To call a book a Bible implies a certain authority on its subject matter. It certainly was a leap of faith to buy this book without being able to look inside, and based on only two reviews.My father always told me that a sign of a good book is an index. When it arrived, to my initial dismay, it had no index or a contents page. Leafing through it my momentary dismay turned to joy as I noted the contents were indexed alphabetically.I looked up every different pattern I could think of. In the process, I discovered, and you may discover too, patterns used not only by Erickson, but also Bandler, Derren Brown, Tad James, Steven Lankton, Ernest Rossi and other luminaries. In addition, a plethora of other nlp patterns one could use in coaching, or hypnotherapy.If you're like me, its not necessarily a book you'd read through cover to cover. You might think, reverse yes set, or confusion pattern, or negation, or embedded commands, or reverse double bind, hypnotic questions, or reverse set double bind and then look it up. Alternatively, you might leaf through and see what catches your attention, like a dictionary. I racked my brain, and could not think of any type of pattern that was not in the book.When you look up these patterns you will usually find the pattern structure described followed by numerous examples. You can then use them or develop your own patterns for use in different contexts.A couple of patterns were not explained, just examples given.So, this book is a valuable resource which I am pleased to own, and I look forward to practising the thousands of patterns contained on its 670 pages. I commend it to you for your consideration.I hope this was useful.
This is one of the best books on hypnotic language provided you know EXACTLY what you are looking for. The book has NO contents and NO index and it's way too thick ti just read as you would a nove. However it is complete and it contains lots of info. Four stars on the lack of index and/or contents.
Comprehensive is not an accurate term for this work. It is a masterpiece for those in the field of conversational hypnosis. It can take years to master all the information in here. Superb.
This book was something I took the better part of 2012 to read many times to digest the high quality information contained between the covers. The author has done a wonderful job of compiling and incorporating many hypnotic language patterns in such a way that it will always be on my shelf in my library. Great Book!! Highly Recommend!!
The 2015 updated Kindle version has a full Table of Contents with hyper links to every language pattern covered in the book. Coupled with the fact that the book is set out like a dictionary with all of the language patterns listed in an A - Z format, the new hyper links make it even more user friendly. The Language Pattern Bible is written in a conversational way making it easy to read as well as being highly informative and containing lots of examples which the reader can quickly put into practice.
