Self-hypnosis can be a simple yet powerful tool for self-transformation. Through this meditation-like state, you can dismantle negative preconceptions, change your basic assumptions and beliefs, and give way to a more positive approach to life. In this comprehensive guide to making sense of the mysteries of your mind, research psychologist Adam Burke explores this lesser-known yet eminently practical method for self-improvement. SELF-HYPNOSIS DEMYSTIFIED shows you how to integrate self-hypnosis into your daily life using the one-minute method as well as other basic techniques for visioning, focusing, deepening, transforming, and concluding. Once you’ve mastered these quick and simple techniques, you’ll have a newly engaged outlook on life, with heightened control of your mind and your destiny.

Reader Reviews
As a practitioner of the Chinese internal arts, meditation, etc. this book really resonated with me. Too many books on this subject are either intellectual psycho-babble, new age "theories" or worse yet don't give enough guidance to deal with the real issues you may encounter. This is not a huge tome. It is small to medium sized book which is filled with practical guidance, written by someone who obviously has a good deal of experience and knowlege with issues of the mind (as applied to self-improvement). The tone of it is smart, but enjoyable to read, and I have been surprised several times to find some little tidbit which addresses an issue I'm experiencing at the time. There is another reviewer who seems upset that this book doesn't cover spirituality. In my opinion, this is rediculous and unfair. Once one has ACTUAL EXPERIENCE with the techniques, you can apply them to whatever you want! But if it's true spirituality you're after, wouldn't you rather seek guidance from an established tradition?
