This is by far one of the best self-hypnosis books on the market, especially for someone like me. I'm a pre-med student and a lot of times when I do mundane tasks such as cleaning or even exercising, it feels as though I'm wasting time I could be using to study. I become anxious whenever I do things that I feel are a "waste of time". However, with this book I'm now able to change those same chores and make them fun and feel useful. I'm only on the second day of using this program, but now chores that I used to hate doing are actually exciting and fulfilling! Imagine that, I now enjoy cleaning my room. Not only that, but the anxious feeling is gone and I'm looking foward to postive changes. Great book!

I was and am so enormously impressed by what I read in Forbes Blair's second book, "Self-Hypnosis Revolution". Unlike most of the reviewers I am actually one of Forbes's very satisfied clients. A couple of months ago out of the blue, I contacted him for a session and found out he was an author too! I immediately got and read both of his books the same day! The first, "Instant Self-Hypnosis", was a great read.

But the second book was a total surprise! It was completely different from his first book and I dare say from any other "self-hypnosis" book you're liable to ever read ever. As I read and read "Self-Hypnosis Revolution" I realized this book really wasn't about hypnosis per se as it was about the connection between what we do everyday as ordinary tasks and how we see what is this ordinary to create an extraordinary life! WOW I thought, this is actually more like a Zen concept than a self-hypnosis technique!

The question this book answered for me without any drama and so succinctly with the Zen twist is, "How can I make real on-going self-improvement from exactly where I am right now with what I have? I admit I did get goosebumps when I finally got the simple answer to that question. And when I did get the answer I thought, "Could it really be that simple, though?" As we go about our daily tasks, everyday jobs, errands, life activities, daily chores and the like we can effortlessly begin to weave the deeper meaning of it all? Well Forbes says Yes!

Forbes' methods expose how truly simple it can be to transmute the ordinary meaning of ANY daily human activity into a powerful catalyst for life changes but the ultimate beauty of his work is in transforming the mundane activities. Those things we do that always seem to be in the way of getting the REALLY important things done.

Even in the first few hours of using his methods I could feel a jump start in rejuvenating and reprogramming the love of my life; the small, the big, the boring, the exciting, regardless of what type of activity I was engaged at any time. And then, the real significance of "Self-Hypnosis Revolution" blasted through me: EVERYTHING we do as humans and a human community is sacred, and when we treat our life experiences that way then EVERYTHING changes for the better!

This book will help you as it did me to find peace, joy and `opportunity for personal empowerment' regardless of where you are or what you're doing.

What Forbes accomplished so easily is to help you make changes in your life that you can live with and more importantly he shows you HOW to do that in just a few minutes a day. So again how does Blair suggest making self improvements? Do it in a way that allows you to start with your ordinary because your ordinary IS extraordinary!

I read the first half and applied the easy to use principles right away.

This is amazing. This makes your mundane tasks or stuff you may not want to do, powerful and meaningful in life. If you give it an honest try you will be amazed.

I am not a SPIRITUAL NEW AGEY type person. I don't believe in new age blah blah, but self hypnosis is really a way of controlling your thoughts in a powerful way and using the power of relaxation and focus to direct your life in the right way.

YOUR THOUGHTS will determine where you go and what you do in life. Whether you are happy or sad, or successful and confident or doubtful and weak.

The tools in this book are very UNIQUE, I've never seen anything like this and I read all the time. The is an original idea and putting it into practice the first time was a 9.5 on a scale of 1 to 10. I am sure if I use this on many many activities my life will never be the same because my thoughts will be taking me in a new direction.

Thoughts are things.

Good luck.

I have read many books on self hypnosis and all sounded great in concept but actually implementing them on a daily practise did go beyond 4th or 5th day. Hypnosis method using this book actually made me use self hypnosis without missing a day and I am already seeing some positive changes in me in less than 8 days !... Great Work by Forbes Robbins Blair.

If this book does not help in using self hypnosis then I don't know if there is any other simpler method than this. I tried it on my spending habits and reaching some personal goal and I see it actually works.

I personally want to thank Mr. Forbes Robbins Blair for this best book. This book along with "Instant Self-Hypnosis" by same author is Best combo for help with Self Hypnosis you can find in the market.

