Book Review

We've certainly come a long way. Or have we? Ever wonder what basic tenants of hypnosis are the same as they were a century ago? Can you spot hypnosis disguised as other "miracle modalities" from the nineteenth century? Are you able to discuss the development of hypnosis through the decades, what they had plain "wrong" back when, and why the modern shifts in models and techniques are more effective?

If these kinds of questions have ever crossed your mind, and if you have a few minutes until your next client appointment, you might want to check out all of the free ebooks on Hypnosis available on Google Books. You can read them on your desktop, laptop, and now also on your iPad or phone using the Google Books app.

Explore centuries of hypnosis literature, discover where some of the most persistent (and annoying) myths about hypnosis originated, and brush up on your fodder for sparkling party conversations by browsing scores of books dating from the early 1800's through the 1970's. Newer titles are available for purchase as ebooks, too.

I'm always on the lookout for good resources for NLP, and these are the best I've seen so far:

The User's Manual for the Brain (Vol 1)

User's Manual for the Brain, Vol. II: Mastering Systemic NLP

With these books on my shelf, I don't really need any other basic NLP books. They are a comprehensive summary and reference for the same NLP concepts, methods and techniques that you cover in your training classes. I like the way they are laid out and the information in them is excellent.
