Whose Reality Mine or Yours
Author: Sloan, Jones

Whose Reality Mine or Yours is a definitive look at the way we create our sense of reality. (A compact disc containing scripts and exercises is also included with the book.) It is the culmination of Sloan's 30-year effort to comprehend human behavior through the study, research and practice of hypnosis. While the book focuses mainly on the w... more »ay we create our perception of the world, it crosses an amazing variety of subjects, including the three parts of the brain and its relationship to hypnosis; a brief evolution of hypnosis; children and suggestibility--perceptions based on stimuli, programming and responses; emotions; forensic hypnosis; split personalities; and the influence parents, teachers, doctors and people of authority have on us as individuals. The central themes of the book are: What forms a personality? And, why do we respond to situations with emotions the way we do? According to the author, "Once you understand how programs are created, you can learn how they can be reprogrammed with immediate results." Whose Reality Mine or Yours introduces the readers to new ways of thinking about behavior. The book is designed to change public attitude and private lives alike. It's a unique systhesis that can help us rethink how we run programs from our past, based on Sloan's quality, quantity, and lack of opposition theory. It demonstrates that rationality and logic are just shadows of the mind. The author uses a number of parables to emphasize perception. "The Allegory of the Cave," written in 360 B.C. by Plato is used to illustrate how reality changes as we expand our world of experiences. Other allegorical references include the tale of a Buddist monk who teaches children about the Buddha and our reaction when something big, black and hairy jumps out of the bushes. The young-girl on the front cover of the book peers into the mirror. What does she see? The many perceptions of herself, include a beautiful mature-woman, a cheerleader, and a tomboy. Does she see what her mother sees? Does she see what her teachers and friends see? Sloan's unique approach to hypnosis will quell any myths about the efficacy of hypnotherapy. Unlike most books on hypnosis that merely compile unrelated allegories or fail to provide a clear definition of the subject, Whose Reality Mine or Yours presents Sloan's definition: Hypnosis is a non-critical state of suggestibility with increased awareness, between awake and asleep, which occurs during the process of storing, retrieving, and processing information. Whose Reality Mine or Yours shows the interrelation between the way the brain functions and the way past programs, influenced by teachers, parents and the society, govern our lives. The book demonstrates how 99 percent of our responses in a day are outside our conscious control. The final chapters are Sloan's fundamentals of hypnosis and hypnotherapy--instructional material taken from the college courses he teaches. The General Behavior Change CD (included with the book) is an abstract therapeutic session. The scripts are recorded in both Stan and Sue's voice for your convenience to choose the voice most comfortalbe for you.
