This book should have been titled everything you wanted to know about hypnosis and more.

Both professionals and non professionals will find this book helpful.

The material that was presented fully explains each step of the hypnosis process in an orderly and detailed manner. Several chapters build on the information which was provided in previous chapters.

If you have a fear of hypnosis this book will relieve your fears. It offers the reader detailed information on the process, how it works and what to expect.

Dr. Temes provides the reader with a wealth of information on the subject of hypnosis. She shares her years of private practice to educate the readers in the hypnosis process and how through hypnosis she was able to help her clients.

Chapters discuss reasons people choose or should choose to use hypnosis to assist them with health problems, to break habits such as smoking or drinking and to improve their lifestyle. Information is given to enable the readers to hypnotize themselves.

I found this book to be easy to read informative, and in parts funny.

This book is more than a book on covert hypnosis. Master the skills in this book to be an elegant communicator, have a greater, more thorough understanding of persuasion techniques and gain the upper hand in negotiations.
This book is easy to read, easy to understand and follow. As someone who has worked in the hypnosis field for a number of years now, this is THE book on covert hypnosis.
Whatever field you work in, you will benefit from this book. I have followed Kevin Hogans work for a number of years and this book delivers his usual brilliant high standard and is packed with information. Very enjoyable.

Want to IMPROVE Your Life? Be better at your Job? Go deeper in to Kevin Hogans work after reading some of his other books (like Pyschology of Persuasion)? Then this is the logical next step for you….unless you are lucky enough to attend one of his seminars in person! This is the next best thing!!! Because his work is transformational! I wasn’t even aware of all the changes taking place in my life until other people started commenting on them…people have even told me that I LOOK different (as in younger and more vibrant), but I AM aware that I am making more money and I am happier!! And it began about two years ago when I started reading and applying Kevin Hogan’s work….and Covert Hypnosis is the latest. Read it only if you, too are ready to make life changing leaps forward!!! Ahd then as you apply it, watch for the inevitable changes to occur around you!! You will be glad you did. Don’t thank me, thank Kevin.

A Dream of Undying Fame: How Freud Betrayed His Mentor and Invented Psychoanalysis

Dr. Breger’s fine new book ‘A Dream of Undying Fame: Freud’s Betrayal of his Mentor and Discovery of Psychoanalysis’ is a wonderful compliment to his earlier definitive biography on Freud, ‘Darkness in the Midst of Vision’. Within a brief 100 plus pages, amazingly, and with a deliciously engaging and suspenseful style, Dr. Breger provides us with a step-by-step prelude to some of the most important discoveries in the history of Psychoanalysis.

Breuer and Freud were onto something: “Hysterical patients suffer mainly from reminiscences,” they wrote. Theories of the time emphasized that you could release the tension or energy left over from past pain, or that you could even wipe away the pain by altering memories through hypnosis. Does something still trouble you? Under hypnosis, we can change your memories!

The book is a stunning accomplishment, particularly given its short format. If you have never read about Freud before, this is the perfect work of introduction to him. If you know Freud and his works well, you will come away from this book with new insights into the nature and scope of both his genius and his limitations.
