Nearly 30 years ago, one of our Daily Pilot reporters had his name in the paper for all the wrong reasons.
Richard Sutphen is hoping to show others what 2012 has in store for them. As the featured speaker for the upcoming Coptic Southern Conference, Sutphen said he will “project the audience forward in time and let them witness for themselves what will happen,” using hypnosis techniques.

User Ratings and Reviews

1 Star Great title- horrible book. Don’t waste your money on this one!
I was intrigued by the title and was truly impressed by the scope of the table of contents. I was quite happy to receive my book and to start right in on it. By page 14 I was wondering when it was going to start… but it never did!

This book offers a finger-tip massage when they need to go deep tissue. There is literally nothing substantive in here! The military language patterns are a joke. BTW, it would have been a great idea for the authors to put the imbedded commands in a different font or italics for those new to covert hypnosis to know when to change their tone of voice. You also (usually) need to incorporate several patterns at a time for optimal success. This book offers precious few patterns and a joke of a demonstration of them.

Read Trance-formations by Richard Bandler, or Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H. Erickson, or even Tony Robbins book Unlimited Power instead (the authors are obviously sad Tony Robbins wannabes).

This book is a pathetic waste of time, money, and space on your bookshelf. Look elsewhere.

Don’t get ripped off like I was- you’ve been warned.

5 Stars Great little book on persuasion
This books is fantastic on persuasion. It is precise and clear on getting to the point quickly. I have it kept on my desk when wanting to use persuasion in my work or any other area of my life. Great book. When would now be a good time to purchase this book.

4 Stars Useful techniques to help you get what you want
Reviewed by Paige Lovitt for Reader Views (12/06)

“Power Persuasion” was written by David. R. Barron and Danek S. Kaus. Barron is a communication and persuasive expert trained in Hypnosis, Neuro Linguistic Programming, and Social Influence. Kaus is a former clinical hypnotist. He has trained doctors and nurses on how to use hypnotic medical techniques. Both authors apply their expertise into this book. They give you the techniques that you need to use to influence, friends, loved ones and business associates. They say that this book will “Give you the tools to help make your dreams come true.”

Persuasion is defined as, “that seemingly magical ability to influence other people and yourself.” The techniques offered here will give you a better understanding of how the mind works. Whether or not using these techniques is right or wrong is based upon your intentions of why you are using them. The authors do not recommend that you use these techniques for improper purposes. The goal is to do good for oneself and the other party involved.

Every chapter offers exercises to assist you with perfecting each technique. These are not skills which will be acquired overnight. The exercises are very interesting and seem fun. The goal of this practicing these techniques is to have fun and maintain your sense of humor. You will also need to set specific goals so that you will know exactly what you want. You will improve on your body language and conversation skills. Some of the techniques for these skills are derived from Neuro Linguistic Programming. These techniques will also help prevent miscommunication.

I found this book to be very interesting and easy to understand. I look forward to seeing how well I progress as I practice the exercises. To progress, I will be reading “Power Persuasion” many times. I see it as an invaluable tool for improving on my communication skills with others. The techniques presented including mirroring and matching will help in my communicating with people that have limited English skills. I encounter these people daily. In addition to becoming an expert at persuading others, I also feel that I will be able to recognize when others are using these techniques on me. All things considered, I highly recommend this book.

5 Stars Tools to Make Your Dreams Come True
David Barron and Danek Kaus in “Power Persuasion” have provided an amazing strategy for helping you make your dreams come true. They provide step by step instruction, using many of the most powerful persuasion tools and techniques available. The book will show you how to influence people by developing the magical art of persuasion.

I am eager to put into practice some of these skills in my business and social relationships to encourage others to believe in themselves helping them to attain the realization of their goals

The authors use military linguistic patterns in examples to illustrate how to use lead questions and statements in a conversational style to produce logical choices based on perceived anticipated benefits. I enjoyed the challenge of learning to use “weasel words,” “embedded commands,” “modal operators,” and “metaphors” in the process of influencing others.

You will be amazed at the new positive behavior you experience as you work through the suggested exercises. These exercises are designed to stimulate your imagination, your communication, and your persuasive skills. You will learn how to develop the use of your subconscious mind, how to improve your sensory acuity, and how to recognize when you have established rapport in a relationship.

Put this book on the top of your “must read” list. You will find it to be one of the most powerful instructional tools available today.

2 Stars Dissapointing, considering…
that David Barron has some excellent audio and video products. I was really expecting great things from David when I purchased this book, based on some of the other quality items I have of his. But there is nothing new hear in this very brief book that hasn’t been covered more extensively in other NLP and sales related books such as Donald J. Moines’ “Unlimited Selling Power,” a must have for any sales person.

Bynbsp;Andy Kaiser Article ID: 1310 Imagine you're sitting at home on your favorite overstuffed armchair. You sink down in the stuffing and relax. You've got a cigarette in one hand, a drink in the other. You smoke and drink. You're sleepy, and the lazy trail of cigarette smoke is a gentle hypnosis. It lulls you into closing your eyes. Your brain decides it would rather be dreaming, and the rest of your body agrees. You go to sleep. You never again wake up. After your hysterical neighbor
Conversational Hypnosis is what we see in Star Wars when Obi Wan waves his hands in front of the guards. The interesting thing is: This is real! There was a bank robbery where someone hypnotized the cashiers to hand him money!
