Review

Self-improvement book by the world famous hypnotist and guru to the stars (Robbie Williams, Ronan Keating, Daryl Hannah). It's all in the mind, apparently, and all you need to do is change how you think to lead a better life. Think better, live better, is the simple message: patient, heal thyself. And results are attainable in a week. Sceptics groan at this sort of thing but the originality of McKenna lies less in the insights than in the methods. The insights are banal, but the methods clearly work, or at least they have worked for a great many athletes and senior business managers where a positive mind-set is a necessity in daily life. There are lots of other books like this, but McKenna is the leading brand and he is a brilliant self-publicist as well as self-improver. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Change Your Life in Seven Days, September 26, 2006

This review is from: Change Your Life in Seven Days (Paperback)

I have just read the two very different reviews currntly listed, and felt compelled to weigh in on the subject. But first a joke - How many psychiatrists does it take to change a lightbulb? Only one, but the lightbulb has got to want to change!

I came to this book and CD 9 months ago, having searched pretty much every source possible for help in balancing my life. I was determined to find an answer, and for me it found through Paul McKenna's book and CD. Five years of frustration was removed in one week - to my absolute and genuine amazement. I was skeptical to say the least, and even after my first week I was constantly checking in with myself to see how long the "cure" was last before I returned to my original (and unwanted) frame of mind.

It is coming up to a year now, and I am finally starting to believe in the power of hypnosis - if you want to change. I mean, why not? If you have created difficulties in your own mind, then surely you have the power to replace them with your own new ideas.

For me the bottom line is this - you get what you expect!

5.0 out of 5 stars Time To Re-Program Your Mind...., August 21, 2005

By 

Sun Tzu (Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Change Your Life in Seven Days: The World's Leading Hypnotist Shows You How (Hardcover)

I have the UK version of this book and I was originally attracted to it by the fact that it had a free mind-programming CD with it - I believe the US version has the same mind-programming session for download.

Anyway, I was absolutely fascinated with the prospect of having my mind programmed or being hypnotised.

So I left work early on a Friday, went to the bookstore and snapped up the book.

Well, I think the book is excellent.

Let's face it - the shelves are awash with books that profess to make your life better, but this one is very simple to follow and effective.

It is basically a neuro-linguistic programming book, although it never even goes near mentioning NLP or trying to explain it.

In essence, the author has taken the useful bits of all kinds of self-help and put it into one volume, designed to be read over a seven day period.

You are also meant to listen to the mind programming recording twice a day.

I found it helpful, relaxing and effective.

It also taught me techniques to change my state, such as the "confidence switch" - very useful to induce any state that you want with literally the click or at least touch of your fingers.

I think this book more than holds it's own next to the work of Tony Robbins any day of the week - and don't get me wrong - I like TR, but this is just so nice and straightforward.

The only thing I'd take slight issue with is the title.

You can start to change your life within the said seven days, but you'll want to keep using the featured techniques way beyond that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can a Stage Hypnotist Actually Change Lives?, June 14, 2005

This review is from: Change Your Life in Seven Days: The World's Leading Hypnotist Shows You How (Hardcover)

A book from a stage hypnotist? I assumed it would be shallow and vague. I wasn't expecting much.

I changed my mind.

The book approaches life changes from a scientific (NLP) point of view -- the techniques presented are valid and rest on a sound theoretical foundation. Not at all what I expected from an entertainer and celebrity.

Along with the book comes a gem of a recording (download from the Internet ) -- far and away the best hypnosis recording I've ever, ever heard.

Will the book and its accompanying hypnotic session change lives? Taken seriously, the tools McKenna provides can't help but change lives.

If you're looking for serious help in creating serious changes in your life, look no further. Get the book today, use it, enjoy what happens next!

Five stars!
