Wolinsky states this book was written at the level of non-therapists. Much like "Trances People Live" Wolinksky describes hypnotic trances we create as children that unconsciously influence us throughout our lives. Wolinsky describes the trances of: age regression, futurizing, disconnecting, blocking out, illusioning, confusion, spiritualizing, amnesia, and trance dreaming. He gives strategies for uncovering and diffusing these trances.

This book is one of the best book I have ever read...You will become aware of all the forces that holds you back in life. You will begin to free yourself from yourself and stop blaming others for your failuers...great book.

I have to say this book is amazing. It truly explains what happened to us down here on planet earth. How we lose ourselves and how a false self (dark side of the inner child) develops to run our lives to keep us safe but in the end keeps us from truly living. Thanks so much for a great book. I have bought copies for friends of mine.

Wolinsky is a gifted writer, and when a gifted writer such as he, writes about life changing ideas and concepts....you might want to add it to your library! Want to discover more about living from your full potential? Then GET IT!

This is not Wolinsky's best effort.

First, it needs serious editing.

Second, this is just a re-packaging of the current pop psychology thinking. Wolinsky adds to the confusion by adding another component. Instead of YOU acting out on unconscious urges, Wolinsky introduces 'Inner Child' and 'Hypnosis'... so NOW the Inner Child HYPNOTIZES you into acting out on unconscious urges.

What's his answer? The same as the old psycho-analytic approach: awareness. When you can become CONSCIOUSLY aware of the processes and the relationships then *poof* they are resolved!

I was disappointed that this "Quantum Psychology" expert put so little thought or effort into this book. If you have any education in the area of psychology, this is a waste of your time.
