As a hypnotherapist I have been using the structure and techniques in this book and showing my clients how to use those skills and I subsequently recommend that they invest this book. The specific technique demonstrated here is very easy for anyone to use and allows anyone to apply it.

Having applied much of the books content to myself as well, I have thoroughly enjoyed learning how to use self-hypnosis in this way. The settling techniques and accompanying explanations in this book are not found anywhere else in the many self-hypnosis books that I have read over the years. This alone made it worthwhile.

I got one of the recently revised copies too and it is very easy to read and as I have said, for me it has been very useful for a variety of reasons.

I got this book simply because my daughter bought it, raved about it and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Having only intended on "dipping my toe in" and casually reading a few pages I got drawn in and loved it. My husband and I have since spent lots of time in trances! This book is going to show you how to go into a trance, that is, how to get into a state of hypnosis. Then it gives a load of various ways to do things while in trance and use it for all the stuff that most people will buy the book for; stopping smoking, losing weight, all that kind of thing. I just found it interesting and a lot of fun even though I had no major issue to deal with. This is a great book; easy to read, easy to follow and not loaded with technical or academic terminology. I recommend it.

As one of the previous reviews says, you will keep on referring to this book. My copy is very well thumbed already! You do have to read it through from cover to cover the first time, you can then refer to the parts that you want to concentrate on. I heard this guy Adam Eason speak on radio here in the US and he was funny and entertaining and that style comes through in this book.

I bought the book to help to stop smoking and I have since stopped smoking using the techniques in this book. More than that, I have honestly found it much much easier than I expected.

All in all it is excellent. I loved it and am a true convert. I was totally new to this kind of thing and am now getting right in to self-hypnosis, and goddam I love the feeling of it. It sure is a great way to feel good.

It is always a pleasure to be able to review books written by members of the Hypnotherapy Association and to bring the work of our members to a wider audience.

This time it was indeed a true pleasure as the book reviewed was one of the most readable books that I have come across in the many years I have been reviewing for the hypnotherapist journal. But in being readable it was NOT being patronising. It was ensuring that the valuable messages that it contained were broadcast in the most readily comprehended way by specialist and layman alike, It is a work which I feel goes in right at the top of the charts of "must have" books.

I have seen no other book deal with Self Hypnosis in such an interesting, entertaining, informative and businesslike manner. It is a profound experience masterfully revealed and explained.
"The Secrets of Self-Hypnosis" is a ground-breaking, practical, step-by-step guide to harnessing the power of your unconscious mind.

Using a structured and unique methodology, this book shows you how absolutely anyone can enter hypnosis easily, how to be in control of the state of hypnosis, how to deepen your experience of it and deliver powerful changes or make updates to your life; all by yourself!

Released in August 2005, as I have said above, it is one of those books that should be on YOUR bookcase. NO! I don't mean that. It should be in your possession BUT I feel that you will refer to it so often that it will hardly be in the bookcase at all.

Using the skills of self-hypnosis that Eason shares, here are just some of the things you can expect to learn:

Increase Confidence
Manage and Overcome Stress
Develop a Better Memory
Distort Your Perception of Time. That's right, learn how to slow it down and speed it up!
Become a Non-smoker
Achieve and Maintain Your Ideal Weight
Let Go of Pain
How to use language with yourself
Release stress
Nurture a special relationship with yourself
So much more.

It is a work of art. It is a book for hypnotherapists and all those interested in hypnotherapy and people looking just for personal development; by a hypnotherapist who is also a skilled communicator, and is already finding deserved acclaim in the hypnotherapeutic world.

The book provides the reader with an informative tour of the whole world of Self-Hypnosis. Myths are exploded and reality is clarified and developed.

The book is a journey around into and behind the scenes of Self-Hypnosis. It has been expertly crafted by a man who obviously knows his subject in and out. It is not a " dip-in" book. It is a book that needs to be read from front to back so that each step is introduced, explained and developed and you move on only when that full explanation has been given. It builds brick by brick the foundation of your own understanding of this fascinating subject.

I have to admit I pick up some review books and have to plough through them laboriously - especially when Liz is shouting deadline dates at me !! This was not the case with this book. It was written with the skill of a novelist who leads you on an exciting journey as you enthusiastically turn over the page to see what happens next.

It is a riveting read. You may not agree with everything that he says BUT he doesn't expect or want you to. He wants you to think for yourself. In brief he seeks to facilitate our experience of Self Hypnosis. At no time does he try to dictate it and that I find wonderfully refreshing.

The book is well produced. For one thing it is manageable. You don't need to be a weightlifter to carry it about. The print is clear and pleasing to the eye making it a very easy book to negotiate.

I found the scripts within the text of great interest and have already begun developing their themes to suit my own style of working.

