Works Well But You Have To Work It, August 13, 2007
This review is from: Success Is Not an Accident: The Mental Bank Concept (Paperback)
This book outlines a system of personal improvement developed by dr. John Kappas, founder of the Hypnosis Motivation Institute. The late Dr. Kappas was a pioneer in creating a working model of suggestibility and hypnosis that works extremely well.
This particular system was refined over many years. It's not difficult to do, but it's not easy either. You have to work in your ledger for a few minutes every day. (By the way, do yourself a favor and order a couple of ledgers to go along with this book -
The Mental Bank Ledger)
If you do this diligently you will start to notice many small changes in yoru life. Those small changes compund and snowball over time and become big changes. This isn't magic or mumbo-jumbo, it is behavioral science.
In his practice, Dr. Kappas recognized that many people fail to change or revert to old behaviors because homeostasis is an overpowering drive. We don't often venture out of our comfort zone. Worse yet is when we push out of teh comfort zone and slingshot back to old behaviors. The Mental Bank is a practice which is designed to create a small bit of momentum to expand the comfort zone, and create new behaviors. It overcomes homeostasis and allows the new desired behaviors to become your comfort zone.
You can make more mone, lose weight, whatever you want. Again, there is effort, it's about 5 minutes a day right before you go to sleep.
The timing is also important, because it will stimulate the problem solving mechanisms in the deram cycle. Have you ever woken up with the solution to a problem after "sleeping on it"? This is designed to take advantage of the brain's organizing activities during sleep.

Gives you the motivation to do the things you need to do., July 19, 2008
This review is from: Success Is Not an Accident: The Mental Bank Concept (Paperback)
I enjoy the Mental Bank because from what I've experienced, it gives you the motivation to do the things you need to do. I watched "The Secret" and read about the Law of Attraction. But I could not get the motivation to do the things necessary to accomplish much of anything. But from some of the results (at least I think they were from the Mental Bank), the motivation factor is answered. I think it does give you that extra motivation.
