Editorial Review Product Description
Why do we call this a "non-book"? Because this is not a text you "read at." Its very structure and contents are designed to put you into the Energized Hypnosis state as you learn how to do it at will. Reading is doing!!! What is Energized Hypnosis? It is a breakthrough program for gaining personal power, peace of mind and enlightenment. The techniques of Energized Hypnosis were developed many years ago by Dr. Christopher S. Hyatt and Dr. Israel Regardie, but have remained "in the closet" ... until now. ... Read more Customer Reviews (6) 
A powerful ongoing tool for change
Deserving ongoing recommendation is ENERGIZED HYPNOSIS: A NON-BOOK FOR SELF CHANGE. It offers a different program for gaining personal power and enlightenment using techniques developed by the authors, offering an approach that energizes the body from self-suggestion and shows how to change habits through suggestion. New age and self-help/self-improvement collections will find this a powerful ongoing tool for change.
Good, but...
This was a pretty decent book on NLP and trances. No where near as good as Undoing Yourself though. The tests and exercises are pretty good! Maybe the CD offers that something extra I am missing from this book.
a great but very different book!
I have not finished this book but I can say that if you do the techniques it does work! I have never encountered a book that totally shifts my consciousness besides Eric Pepins Handbook of the Navigator. This book still works differently than the Navigator. I mean I thought "yeah right sure i am so going to go into a trance" very skeptical about the claims it made. So I started the first chapter and there I was in a completely altered state of mind to the point of giggling my butt off! I think if you really want to see some self change this book should be a must to read. I was very impressed my the 1st review that was posted about this book and was one of the reason's I decided to purchase it. I find this book humorous in some areas and very informative. It helps me to get awayalso.ASAP i will be purchasing the cd's. I am sure I will be happy with that purchase also. Highly recommended for those that want change but you have to do the exercises.
Highly Effective, Highly Recommended
As a practicing psychotherapist, I can whole-heartedly recommend this non-book. It really delivers. The reviewer below might consider actually DOING the methods outlined in the non-book.
I also HIGHLY recommend going to the publisher's website and purchasing the two cd set that complements the non-book. Word of warning: the techniques only work if YOU work. Nothing is free and the fruit is equal to the effort.
Well, I wouldn't call it "energizing"....
I will be reviewing the book only here, since that is what is currently available through Amazon.
Personally I found it disappointing, but I'm sure others will find it very helpful. I've read many basic introduction to hypnosis and self-hypnosis books over the years, and this one certainly is the most unique among them all.
It does an excellent job of explaining (in a non-bookish sort of way), why we continue to do the things we do, even when we don't want to do them anymore. It can serve as a kind of wake up call for those of us who are stuck in ruts of our own design. These are the qualities I enjoyed most about the book and can recommend it for. It compiles a large number of important concepts about self-development into a single comprehensive lesson.
On the other hand...
I certainly didn't feel entranced, hypnotized, or otherwise "sucked in" by the writing style. After reading the descriptions, I was expecting a much stronger hypnotic impact. Instead, I found it to be very much like a "normal" book - with information introduced in a direct manner, with the occasional attempt at "blowing your mind" with italicized suggestions, odd questions and unexpected statements. I give it points for originality, but if you're hoping this book will be like a session with Milton Erickson in print, save your money, it simply doesn't deliver on that level.
Finally, out of roughly 120 pages, the first 110 of them are dedicated to explaining basic information about how we develop unconscious patterns and self-limiting beliefs. There is virutally NO ACTUAL INFORMATION ABOUT HYPNOSIS IN THIS BOOK. So if you're looking for an introduction to hypnosis, look elsewhere, this isn't it.
Only in the final 10 pages does it finally get to the point and offer 4 unique methods for "undoing yourself" with "energized" hypnotic techniques. I'll say this, in keeping with the rest of the book, they're very interesting, and unique approaches to self-hypnosis.
And once again, while I think some folks will find them absolutely brilliant and effective, I personally dismissed them as time consuming, requiring more effort than necessary, and worst of all, completely lacking any in-depth explaination of the How or Why of each technique. I personally felt the author displayed a small degree of arrogance in the assumption that people would just do what he says, because he says so, without offering any particular reasons or supporting logic behind them. I don't know about you, but when someone tells me to jump, I ask "WHY?" not "how high?".
But of course, that's where the book ends and the CD's come in. Maybe they make it all come together like the other review suggests. Maybe when I finally listen to them, I will think it was all worthwhile and worth the $$$. Who knows? Anything's possible...
