“People have lots of false impressions about hypnosis across the globe. ‘Cathal O'Briain’ has done wonderful work to present factual information on hypnosis and its applicability in the book ‘Powerful Mind through Self-Hypnosis’. The readers shall be benefited irrespective of their previous knowledge on hypnosis because of systematic presentation of rich material on hypnosis and its application as a tool to master the mind. I recommend the book for every student and practitioner of Psychology and other healing modalities using power of mind. This is one of the best books on Self-Hypnosis I have come across during my practice of Psychological devices over a period of about three decades.” ~ Dr. J. P. Malik, Founder & Director, Indian Hypnosis Academy

"Cathal O'Briains "Powerful Mind through Self-Hypnosis" offers a clear and practical approach to hypnosis. It's insight and clarity make it a 'must have' for those willing to embark on a path to a better mind, body and spirit."

"As a long-term advocate of hypnotherapy and the healing power of the subconscious mind, I used to routinely give out old dog-eared copies of Leslie Lecrons classic masterwork 'self-hypnotism' to my clients and also my friends and certain family members as presents. Recently I started doing so again with Cathal O Briains new work which seems to me to be the natural heir to Lecrons brilliant but very dated masterpiece. The world of hypnotherapy has moved on significantly in the last 45 years. Cathal O Briain is a natural writer and allied to his obviously deep grasp of the subject of hypnotherapy has created a highly readable, refreshing guide to controlling ones destiny. I believe this book is an important addition to the global hypnosis canon because it offers the oft-esoteric secrets of hypnotherapy to the client and layperson on a silver platter whilst never neglecting the highly responsible, safe and ethical dimensions of the field. In short I would recommend this book to all and sundry and I find it genuinely exciting to have a top-calibre writer evangelizing our work to the masses. I feel that this will be the definitive work of its kind in our field for some time." ~ Finbarr Moloney, Speaker for the Hypnotherapy Association ICHP PGA

"All my life I had a stammer and over the years I learned how to control it most of the time. Now pursuing a career as a Garda (Irish Police Force) I want to always have control over it. Just before I enrolled for speech therapy sessions I came across this book. I got great help and with the techniques to programme the 'beat' into my mind, I now talk with a rhythm 'to the beat'. A very inspirational book. I now have power I never knew I had. Thanks." ~ Keith Dawson, Close Protection Officer

"Cathal O'Briain's Powerful Mind is an excellent, comprehensive and easy-to-follow practical guide to re-training your brain for success in several different areas of life. Using methods of self-inducing trance and hypnosis, he guides you through the process helping to combat many common complaints such as weight problems or unhealthy addictions. Highly Recommended." ~ Tania Ahsan, Editor, Kindred Spirit Magazine

A great book for those readers who want to understand the power of the mind.  It is well written in easy to understand terms, is well researched and is a valuable work/handbook.  It is a valuable tool that will help the reader to re-programme their approach to life, helping them to achieve happiness and success.

In this clear and practical book the author draws on his own clinical experience to explain the nature of hypnosis and suggestion, and the use of imagination and visualisation. Ther are special chapters addressing various additions, weight loss and different allergies. Finally there  is a section on self-hypnosis to improve sporting performance.

Cathal O'Briain takes a unique psychoanalytical view of the therapeutic process involved with self-hypnosis and emphasizes its benefits for the average person desiring to move beyond his or her limitations. This book is all-encompassing with laws of suggestion, freudian and Jungian theories, and explanations of methodlogies that are likely to help readers transform a wide variety of personal goals. ~ Allen Chips, PhD., Author and Speaker

As a Doctor of Psychology and of Clinical Hypnotherapy with 20+ years in the field of hypnosis, I can say with much certainty, this is one of the clearest and easy to follow books on hypnosis I have read. Many books attempt to over complicate this simple and powerful tool. Hypnosis is truly easy to understand and easy to use for anyone to work with, and this book will help you on your path to empowerment. ~ Matthew B.
