Lighten Up! Lose Weight!: A 10 Week Self-Hypnosis Program [Paperback] Review

Some good thoughts and ideas.But sometimes you have to decode what the author is trying to say because the editing and writing is so poor.The book seems more like a rough draft before corrections were made. It is full of dropped words, typos and sentences that seem to have been randomly cut and pasted together. Here's one example - the well-known scripture from Ecclesiastes is quoted as "a time to read and a time to sew", when the words are actually "a time to reap and a time to sow" - obviously totally different meanings.While such errors add some humor, they also distort or obscure what the author is trying to say, as well as show a lack of attention to quality.

The ideas for self-hypnosis are very basic - and mostly focused on affirmations.Some of the suggestions the author tells you to make to your subconscious mind could produce negative results, such as that sugar is a poison to your body.There are many types of sugars in many kinds of foods, including fresh fruits, vegetables and healthy carbohydrates.You definitely don't want to teach your body to react to sugars as a poison.

As a psychotherapist and healing facilitator, trained in various forms of clinical hypnosis I had hoped this would be a good book to recommend to my clients, but I cannot recommend it to anyone.I gave it two stars because some of the content is useful, and the author is well-intentioned.However readers should be cautious in the use of some of the suggestions/affirmations recommended. In general, any suggestion or affirmation that has negative wording or possible negative consequences should discarded.
