William Hudson O'Hanlon

Chapters 3-11 are the most valuable parts of the book. These chapters are pragmatic (if compact) overviews of particular techniques useful to anyone who works with clients seeking change. I didn't give 5 stars only because there are some elements I find perhaps a bit dated or maybe the word is idealistic--a section on the effectiveness of hypnotism. It was a bit too out there and could have been left out.

All good options to consider. Thought these are ones that he has mentioned in other books. :-)

The writing itself was pretty poor in places, but there are some gems to pay attention to. But much of it sounded condescending or self-congratulatory. I don’t think I’d necessarily call the book “gimmicky,” as other reviews have, but it’s definitely somewhere in that vicinity.

Several wonderful Bill articles edited in book form. I believe this was edited by an ex-wife? I am definitely going to have to ask him about some things.
