5.0 out of 5 stars Even More Than I Expected, November 11, 2005

This review is from: UnHypnosis: How to Wake Up, Start Over, and Create the Life You're Meant to Live (Paperback)

I actually met Dr. Taubman a few years back at a professional seminar so I jumped at the chance to read his new book with the intriguing title..."Unhypnosis". I literally read the book from cover to cover in one sitting. Hypnosis, as a subject, has about a million different connotations with it from benign to helpful to evil. Certainly, the topic is much broader and not the simplistic stage or show type of hypnosis. He is really discussing the programming we use to instruct our supercomputer brain. Like it or not, we are all dealing with hypnosis touching our lives from the daydreaming we do to the messages we are bombarded with every day.

For me this was a wake up call and an opportunity to learn how to make hypnosis work for me rather than against me. I really appreciate Dr. Taubman's candor and honesty in providing a real guide to living life with purpose and passion rather than just letting the current of issues carry us downstream. Well done!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like to think.. or stop thinking.. buy this book, November 10, 2005

This review is from: UnHypnosis: How to Wake Up, Start Over, and Create the Life You're Meant to Live (Paperback)

With that word, UNHYPNOSIS in the title, I didn't know what to expect.. there are people who say that hypnosis is evil and something to be scared of.

Fortunately, I didn't stop at the first word. This is NOT a book about hypnosis.

What I did see were many references, stories, and explanations that I've NEVER seen in other books or programs. Dr. Taubman tells some of his own story.. especially good is the "I"m Dr. Steve from the USA story".. but mostly sticks to a point by point explanation of how our mind/body/soul works.

I've studied everything from self help to scripture, and found several new ways of explaining what I thought might be unexplainable. Perhaps the best "how meditation works in three pages" I've ever seen. The WITNESS and SHARING section of one chapter made me put down the book and exclaim "Yes, that's exactly how it works!"

The book starts with a good warning that universal principals should never be in conflict with what you already know. There's no "I'm the Guru, you were wrong" stuff here.

I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to live an examined life. (Is there any other way?) A goof book for all.

4.0 out of 5 stars More awareness for inner and outer growth, November 30, 2005

By 

Douglas Eby "Talent Development Resources" (Beverly Hills, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: UnHypnosis: How to Wake Up, Start Over, and Create the Life You're Meant to Live (Paperback)

Acknowledging that turning within but "neglecting outer prosperity and the dance of creativity" will result in discontent, Dr. Taubman provides accessible information for discovering more about our subconscious mind and limiting beliefs to help bring "the two poles of inner growth and outer growth into relationship with each other."

The model of five layers of consciousness (essence, beliefs, goals, manifestation and interaction) is a helpful orientation to personal development. His writing is refreshingly non-academic, but the strategies presented are grounded in a wide range of psychology and spiritual growth material, including concepts of unconscious "scripting" and the growing recognition of meditation as an effective tool.

Seeking within to know our essence, and make changes we want in our physical and emotional realities, he notes, requires the participation of our conscious minds, which can be "a strong and persistent adversary" if it is not comfortable with our choices. Positive change is not a matter of obsessing on what is wrong with us, but rather "bringing into awareness and applying compassion and equanimity" to discover and transform our limiting beliefs, and more fully realize our unique talents.
