This book, based on the daily practice of one of Europe’s most successful hypnotherapists, will fascinate anyone looking for a deeper understanding of human nature. By means of simple exercises, the author shows what is needed to differentiate between well-meaning and manipulative people in our immediate surroundings. He provides us with protective mechanisms that work without rejecting the other person, and teaches techniques of trust, which suggest to the people around us that a connection is possible. Both practical and conceptually challenging, this book is for anyone with an interest in the human mind.
