Book Description

January 9, 2006
Covert Hypnosis is the most subtle Influence. It doesn't resemble the sleeping client "deep in trance."

It is the utilization of nonconscious techniques and strategies to change the perception and behavior of others in a completely unconscious way.

The optimal applications for covert hypnosis are in the fields of selling, advertising, marketing, relationships and of course, therapy.

This 100,000 word manual includes truly up to the minute scientific breakthroughs in the area of unconscious influence.

For the simplicity of the reader the book is written with examples pertaining to either therapy or selling situations but of course the approaches discussed herein would apply equally as well to counseling, teaching, training, and other relationship and group situations.

Kevin Hogan has shared this material with companies that have paid $25,000 or more per day. He shared this information with the government of Poland to help construct strategies to fight the spread of HIV/AIDS. Most of this information has never been put in print before. Now, instead of paying $25,000 per day to have this information, you receive it in this dense manual for less than $100. A lifetime accumulation of research and practice are now available for your success building and relationship enhancement!

Some people work readily with cognitive behavioral therapy. Some people are happy to try hypnosis. And some people have the troubles they have because they work very hard to hang onto the psychological mindsets that bring them about. Covert hypnosis has many good ideas for using language to heighten suggestibility and covertly implant suggestions that would not be accepted if presented overtly. On the whole, this looks like a method of turning a conversation into a long-form induction, except that there isn't an explicitly denoted conversion to hypnosis.

I am a certified hypnotist, but I'm a customer service agent by trade. I purchased this manual after reading the author's Psychology of Persuasion. I had hoped this would offer a more in-depth look at the communication strategies discussed in that book, and have not found this manual as helpful in that regard. If you are a therapist or work with people in other settings where wide-ranging, extended conversation is a given, this manual offers lots of good suggestions for guiding the conversation, all the way to planting suggestions for those resistant to change in a therapeutic setting. But if you're in sales, customer service or another profession where shorter interactions are the rule, I'd recommend the Psychology of Persuasion instead.

Maybe this book does help becuase I was totally taken in by the marketing hype describing the book.

First, this book has quite a lot of the shortcomings of many self-published books -- rampant typos, grammatical errors and unverifiable testamonials followed by unsubstantiated anecdotes sprinkled with factual errors.

Second, it's regurgitated, dumbed down NLP for the masses.

Third, the information is dated although presented as "new" and "cutting edge".

There are many other books on NLP and body language that are a lot more helpful. Don't buy this book, especially at its inflated price. That's part of the ploy. If it costs so much it must have the "good stuff" in it, right? Wrong!

I'm just very disappointed to be told that I need to lose weight, grow taller and dress for success to get my subliminal message across to make the sale.

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.
