This book is worth buying for the CD alone, it's brilliant, a self help CD that really works. His voice is amazing, listening to the CD is almost addictive as it's so effective. The book is clear, well written and helpful. Highly recommended.

I won't go into detail about the content of this book because it was a good read but nothing earth shattering. What has CHANGED MY LIFE is the CD that's included with the book.

After going through a long and discouraging job search, I felt pretty beat up. Listening to this CD has given me back my sense of "self" and propelled me to go back to school, finish my degree, and teach (which is what I wanted to do 30 years ago). I have also gained confidence that set me on a path to once again start doing some of the things I used to love but lost along the way. Thank you Paul McKenna.

Pay no attention to the vitriol of the reviewer below. McKenna won his court case against claims that he knowingly bought his doctorate from a disreputable university. He also won a previous case brought against him. And if you have Sky TV, he is on TV over the last year with shows about confidence, fat loss etc. His reputation in the UK is pretty good.

I enjoyed this. I have read a few confidence enhancing books this year and really did enjoy this one. I liked the style which was simple and the content was very useful and easy to apply.
Lots of it is common sense.

people shouldn't go around bad mouthing things they haven't tried. Even if McKenna's PhD isn't legit, it doesn't mean he can't use knowledge on the psyche to help people. While I haven't read this book, I have audio recordings McKenna's done and they have done phenomenal things for me. Don't let some ignorant prick dissuade you from taking a look at this book and what it may do for you.

I listen to this CD everyday when I take my 20 minute power-naps. I feel like I got 2 hours of sleep after this hypnotic trance. This is one of the simplest and fastest books I have come across that create instant results in people's unconscious. Paul McKenna is one of the top hypnotists in the world for a reason.

The only men who even come close to his abilities are Derren Brown and Anthony Robbins.

I read many reviews before I decided to buy this book. Like everyone, I was a big time skeptic, but I was going to do EVERYTHING I could to regain my confidence which I lost long time ago, while I lived with a girl in 5 years. Our relationship ended a year ago, while I didn't even have enough confidence to speak with my old mates or be social with people. How bad can it be? Then I practices. I read books. I wanted to become the confident person I was before she came to my life.

When I bought this book, I began reading it straight ahead and listening to the cd before I go to sleep at nights. Let me first talk about the CD... Whenever I listen to it I just go to that "dreamlike" state of mind. It helps when you count from 300 (as he asks you to do) instead of thinking "Is this right? Am I supposed to be listening to his voice?" When you count down, your mind can't focus on his voice, just numbers. Often I fall into that state of mind before I reach to 260, but it is hard to know if it is sleeping or am I in that special state of mind. I become conscious again when he is counting from 10 to 1 to wake up. I don't know if I wake up because he raises his voice or because I am actually in that dreamlike state and not completely asleep. I am half through the book (motivation part). I read 1 chapter every day. No rush. I want it to set deep in my soul, if it does that at all. As you see, I am still slightly skeptic about it because of that sleep situation and the exercises in the book which are little confusing. However I have to admit that my life and my confidence level have changed for the better since I began reading this book. For example, I have never been in a night club alone during weekends; always in pairs, with my friends or with my ex-girlfriends. Last week, I found myself in a club all alone and I liked it. I wasn't nervous and it was fun. I was there just half an hour, but hey, it never happened before, not even a minute.

And I am getting better and better with each success. Each success story becomes a ground for the next success. You become more confident because you already experienced the success once. As the book says: "What you practice, you become". Believe in it and practice. Remember each "victory" as days pass so you can build you success on them. There is an exercise in the book about "success stories in your mind". You have to imagine a successful future and the feelings associated with it. Later, when you actually experience those success moments, you can change that movie in your mind and imagine those pictures from your real life.

It doesn't happen over a night though. I saw the changes after 2 weeks of practicing the exercises. Believe in yourself and remember to practice the exercises EVERY DAY.

I've been following Paul McKenna's material for a while now. This book is a quick read. I finished it in less than 2 hours, and folded the pages with all his recommended exercises. There's a 5 minute daily exercise that's very helpful at the beginning of the day. What's great about his book is that his exercises are short, and really changes your state ASAP. I haven't listened to the CD yet, but I'm sure it will be great and as effective as the book.

The CD is very helpful, inspiring confidence and action. The book coincides with the CD, giving exercises to enhance aspects of the CD and helping to bring about a greater level of confidence.

Once again, this book by Paul McKenna is excellent. The CD is especially good and easy
to follow. I noticed results after reading book and listening to CD once.
It helped me produce results on a project that I have been dreading and I was able to
see the project in a different and "doable" light; and with enthusiasm I might add!
