To be fair to Mike Mandel he does make it clear that this is a limited list and a personal choice. As he says there could be another list of ten (and considerably more) but that isn’t what this post is about. List posts always stimulate comments and debate. They become an integral part of the post. In total there are about 20 other recommendations in the comments. That makes around 30 in all and many more could be added. That is the value of posts like this. It also has the advantage of getting other people’s perspectives. The list isn’t definitive, and doesn’t claim to be. But it ranks well on Google and that brought me (and, I’m sure, many others) to this site so. I believe. it’s a job well done by the writer,

I have a copy of The Encyclopedia of Stage hypnotism which is the actual copy that Paul McKenna learned hypnosis from.

I have tried to return it to him without success. It is very dated but a priceless insight into the old school methods.

Read Tom Zinser’s ‘Soul Centered Healing’. Hypnosis is used by Tom as a means of reaching deeper levels of consciousness where sub-personalities reside and where the inner self helper ISH or the soul’s higher self (H-S) are accessible for truly lasting healing results.

Having studied with John Kappas, I found his Personality theory and the tests to be huge tools for a therapist. The mother company of his business- Hypnosis Motivational Institute (in Tarzana, Calif),- was a metaphysical Org. He assisted many athletes to become quite exact in their sports through his techniques. I like all his books and kept them for reference material.

Awesome list! 7 out of 10 ain’t bad… Actually I was surprised that I read that many on the list! “The Wizard Within” is another good one that really influenced me.

Right now I am loving “You are the Placebo”… On audio book. Lol.

My next training will 100% be with Mike Mandel!

In reply to Joshua. Great suggestions. It was a top 10 list with Mike's personal choices, so tons of amazing books will obviously be missing.

In reply to keith Standen. I'm not familiar with it at all. Cal has another book that we did read and as with every hypnosis book you should pick up at least one good idea from it. Personally it would not be on my top 10 list. There are too many much better books.

What about ‘The Secret Language of Feelings’ by Calvin Banyan? I’m told this should be a definite read, any thoughts?

Why not Hypnotic Realities or Hypnotherapy by Erickson/Rossi? I don’t want to knock other people, but I’ve gotten more from those two books than all from of the other books in your list I’ve read combined… And they’re more helpful for the practically minded, less research and theory-focused reader than the collected papers, IMHO.
