Hope these help. I am looking into the possibility of uploading my personal HD copies of it somewhere but DRM is a bug bear.

Sham: How the Self-Help Movement Made America Helpless is a pretty good book on the subject as well.

Realistically? The Complete Idiot's Guide to Hypnosis is a good place to start. Does not assume you know anything about psychology or have a background in academia.

I would recommend You The Healer by Jose Silva and Healing Yourself with Self-Hypnosis.

I found Paul McKenna's book/CD "I Can Make You Thin" quite effective. As well as listening to the hypnosis tape, he also recommends thinking of your hunger on a scale of 1 to 10 whereby 1 is stuffed to the point where you have to vomit and 10 is so hungry you're just about ready to eat your own arm (the scale could be the other way round but I don't have the book with me to check). Anyway he suggests that you should always try to keep your appetite in the 3 to 7 range - eat something before you get ravenous and stop eating when you are number 7 amount full.

Paul McKenna's book. Available on Amazon as a person who smoked for far too long and tried to give up 4 times, this will make it like you never smoked... trust me!

How can you not use NLP in self development?

What you want to do for your client is to create change as easy and effectively as possible.

Generate resourceful states by manipulating submodalities, then anchor those states into your clients so they can produce certain states when needed.

Also, you might want to destroy limiting beliefs and install new beliefs.

NLP is a vast topic, and there are hundreds of patterns availible. You have to use the right tool for the right job.

Elicit the clients obstacle, present a solution/goal/outcome, then you may use a combination of patterns to generate change.

My friend, I can relate. I developed an extreme fear of flying when I was in college, thanks to a bad flight. I can now happily say, though, that I'm fairly comfortable flying. Before your first trip, go to the doctor and get a prescription for Xanex. I take some every time I fly and it essentially makes it impossible for you to have a panic attack, which is really the worst case scenario. Another thing that helped me a lot was a hypnosis CD I bought on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Overcome-Fear-Flying-Glenn-Harrold/dp/1901923371 Seriously, this shit works. Ultimately, however, the only way you will get over your fear of flying is to actually do it. And again and again and again. Trust me, though. You can do it. Feel free to PM me for more help.

Self-Empowerment through Self-Hypnosis: Harnessing the Enormous Potential of the Mind https://www.amazon.com/dp/0738719285/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_PDDwCb97AY75B

I couldn't recommend this book more. Real hands-on tools for use in your day to day life that you can put to use immediately. As well as the science behind everything you can do that affects your mood/happiness.

How Master Self Hypnosis Weekend by Rick Smith.

He teaches you self hypnosis while you are hypnotized.

It's got your name in it! If it isn't, I'll use the book to make it your favourite.

Quit Smoking Today Without Gaining Weight

You need to accept you eat for reasons other than hunger and as a veggie, protein intake isn't an issue if you do some research. Did you know that thin people don't give a shit what they eat? The difference between fat and thin is why they eat.

Protein: Quorn, I know it's available in the US, find it And try it. An egg white omelet with 4 whites, a sprinkle of feta or parmesano cheese and a diced tomato, salt and pepper with a slice of the highest protein content toasted bread you can find. Slather it with hot sauce.

Stop eating too much but make sure you eat enough.

Both are huge issues for the overweight. Your body will lay every extra calorie down as fat if you routinely eat an inadequate amount of calories.

Interesting read

Am a sucker for cool cover art

I used to have a pretty severe fear of heights. I got over it in college by playing a year-long game of D&D where I played a bird-like creature that could fly. (Intentionally picked that, actually, for this reason.) I think imagining that you enjoy the outdoors on a regular basis would help.

Also, this: http://www.amazon.com/You-Can-With-Self-Hypnosis/dp/0139766138 I've had this book help so many friends who wanted to quit smoking, lose weight, stop whatever they couldn't get themselves to stop.

(Nothing bothering me was what I'd call "crippling", mind.)

HTH!

In that case, have you ever heard of Steve Salerno and his book, Sham: How the Self-Help Movement Made America Helpless? https://www.amazon.com/Sham-Self-Help-Movement-America-Helpless/dp/1400054109/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1494136615&sr=8-1&keywords=Steve+salerno

My, oh my...

"NorCal" is short for Northern California. He lives in Northern California. He included his location in his username. There isn't any sort of conspiracy to be found in his username, Golfman.

I recommend you check out this book:

I'm not entering, but my fiance has HORRIBLE insomnia, and I go through bouts of it. We both find Amy Applebaum hypnosis helpful. I hope you get some rest soon, I totally feel your pain.

Also, self-help is a scam meant to take advantage out of America's faux-individualism, which is why I don't bother rebutting people like /u/jgrowl because scam victims (including cult followers and MLM salesmen) are not worth arguing with since they don't listen to people who know that it's a scam.
