Review: It is interesting to pose the question – Does hypnosis actually exist? I believe it does exist if you believe it does. Otherwise, no, it’s a load of codswallop. We have all watched TV shows or attended a live hypnosis event. Certainly the people that gather on stage do get hypnotized or appear to. But, fairly obviously, if I asked a hypnotized man to take a gun and shoot his mother he would not. So was he really hypnotized after all? No, of course not. Yet, with little trouble the hypnotist was able to get him to eat an onion and think that it was a delicious apple.
If you have ever tried to voluntarily eat an onion and pretend it is delicious, and I have (playing Pistol in Shakespeare’s “Henry V” nightly on stage for 2 months) it’s not at all difficult to overcome what your taste buds are telling you and appear to enjoy the snack. In fact hypnotists can only ever get someone to do something they would be able to do in a normal conscious state. But here is the rub…
If the person being hypnotized sincerely believes there is such a thing as hypnosis and that they are in fact hypnotized then they will be able to do things that they previously assumed they could not, like having perfect recall or being able to do a physical feat they thought beyond them. So, yes, hypnosis works for the believers, and not for the non-believers – that’s why hypnotists are particular about which people they allow on stage, because they can quickly see if they are resistant to the concept or not.
I go into this in some detail in “The Art of Creating Alpha Males” i.e. that humans are instinctively cooperative creatures, in fact by far the most cooperative (and therefore indoctrinable) creatures on the planet. You need look no further than army boot camp training to see how easy it is to indoctrinate people. Hypnosis is a good demonstration of such indoctrination using a belief system.
As to the Ultimate Conversational Hypnosis site, and as I have mentioned before when reviewing other sites – the trouble with people who tell whoppers is that they tell whoppers, not just fibs. Paul Mascetta ofNew York City takes responsibility for this site’s almost endless homage to the professional hypnotist, Steve G. Jones. So no doubt the site is made with Steve’s complete approval and we can assume that a whopper like this…

…has been sanctioned by Steve. Yet here they are prepared to give away more than one hour’s worth of the same advice, in fact many more hours, for 373 times less money.
I suppose the long form sales pitch is its own form of hypnosis. Why would anybody write so much – in this case a good sized novella – if there was not something of substance behind it? That is the logic of long form selling, at least from the buyer’s perspective. But whether a person writes a lot about something or a little it does not change the value of the thing they are selling. In this case they are selling you on your power to delude yourself.
But, the whole Success Coach/Life Coach phenomenon is built around taking a fragile personality, lacking self-esteem or over-all confidence and giving it a platform, a system, to rebuild itself into a more forceful and therefore more successful human being. You cannot call people like John Travolta or Tom Cruise unintelligent, yet they buy into the whole silliness of the Mormon Church, and moreover, have made it work for them in generating fabulously successful careers. As with most challenges all you need is self-belief and you can usually overcome and prosper. How you get that self-belief is up to you.
The good thing about this sort of nonsense is that it does supply a person lacking in direction with structure. If they start from a position of belief that hypnosis is a real phenomenon which can allow one to do things never thought possible, then that is constructive. Personally I don’t see the need for such self-indoctrination – willpower and logic should be sufficient – but not all people possess strong inner belief or motivation.
Value for money: $67 for 24 CD and 1 DVD sounds like a reasonable deal. Unless you are a complete novice to burning disks then I’m not sure why anyone would pay the $127 they want for the hardcopy set.
I don’t believe any of the companies claiming they will give you your money back for this sort of material will actually do that, but I am encouraged by this in reviewing this company:
“Yes, we offer 24 hour phone support. If you’re calling from the U.S.please dial: (877) 944-9766. International callers please dial: (718) 833-5299. You can also email Steve’s staff. You can expect a reply within 24 hours and usually much quicker than that.”
