Life-Changing, Mind Blowing and Magical this book is!!!

Well, it took me a night to read it. But it's going to take a lifetime to get totally, it's that simple; yet that complicated and powerful. I mean Dr. Hiatt imparts something genuinely wonderful and she makes no bones or psychobabble (as another reviewer accurately calls it) about it. And the bibliography, it is wonderful. Especially including Julian Jaynes' masterwork on consciousness "The Origins of Consciousness and the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind" and James Allen's masterwork on spiritual epistemology "As a Man Thinketh" and her enlightened use and takes on these works in her book. Thus, I say objectively here that this book is a great buy in every way. And not only that, it is superiorly and tightly researched, written and illustrated (with examples as well as contextual analogs and diagrams.) But that's only the tip of the iceberg. She literally takes all the "mystery" nonsense and mythological foolishness out of hypnosis and mental science. It's like a quote from a case-history in Claude M. Bristol's classic book "The Magic of Believing", sure you know there is a Niagara Falls, and you've seen the 8 x 10 glossy pictures of the falls, but when you actually see it, it's genuinely overwhelming and awesome.

Create Your Dream Life Now!

Marta Hiatt gives you all you need to know to create for yourself a life you'll love getting up in the morning to live. No psychobabble, technobabble, or egobabble. Straight and to the point techniques you can use right now to create the life you want. Even if you are already where you want to be, you will learn so much about how you work mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually, you will be empowered to start on a dime to make changes happen for you should your find your circumstances altered by life, like the death of a loved one, loss of a job, home or physical ability/ies. Magic ways really do exist and Ms. Hiatt tells you how to do a number of things that will empower you in ways you can't even imagine. Sure, there are other magic books out there. I don't know about you, but when I finished them, I still felt I was in the same place I was when I started. Sure, I picked up a tip or two, but nothing like Hiatt's instructions. Do this and get that result. Sound simple? It is. All you have to do is do it. I am doing it. I wish for you the motivation to do it as well. Are these ways magic bullets? They are the closest thing I have ever found.

It's all in this book!

Marta Hiatt writes in the tradition of the great 20th century metaphysicians like Dr Joseph Murphy, Florence Scovel-Shinn and Catherine Ponder, but her style is thoroughly updated for the 21st century and her work is firmly grounded and integrated in psychology - she also draws on the experience she has acquired as a marriage and family therapist.In the first part, The Evolution Of Consciousness, she explains how the mind works, while the second part provides Techniques For Transformation such as affirmation, self-hypnosis, imagination, visualization and the goal of it all: cosmic consciousness. A rich array of helpful affirmations are provided, plus the best ways of using them, and there's a chapter on proper nutrition, stress and exercise.The appendices include detailed information for relaxation plus suggestions for self-hypnosis. There are apposite quotes and bibliographic references throughout the text, as well as an extensive bibliography and index, and the book is well-illustrated with figures explaining various aspects of consciousness. The secret to success is learning how to transform one's inner landscape so your life fulfills your highest promise. This book, a classic of the genre, informs you how to do this in an intelligent but easy-to-understand manner and is the best I have encountered in quite some time. I highly recommend it.

Excellent material!!

five stars plus...I purchased this book and once I started reading it it was like being on the road to enlightenment... it is an excellent book full of wonderful useful information for those wanting to really take a look at negative aspects in their lives so they can learn how to turn those aspects into positives. I wish every book was this delightful. I highly recommend it to students of or anyone who uses Hypnotherapy...

whatworks

What I liked about this book is that it doesn't focus on just one method of change, such as affirmations, visualizations or self-hypnosis, which may not work for everyone. Rather, it offers a potpourri of techniques for improving one's life without the "psychobabble" found in many self-help books. Dr. Hiatt clearly shows how people can change negative tapes that were programmed into their subconcious when they were young and substitute images that are positive and affirming.
