Review
One of the clearest trail guides I've ever read for taking inner journeys of self-discovery. . . . This is not the first book on self-hypnosis, and it surely won't be the last. But I believe it is one of the best, skillfully written and continually put to the test by a sincere practitioner. -- Gail Sheehy, from the Foreword
This book goes a long way towards removing the mystery about hypnosis. The case histories and anecdotes are very impressive . . . the book could well be listed as recommended reading for all medical students. -- Bernard Towers, M.D., Professor Emeritus of Anatomy and Psychiatry, UCLA
Through Dr. Fisher's self-hypnosis, I am able to revitalize myself as often as I need during the day by taking short, restful breaks. -- Leon Uris