That is what the book is about. Adam Eason is giving us the tools and the methodology so that we can get on with the job

I have no hesitation in drawing your attention to Section Four - Advanced Methodology and Application. This section is masterfully created and I feel will be well received by all readers. I was particularly pleased to see an element on Healing included too. The Healing Visualisation Script is one of the best I have come across, and I use it often and also recommend it to others

A refreshing read. A true milestone of hypnotherapy writing.
The secrets of self hypnosis are there for you. I urge you to explore them !!

David Slater: Official Book Reviewer for The Hypnotherapist Journal.

This was nothing short of a joy to read throughout. It is fun and you can tell that the author writes truly wanting you to experience something wonderful and for the reader to benefit from the books content.

I have referred back to this book and have been quoting sections of it continuously to friends and family alike. I have applied its theories and contents to most areas of my life and am finding them to be transformed with the slightest effort. I now use self-hypnosis before work and when wanting to get to sleep and I have even helped my self in ways that I never thought I would be able to.

I bought this book because it was reviewed in "Changes" magazine, the magazine for the Anglo-American Book company and the editor of the magazine described the book as being truly fresh and standing out in this field. I concur with this.

I found it to be practical and easy to read and I recommend it to anyone looking for a different approach to self-help.

I bought this book having watched Adam Eason speak in Las Vegas at the end of 2005. Self-hypnosis works in many ways and most particularly for me, by using your internal dialogue in a new fashion.

Meanwhile, Adam Eason is a delightful practitioner of his own techniques mostly because of his own obvious dedication to his subject, his sense of fun and his direct and uncomplicated interactions with people and his readers.

This book, therefore, is in my opinion to the authors practice of self-hypnosis as any recipe book is to the process of cooking, delivering and consuming delicious food. Without a doubt, the recipe is there, and all of the ingredients are described fully and thoroughly, but even more than that, there is the flavour, the taste, the atmosphere and the human vivacity that lies at the heart of possessing these skills.

When self-hypnosis works best for me, it is because my conscious minds communications are working in harmony with my unconscious (as well as with my own self interest and motives), and I have seen and heard Adam Eason deliver this notion with a joyful manner that is reflected throughout this book.

What I have found striking about about this book and the information contained therein is not so much the language skills that you learn and develop in communicationg with your your self (which are impressive) or the structure of the process that you learn to apply self-hypnosis to your own life, but the compassion in which it is all delivered; there is an inherent ability within the pages to recognise, in a very short sentence, how someone can be helped to help themselves. You really do find that in the book. Terrific stuff.

This is the finest book about self hypnosis I've ever read. Adam Eason's work is thorough, clear. The book is well written, easy to read and one that you will be glad to have in your library. The book is a blueprint for self hypnosis. He starts you out with defining what each word means then moves along to all the basics like inductions. Then he shows you how to write new programs and so on.

There are plenty of scripts and then lots of subjects that he covers in depth. Stress relief, overcoming pain, time distortion, insomnia, smoking cessation, weight loss, confidence and there are more.

The bibliography is nice to have and I really wish I would have written this book!

Kevin Hogan
Author of Through the Open Door: Secrets of Self Hypnosis

I have explored and experienced the field of self-hypnosis for many years now. I have also read a vast array of books on the subject and when I bought this one I did not expect to find anything new.
This book is refreshing. It has a wonderful tone to it and sets things out so easily for anyone to comprehend. I really enjoyed this and have been using the techniques within the book for a regular implementation of self-hypnosis in my life. There are many varying techniques for all manner of personal development.
The Secrets of Self-Hypnosis has renewed my interest and I think anyone would truly enjoy reading this book. This is the first time I have ever written a review, this book stimulated me to do so. I thank the author for this book.

The Secrets of Self-Hypnosis by Adam Eason is filled to the brim with lots of excellent facts about the nature of self-hypnosis and of how to utilise this remarkable natural attribute in day-to-day life. Adam shares principles for developing confidence, becoming slimmer, being a non-smoker, pain relief and more. If you don't currently know anything or much about self-hypnosis this book will teach you a lot - and it will do so in a readily accessible way. (And if you're buying this book as a fully-trained and qualified professional hypnotherapist I believe that you'll find that you still learn many wonderful things as well.) A good read and a good reference book too!

I found this book really beneficial. As someone who finds it difficult to concentrate for large periods of time, I have now read this book from cover to cover three times as I have found more and more each time I have read it.

The techniques are sound and very easy to follow although some require a lot more concentration and effort than others. Some aspects of the book I use regularly and other parts not at all; the author does suggest that you choose to use what is right for you and I really liked that idea. All in all, a very usable book and has benefited me enormously.
