>>14391944Great book. The man was a genius, just incel level autism and sexual frustration. If he'd just allow himself to perceive rather than judge, he wouldn't have written the masterpiece he wrote, but he'd also not have become a resident at ADX Florence. He did not deviate from his reality, and in such missed out on all the realities that could have existed, but does that make myths and legends of a man? I personally prefer the middle way, but that's why no one will remember me.
>>14391925>>14391938I prefer the therapeutic approach as it combines the meta-socially useful, the focused self-help, and the pragmatic understanding for practitioners in explanation to insurance company and AMA "alternative usage". If you can bullshit those guys, you're as close to sound argument as necessary. IN that, Hypnosis by Tad James is a good beginner level intro, where are The Handbook of Clinical Hypnosis or Hypnotheraputic Techniques 2E is a more text-book delve. The Bandler and Grinder book Patterns I/II are great at explaining the two main models within therapeutic hypnosis.
If you want to start at the beginning, get
Practical Essay on the Curative Agency of Neuro-Hypnotism (1842), and then Hypnosis and Suggestibility (1933), followed by Hypnotism (1959). After than anything Milton Erickson is a great follow-up.
As For my pick:
King, Warrior, Magician, Lover: Rediscovering the Archetypes of the Mature Masculine by Moore and Gillette
Why? It's a good way to examine the self relative simple models of growth and what becomes in accomplishment or assessment some rounded archetypal view of a pragmatic investment in time.
A better question would be, how do I Min/Max my life with a book, and I'd say you get a PDF voice reading app, download a text from ZLibrary on to your phone, and hit a stationary air bike doing 45 minute bursts followed by 45 minute cool-downs, four times, while listening to the audio book.
For fun, First Blood by David Morrell
