Format:Paperback
The simple step by step approach used in this book is the reason for its greatness. Tranceformations totally demystifies the process of hypnosis and it's application. When reading a "how to" book, people get the "how" to do something - this book also tells you why the techniques work so well. This allows for the reader to recognise that ALL LANGUAGE is hypnotic. It's just a matter of recognising patterns that exist and then using them to fit the situation. This book spells out those patterns - how and why they work, and gives plenty of examples to demonstrate and excercises to practice. After reading this book a few times I started to realise why the price remains high. Also, at the back there is a DERREN BROWN style mind reading trick to practice. A truly awsome book!

Format:Hardcover
Easy flowing style, non-technical language, natural and enjoyable, it is in my experience one of the finest start-ups available to introduce someone to the field of Ericksonian Hypnosis. John Grinder and Richard Bandler managed to put together a book that offers you first rate experiential learning from the reading, which is no easy task. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to enhance the effectiveness and impact of their communication. Buy 2- one to mark up and tear pages out of, and one to keep nice and clean! Bye for now!

Format:Paperback
I have read this book countless times. Second-hand it seems to command a premium up to ten times the cover price. That alone is a clue to the quality within. But mine ain't for sale - not at a hundred times the cover price.
This book IS a transcription of a seminar given by the authors. It works well because in writing the book they have paid attention to their own teaching and convey their material with skill and consummate art. Here you will learn not only how to emulate Ericksons hypnotic techniques but also to understand how and why they work. This added knowledge helps you learn to frame inductions that are appropriate and relevant to each context, and all the more powerful for being so. As you listen to the story unfold, the picture becomes ever clearer until you feel you knew it all along. Probably you did, and soon you will understand why.

Fantastic
Wouldn't it have been great to learn hypnosis from Bandler and Grinder when they were training together? Read more

Flawed, but still excellent
As already said, this is a transcript of a seminar, and not a very good transcript at that.
However, the fact is that it helps you be there, and that is more than enough. Read more
