Richard Bandler's Guide to Trance-Formation: How to Harness the Power of Hypnosis to Ignite Effortless and Lasting Change

Although the book is interesting I didn't find it to be as good as the original 'Transformations' written with John Grinder. The reason for this is that the original was much more oriented to non verbal feedback ans the instructions on how to carry out trance as well as what to do were based on explicitly stated rules/algorithms. There was no need for scripts (like Bandler uses in this book).

Great book

Written by the master and originator of NLP fascinating read.

Excellent

RB is the man.

I'd now recommend [ASIN:0757307779 Richard Bandler's Guide to Trance-Formation: How to Harness the Power of Hypnosis to Ignite Effortless and Lasting Change]]as a suggested 'must read' book for anyone who is genuinely interested in NLP and hypnosis. From the beginner to the most experienced. It's practical and it's deeply human. And this brings NLP up to date from the incredibly useful Milton and Meta models to the latest approaches.

I discovered this by accident whilst looking for another trance script book. It's a fantastic insight into the beginnings of NLP and how this relates to altered states/trance. The exercises are uncorrupted by others interpretation that allows you as a practitioner to stay close to the source. They are well explained and easy to follow. Great suggestions as to how you might develop as a hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner. Bandler is a great raconteur and this comes through in the written word to. Some fantastically insightful quotations. This is a book I see myself returning to time and time again.
