to help overcome them through self-transformation. For example, if you suffer from anxiety or depression, you can go straight to those areas and find solutions. For the professional, it's easy for them to get a basic understanding of everything to do with hypnosis and the mind, as well as incorporate the well written scripts provided for their own private therapy sessions.
O'Briain has also done very well to reinvigorate self-hypnosis as a pure and natural form of self-healing and I'm glad he took the initiative to show people that it's a phenomonen that has been around since the dawn of time, used for mind strengthening and not for mind control. It's as natural as breathing and O'Briain dedicates an entire chapter to the breath, which is central to his teachings and an integral part of the self-hypnotic process.
This book has the potential to change the minds of the masses. I hope it reaches a wide and varied audience because it's a book for everyone. My congratulations to the author on a wonderful book full of surprises and healing.

Cathal O'Briain's 'Powerful Mind through Self-Hypnosis' is the book I have been waiting for. Having bought many books on this subject I feel this is now my handbook for life. The language he uses makes it so easy to read, unlike other books of this genre. I've been putting into practice the simple breathing techniques, something I have never read about before, and I have found them very helpful with my every day life, increasing my confidence and helping me in social situations, as well as helping me to unwind at the end of the day. This book has something for everyone and is a must for anyone wanting a better quality of life.
