Book Description
Who Else Wants to Effortlessly Shape the Way People Think? In the distant past when dinosaurs still roamed the lands, I had a series of corporate jobs. And as unluck would have it, I ended up going to a lot of meetings. In these meetings, decisions were made that would sometimes affect the course of the future for hundreds of employees and millions of customers. That's all fairly typical for a corporation, right? But I noticed something odd. Quite often in these meetings, the decision makers would choose to make decisions that made no sense and were guaranteed to have bad outcomes. This was despite people pointing out all the flaws and what would happen. As you might imagine, when the predicted sequence of events would inevitably unfold, the decision makers were confused. Why did no-one tell us this would happen? they would wail! At the same time, I had become a little obsessed with hypnosis and was spending a lot of my time experimenting with it in every part of my life. Naturally this included work, so I started to wonder what kinds of things I could achieve. And the answer was surprising. Inside this book What hypnotic anchoring really is. Once you appreciate this key point, the entire thing becomes a lot less mysterious and easier to understand. How I exploit a feature of the mind to easily recall information. How to use simple gestures to change the course of someone's thinking. You can use this on just one person, or an entire group at once. How to help your subjects to have the behaviors that you want. The only two things that can cause us to remember something. The exact steps to create an anchor. Why anchors degrade over time and what to do to prevent it. The simple technique I've used to steer corporate meetings without anyone realizing, resolving the issue of bad outcomes from them. Why it is helpful to induce strong emotions in your subject, and what to do when you can't. What to do to make it almost effortless to create strong emotions in others. How to know if your efforts have been effective. The surprisingly simple yet effective technique I've used to steal agreement. How to hypnotize someone by reading a list to them. If you'd like to be able to effortlessly access minds directly in any situation... Or if you want to know how hypnotic anchors and triggers really work... Or even if you just love messing with people and want another tool to add to your kit... Scroll Up and Click the Buy Now Button Right Now!

Book Description
Always read the little book Dr Dunlap rolled a small library of about 30 books into his medical class and told them it was a monumental compilation of everything that was known about diabetes, published in 1920, before the discovery of insulin. He then held up a book of about 200 pages and said this was published in 1930, after the discovery of insulin. Always read the little book. Dabney Ewin has been teaching medical hypnosis for the past thirty years and in his experience he believes that a small book is likely to be a clear message by a knowledgeable author.. This simple but immensely powerful book is a testament to all the ideas that Dr Ewin wished he had known about when he first starting practising hypnosis. He has sought to make this publication as little as possible, consistent with the message of seeking to take a complicated idea and presenting it in the simplest way. The words and phrases are designed to give any beginning or experienced student a foundation about the working of hypnosis. Divided into five sections with a comprehensive reference section for further reading, this book can be taken one page at a time from the beginning or browsed through randomly.

Book Description
The 10th anniversary edition, now with a new preface by the author "A wonderfully smart, lively, and culturally astute survey." - The New York Times Book Review "Grand entertainment...fascinating for anyone curious about the perplexing miracles of how great television comes to be." - The Wall Street Journal "I love this book...It's the kind of thing I wish I'd been able to read in film school, back before such books existed." - Vince Gilligan, creator of Breaking Bad and co-creator of Better Call Saul In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the landscape of television began an unprecedented transformation. While the networks continued to chase the lowest common denominator, a wave of new shows on cable channels dramatically stretched television’s narrative inventiveness, emotional resonance, and creative ambition. Combining deep reportage with critical analysis and historical context, Brett Martin recounts the rise and inner workings of this artistic watershed - a golden age of TV that continues to transform America's cultural landscape. Difficult Men features extensive interviews with all the major players - including David Chase (The Sopranos), David Simon and Ed Burns (The Wire), David Milch (NYPD Blue, Deadwood), Alan Ball (Six Feet Under), and Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) - and reveals how television became a truly significant and influential part of our culture.

