    Product Description

    More than thirty years ago, Richard Bandler set out to discover how some therapists effected startling change with their clients, while others argued about theories while their patients waited in vain for help. Now widely regarded as the world's greatest hypnotist and one of the most brilliant minds in the field of personal change, Richard Bandler created patterns that became the bedrock of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), arguably one of the most profoundly effective approaches for self-improvement. In Richard Bandler's Guide to Trance-formation, he returns to his roots: hypnotic phenomena, trancework, and altered states to provide a highly compelling and effective prescription for quick and lasting personal change.

    According to Bandler, "trance" is at the very foundation of human experience. People are not simply in or out of trance, but are constantly moving from one trance to another. We have our work trances, our relationship trances, and our parenting trances. Some of these states are useful and appropriate; others are not. With his signature wit and contrarian approach to therapy, Bandler shows how anyone can reset and reprogram their problem behaviors to reach desired alternatives with lasting and life-altering results. With intriguing case studies, client dialogues, and more than thirty exercises, Richard Bandler's Guide to Trance-formation, is an engaging, read for anyone, whether they are new to NLP, want to further their NLP training, or simply want to make a positive difference in their own lives.

    3 out of 5 stars Fairly decent   November 20, 2008
    Generally this is a good book. It is easy to read and it contains most things you need to know about inducing hypnosis.

    There are certain chapters, such as language patterns, which are written well. If you practise the exercises then you should become a reasonable hypnotist.

    There are irritating points: Bandler continues to tell us about when he wrote books such as "Tranceformations". I have had this book for over ten years and it was (and still is) co written by John Grinder.

    It is hard to take the author seriously when he never ever admits when things do not go right. This style of story telling had produced so many "NLPers" who have lost all grip on reality and convince themselves that a technique is working when it is clearly not.

    Thankfully the editor has done a good job of separating the garbage from the good stuff and this book does contain 4 transcripts (annoyingly called "trance - Scripts" in that NLP way) of sessions where you can analyse the language patterns used.

    There is lots of repetition in the book - if you have read his other stuff or ever gone to a seminar. I can't remember how many times I've heard about the guy who imagines people coming out of the TV show he's watching and bothering him. Richard tells him to watch the Playboy Channel.

    In truth this is a re-hash of "Tranceformations" which is now out of print. (That book had a bit on self-hypnosis which is sadly lacking from this newer book).

    Have a go - it's worth ten bucks at least.



    5 out of 5 stars This is the best integrated information I have ever read all in one book.   November 18, 2008
    This book have a lot information about NLP and tools, very pratical, all NLP pratician have to read. Recommended 100%.


    5 out of 5 stars Stealing a skill   November 18, 2008
    I have to admit I am very impressed with Richard Bandler's latest books, both of which are totally different.

    This book is clearly geared at people who already have experience with trance or are hypnotists, and is more detailed. If you're like me, you will find the book to be very free flowing, and an easier read than his earliest works. As you might expect, his trance work has become even more and more refined, there is a grace and fluidity about what he does.

    This is apparent in the client session trance scripts included at the back. The embedded commands are italicised. If you don't already know much about Milton Model and Meta Model patterns, you will find resource files at the end, which will enable you to get up to speed very quickly.

    My favorite line from the book is: 'So you only torture youself in your spare time?' spoken with typical irreverence.

    I particularly like the stealing from a genius exercise. Its similar to something I already do.

    Another one, you may find interesting is The Magic of False Memories.

    One particular item I saw him do on a clip from Paul McKenna's tv show.
    He was demonstrating -spinning feelings. That process is described in - Get the Life you want.

    If you're unsure about which book to get, they are both excellent, and highly recommended.

    I hope you find this review helpful, and, if you do, please click yes.

    I have read a lot of material on hypnosis and self-improvement but none as good as this. This book reads quickly and easily. The exercises are excellent and effective. I am making progress toward my goals already and I haven't even finished the book! Try it. It's great!


    5 out of 5 stars The Best of Bandler   November 9, 2008
    Fantastic book, Mr. Bandler techniques revisited and updated. A practical guide on hypnosis. This book its not poor seminar transcriptions. This time Mr. Bandler goes explaining step by step. Really very good.
