More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
More than thirty years ago, Richard Bandler set out to discover how some therapists effected startling change with their clients, while others argued about theories while their patients waited in vain for help. Now widely regarded as the world's greatest hypnotist and one of the most brilliant minds in the field of personal change, Richard Bandler created patterns that became the bedrock of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), arguably one of the most profoundly effective approaches for self-improvement. In Richard Bandler's Guide to Trance-formation, he returns to his roots: hypnotic phenomena, trancework, and altered states to provide a highly compelling and effective prescription for quick and lasting personal change. According to Bandler is at the very foundation of human experience. People are not simply in or out of trance, but are constantly moving from one trance to another. We have our work trances, our relationship trances, and our parenting trances. Some of these states are useful and appropriate; others are not. With his signature wit and contrarian approach to therapy, Bandler shows how anyone can reset and reprogram their problem behaviors to reach desired alternatives with lasting and life-altering results. With intriguing case studies, client dialogues, and more than thirty exercises, Richard Bandler's Guide to Trance-formation, is an engaging, read for anyone, whether they are new to NLP, want to further their NLP training, or simply want to make a positive difference in their own lives.

I have to admit I am very impressed with Richard Bandler's latest books, both of which are totally different.
This book is clearly geared at people who already have experience with trance or are hypnotists, and is more detailed. If you're like me, you will find the book to be very free flowing, and an easier read than his earliest works. As you might expect, his trance work has become even more and more refined, there is a grace and fluidity about what he does.
This is apparent in the client session trance scripts included at the back. The embedded commands are italicised. If you don't already know much about Milton Model and Meta Model patterns, you will find resource files at the end, which will enable you to get up to speed very quickly.
My favorite line from the book is: 'So you only torture youself in your spare time?' spoken with typical irreverence.
I particularly like the stealing from a genius exercise. Its similar to something I already do.
Another one, you may find interesting is The Magic of False Memories.
One particular item I saw him do on a clip from Paul McKenna's tv show.
He was demonstrating -spinning feelings. That process is described in - Get the Life you want.
If you're unsure about which book to get, they are both excellent, and highly recommended.
I hope you find this review helpful.

I'd now recommend [ASIN:0757307779 Richard Bandler's Guide to Trance-Formation: How to Harness the Power of Hypnosis to Ignite Effortless and Lasting Change]]as a suggested 'must read' book for anyone who is genuinely interested in NLP and hypnosis. From the beginner to the most experienced. It's practical and it's deeply human. And this brings NLP up to date from the incredibly useful Milton and Meta models to the latest approaches.

This has to be one of my 3 favourite books for NLP. As a Society of NLP Trainer, I've read all of Richard Bandler's books. This has to be my favourite... it's like you've got Dr Bandler there, talking through his techniques, in a conversational, approachable and incredibly user-friendly way.
Richard Bandler's Guide to Trance-Formation: How to Harness the Power of Hypnosis to Ignite Effortless and Lasting Change
As the title suggests, this book concentrates primarily on using hypnosis as a tool within NLP. If you want a very easy to use overview on NLP techniques, I recommend Dr Bandler's book "Get the Life You Want".
Get the Life You Want
My third favourite NLP book is "The Rainbow Machine", by Andrew T. Austin. Having met and worked alongside Andy, I believe he is one of the most talented change workers out there today... and this book provides an insight into his mind and methodology. Incredibly useful and laugh out loud funny... if you only buy one book, make it this one.