Book Description
The Original and Still the Greatest Book of Hypnotic Seduction Poetry. These seduction poems give you the ability to hypnotize women and give them post-hypnotic suggestions to adore and want you - simply by reading them some mildly erotic poems. The NLP for PUA Foreword explains the hypnosis and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) language patterns used to capture and lead a woman's imagination (and body) into bed. Here are some of the many positive comments I have received from men and women:"Women accept them because of their unobtrusive and romantic nature, without realizing the deep hidden commands that are taking place ..." (Richard G. Butler PhD DD)"Thanks phil they really do work astonishing well. esp when the 7 hypsosis secrets are applied" (Anon) "OMG!!!! This is amazing! Even this sample worked like magic!" (Bob) "wow... These rocked my life! Thanks!" (Anon) "My wife loves the poems and when I put her into a trance and read them to her I get Great results." (Bill) "I read your poem to one woman who I haven't touched in years....She is literally begging me now since getting back in touch with me (bumped into each other at work and was still horny for me anyway,) but now even more so, she is practically dripping thru the phone as I read poems to her....(she thinks I write them). She said she let her female friend listen and her friend said it made her panties wet (to stop it!!)." (Anon) "I'll be your spokes person!! Or that guy on the freeway with a sign saying "Phil is the MAN!" " Perrin "The only comment I have for you Phil is....when is the next book going to be available?....my girl told me to give you her opinion...so here it is... Gotta tell ya though, I read Sublimity to several females to see if it phased them (scientific study of course) and WOW!!! the response was very positive... (Anon) "I am a woman, and I used them with a man. I am very pleased with the results. I read several of them to him as I lay with my head in his lap.. reading softly and slowly, and gazing into his eyes when ever I could without losing my place. Watching his face go from 'but I wanted to watch TV', to interest and then tenderness was awesome! Thanks Phil for you poems, you newsletters, and you book!" (Jen)

Book Description
Performing Without a Stage is a lively and comprehensive introduction to the art of literary translation for readers of foreign fiction and poetry who wonder what it takes to translate, how the art of literary translation has changed over the centuries, what problems translators face in bringing foreign works into English and how they go about solving these problems. This book will also be of interest to translators, writers, editors, critics, and literature students, dealing as it does, often controversially, with such matters as the translator's fidelity to the author, the publishing and reviewing of translations, the nearly nonexistent public image of the stageless translator, and the value for writers and scholars of studying and practicing translation.

Into the Wild
Author: Jon Krakauer
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 0307476863
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • In April 1992 a young man from a well-to-do family hitchhiked to Alaska and walked alone into the wilderness north of Mt. McKinley. Four months later, his decomposed body was found by a moose hunter. This is the unforgettable story of how Christopher Johnson McCandless came to die. "It may be nonfiction, but Into the Wild is a mystery of the highest order." —Entertainment Weekly McCandess had given $25,000 in savings to charity, abandoned his car and most of his possessions, burned all the cash in his wallet, and invented a new life for himself. Not long after, he was dead. Into the Wild is the mesmerizing, heartbreaking tale of an enigmatic young man who goes missing in the wild and whose story captured the world’s attention. Immediately after graduating from college in 1991, McCandless had roamed through the West and Southwest on a vision quest like those made by his heroes Jack London and John Muir. In the Mojave Desert he abandoned his car, stripped it of its license plates, and burned all of his cash. He would give himself a new name, Alexander Supertramp, and, unencumbered by money and belongings, he would be free to wallow in the raw, unfiltered experiences that nature presented. Craving a blank spot on the map, McCandless simply threw the maps away. Leaving behind his desperate parents and sister, he vanished into the wild. Jon Krakauer constructs a clarifying prism through which he reassembles the disquieting facts of McCandless's short life. Admitting an interest that borders on obsession, he searches for the clues to the drives and desires that propelled McCandless. When McCandless's innocent mistakes turn out to be irreversible and fatal, he becomes the stuff of tabloid headlines and is dismissed for his naiveté, pretensions, and hubris. He is said to have had a death wish but wanting to die is a very different thing from being compelled to look over the edge. Krakauer brings McCandless's uncompromising pilgrimage out of the shadows, and the peril, adversity, and renunciation sought by this enigmatic young man are illuminated with a rare understanding—and not an ounce of sentimentality. Into the Wild is a tour de force. The power and luminosity of Jon Krakauer's stoytelling blaze through every page.
