A misleading title for a sometimes amazing, sometimes peculiar, often hard to follow book
16 Feb 2010
Format:Paperback
I have very mixed feelings about this book and the accompanying DVD.
I should say that I have found all of Paul McKenna's books extremely helpful and have been enormously impressed by professional clinical hypnotherapy, which has helped me manage PTSD and related wide-ranging phobic anxiety far more effectively than prescription medication. I have also read Richard Bandler's 'Get the Life You Want' which I found to be both fascinating reading and useful in many practical ways.
I am still hopeful of being able to cure my PTSD completely and am always open to new and more advanced self-hypnosis and NLP techniques. So I came to this already receptive.
Unfortunately, this book is a fairly significant level of difficulty beyond the McKenna books and the earlier Bandler book, and I feel the title - which is typical of "help yourself" language with its 'Make Your Life Great' claim - is really quite misleading. The book is less about helping yourself and more about working on others (for example, the section called 'Patterns of Induction' is about how to induce hynotic trance using people's own "sub-modalities", whilst Section 4 is entitled 'Client Sessions'). This is all quite exciting I guess, particularly if you're training to become an NLP therapist or counsellor, and I did learn a lot, but it all requires a lot of time and patience to work through.
It's certainly very cynical to market this as a self-help text when there is a lot of information to absorb, some of which is highly abstract, and very little of which is actually directed at the end-user wanting to benefit from "trance-formation".
I found the enclosed DVD entertaining and amusing, but that was all. It's really just like a pub hypnosis show with tamer antics. I must also admit to being a little grossed out by Richard Bandler himself, who letches all over his female clients and looks like an ageing druggie hippie biker - leather jacket, check, greasy rat's tail hair, check, strange jewellery, check, dirty fingernails, check. He's clearly been repackaged on the covers of his recent books to be more attractive to a wider range of readers, just as this title has.
Overall, I'm glad I read this book, but it's a fairly specialised text and therefore will have very limited appeal; I wouldn't recommend it to anyone in my own position, but I can see it being a very useful text for those wanting to make NLP or hypnotherapy a career. As a hypnotherapy patient, however, I'd say Bandler should absolutely not be your role model!

I am a Hypnotherapist and I have found this book to be one of the best.
It is for people who are working in the field all ready more than for the self help market. That is true but this book has helped me to cure clients in one session rather than a number of them.
Well worth it in fact I have bought three copies for my friends as Christmas presents
Defiantly one of the best Books

The book is very good for what it is, BUT it is NOT a self-help book as it claims to be. It is full of interesting information, but does not give instructions that could be classed as 'Self-Help'. As with many of this type of books, it gives some information and then advises you to go see a professional, in this case, hypnotherapist. I think many people would buy this book because they want to learn some tools for helping themselves, not being told to see someone else.
I bought the book as a Therapist interested in other people's views and ideas, and did get a lot from it, hence the three stars, but if you are looking for something that will help you yourself and maybe 'make your life' great, I'd look elsewhere.

Disappointing
Make your life great the the title exclaims, personally I was none the wiser by the end. The DVD was interesting but found I had more questions than answers.
