Synopsis
Each of us has the power to dramatically change
the way we live our lives. We can also use this power to subtly
influence others--in our business dealings and social get-togethers,
as well as in our personal relationships. Although most of us know
of this power, few of us have the knowledge to use it. But those
who understand its use can truly alter their destinies. It is hypnosis--the
power to control the subconscious through posthypnotic suggestion.
In his new book, parapsychologist Hans Holzer opens the door to
a unique and proven tool of the mind.
Have you ever wished to lose weight, give up
smoking, quit biting your nails, or stop dozens of other bad habits?
Have you ever wanted to become a better lover? Hypnosis can make it happen. In this easy-to-understand book, Dr. Holzer
offers a fascinating look at the world of hypnosis. He begins by
examining how this power is used in everyday life through advertising,
politics, and other means. He then explains what hypnosis is and
how it works,and provides basic do’s and don’ts. From there, the
author explores the use of hypnosis in areas such as healing, stress
reduction, love, and more.
If you are looking for a way to overcome your
fears, increase your willpower, and take charge of your life, the
answer may be contained in this book. Whether self-induced or performed
by a professional, the power of hypnosis is real, effective, and
ready to be tapped. All you have to do is BUY THIS BOOK, BUY THIS
BOOK, BUY THIS BOOK...

Introduction
If you walk into a bookstore looking for information about hypnosis, the categories in which you find each book will give you a clue as to its author’s take on this complex, sometimes controversial, and often misunderstood subject. Some titles are found with dense medical volumes. Others are found in psychology sections.Still others are found among books about the occult.
Books written by doctors and academics tend to be couched in technical terms. They generally include clinical case histories and are aimed at medical practitioners. These may put the average reader to sleep--no pun intended.
At the other end of the spectrum are books written by magicians and performers who regard hypnosis as entertainment. They dwell on special effects, hypnotic tricks, and proof that hypnosis really “works.” Some books reveal techniques for do-it-yourself hypnosis, which can be risky if you do not know what you are doing.
Finally, you will find books written by parapsychologists, psychologists, hypnotists, and professional science writers who attempt to deal with the subject as a whole and from all points of view. Their purpose is to explain the use of hypnosis in modern society and to inform the public of the risks and rewards of hypnosis while providing a comprehensive handbook for readers seeking to use hypnosis to better their lives.
My book falls somewhat into the last category, but with some differences.
In Hypnosis, you will learn the fascinating history behind hypnosis while exploring what hypnosis is and the techniques that are used by professional hypnotists. I have created a factual yet interesting context for your understanding and, perhaps, appreciation of hypnosis. No such explanation is complete without exploring the wonders of sleep, so we will begin with this subject and the relationship between the conscious and the unconscious. You will learn, too, about how and why modern hypnosis helps treat problems related to sex, love, and relationships. Through other case studies, you will see that when hypnosis “suggests” that an ailing mind or body heal itself, the subject often responds by beginning the path towards wellness. Finally, we will visit the paranormal, and what hypnosis can potentially teach us about this field of study.
I wrote this book for two reasons.
First, I want to correct and clarify inaccuracies, distortion, and misconceptions. I want you to understand what hypnosis can, and cannot, do.
Second, I want to share my own experience and knowledge of the uses of hypnosis in research of parapsychology. My work encompasses extrasensory perception (ESP) and reincarnation, while also exploring a variety of other psychic phenomena that some might consider unorthodox but help create a more complete understanding of hypnosis.
On occasion, I have practiced psychotherapy as well, with some success. I believe that only when we consider the human personality as a whole and recognize hypnosis as an important element of the integrated mind-body-spirit, can we understand the usefulness, the effectiveness, and the power of hypnosis.