Forbes Robbins Blair, you have done it again. As a hypnotherapist, I read his first book Instant Self Hypnosis, and I was inspired. So inspired, that I contacted him via email. What a class act. He was very helpful and extremely generous.

As a Hypnotherapist, we help others and find little time to help ourselves. With his 2 books, Forbes has filled in those empty spaces, where no we have the tools to help ourselves as well as our patients. The simple techniques are tools that can be taught to anyone. They can help any hypnotherapist. By teaching these techniques to patients, it gives us a higher success rate.
Thanks for another great book.

The beauty of this book is that I was able to use the techniques right away without interrupting my busy schedule. I have been applying a technique for a little over a week now and I can already feel the difference. I now look forward to each mundane task as opportunities to get results. It's addicting in a positive way.

Yes, I'm the author of the book. And you may wonder what I'm doing reviewing my own work? Until the second edition comes out, this is my way to speak to my potential readers. Hopefully I'll clear up most of the confusion. And stay objective. :)

The book is about a self hypnosis- RELATED technique that uses the elements of imagery and combines them with the power of suggestion to make a strong impact on the reader's subconscious mind. This is what makes it directly related to hypnosis. And I decided to be encyclopedic in how I cover almost all the daily activities and their elemental relationships to the imagination. That's what makes it this book so "revolutionary."

What makes it different from traditional self hypnosis is that no trance procedures are used. You never close your eyes. And you use the method right along everyday activities. It's while doing those activities that positive change in your life starts to work.

I spend most of the book listing most of those daily activities, linking them to what secret underlying meaning they hold. Then I offer very specific self-suggestions you'd be using with the method. You'll find that suddenly things like ironing your clothes become very positive life-changing opportunities!

If you're looking for the same-old-same-old self hypnosis material, there are other books out there. But if you want something you can use everyday to impact your body, your mind, and your career, I know this book can become that new important addition to your library.

There's no other book like it. And it can certainly change your life if you take action and put it to work for you.

As a hypnotherapist of over 15 years, I have read many self-hypnosis books, most of them rehashing the same old stuff. While there's nothing wrong with "the same old stuff," it was exciting to read something that is was so unique and original.

Forbes' idea of utilizing natural trance states to make changes is outstanding. It updates and brings Coue's concept of repeating "every day in every way, I'm getting better and better" into the 21st Century! Some people just don't have the time to sit down and do self-hypnosis, and some people don't feel they can go into trance. Forbes' figured out a way that folks don't have to do either!

Very exciting. A revolution, indeed.

July 28, 2007 was a lucky day for me. My brother had just come from his very first hypnosis session and was telling me how fascinated he was with the process. Later, I wandered into our local bookstore and headed for the self-help section. A book entitled, "Self-Hypnosis Revolution," had been placed horizontally on the shelf, staring right at me. Having just talked to my brother about hypnosis, I was curious. I picked up the book and was so fascinated with the intro that I immediately purchased it. Was it true that, as the author said, "Everything you do has an underlying meaning that provides an opportunity to plant seeds within your mind to promote healing, change, and growth?" To my delight, yes, it was and is true! Forbes Robbins Blair's simple, eloquent explanation of how anyone can use the hypnosis process to promote positive self-growth is a treasure! I began using the techniques almost immediately. Within a very short time, I began to see sometimes subtle, sometimes major changes in my thought patterns, and consequently, my behavior. As someone who has read hundreds of self-help books, I rank this among the most effective for content. Definitely a 5,6,7, 10 star rating from me! Oh, yes, how did I remember that date? I recently picked up the book again to re-read a couple sections and the purchase slip fell out. I have had one full-year to test its effects. It works! Linda Cassell, Washington, DC

I just want to say how wonderful this Self hypnosis revolution book is. I bought it because of the great reviews and it is true, this book is different than his first book. It is life changing. It teaches you how to make self suggestions so that you will never see your life the same way again. You will do the same mundane, boring, repetitive, habitual things of daily life and will be able to inbue them with meaning, magic, wonder, awesomeness. This is the life we were meant to live. This is the way we were as innocent, children - viewing life in wonder and absorbing it with gladness and joy.
