I consider myself a fairly logical person who tries to find reason behind everything that's presented to me. So when I came to know about this book (it's rated pretty well on amazon), and that it deals with the subject of Hypnosis (or not), I had to read it. I have so many other books in my to-read list and with so little time, reading this was a make or break deal for me. If I found the whole system of hypnosis working (or logical and reasonable), I'd add similar books on my to-read list; if not, then I'd close this subject for a long long time, maybe forever.

Turns out the ratings on amazon are not fluke, neither is hypnosis; depending on how we define the latter. If we go by what we've been seeing in movies and other media, then actual hypnosis isn't much like that. The author goes out of his way -- I believe he had to, for similar reasons -- to declare that hypnosis isn't like what we've been hearing and reading. It can be something as simple as you wandering off in your head while talking to someone. And it can be something much more complex that can change the lives of people around the hypnotist, like sowing the seed of confidence in someone's heart or turning them from being gloomy and dejected to cheerful and full of life.

The first few chapters include author's ramblings (that's what I thought). But since I had to read the whole book, I kept going forward and turning pages. These chapters included a chapter on metaphors (called Meta4 here; that, apparently, would hypnotize the reader or something to that effect), a few chapters about his patients and one on belief system and/or self image. In these chapters, I was trying to find something that would hold my interest. Test cases are all right, but I wanted something that worked in real world.

Then the interesting portion of the book started. I didn't turn a hypnotist after reading the next few chapters, but I did find that the external and internal communication systems defined in these chapters work well in real life. Immediately after reading these chapters, I went to my first test subjects: my roommates. Turns out that the way a person fetches some information in his/her mind, and how he/she deals with visual, kinesthetics or auditory experiences can be figured out by reading the eye movements of that person. I also tested the theory on some other people. Though these movements are quite subtle, you can learn to read them like a pro if you're chatty and can hold the conversation long enough. And once you learn how to communicate in the same system as that of the other person, holding conversation for longer periods shouldn't be a problem. I've not become a pro in this as of now, since I'm not that chatty, but on those people whose eye movements I really noticed, this turned out to be true. Looking into other people's eyes and trying to find something can become creepy pretty fast, so I only use this on people I know until I have some more experience with this.

Following these are a few chapters about the brain's structure and working. There's not much related to actual hypnosis in these chapters, but the author has now created so much rapport with the reader that everything turns out to be interesting here as well. Either that, or author hypnotized me. ;)

At the end, the reader is introduced to anchors. This is a pro thing wherein you can evoke a negative or positive response from the other person just by touching him or her (not that simple). Though I could try and test the techniques outlined in previous chapters, anchoring is something I've yet to test. Though given the correctness of internal and external communication systems, I think this might work too.

So overall, this is a entertaining and informative read, not a deal-breaker in any situation. If you want to have *some* understanding of how people communicate and are ready to put in efforts for the same, this book can be a good place to start. And, as the author pointed out, your creativity can help you in finding out new and interesting ways of using hypnosis (if there's such a thing).

I picked up this book because, in recent months, I've developed an interest in body language and communication, and I must say this book didn't let me down. While again stating the fact that I'm still not a really great at this stuff, since I've not had a whole lot of practice, the kind of pleasure this understanding provides is really great. I am now turning my boat of self improvement and continuous learning towards the waters of Body language and NLP. While there's enough proof about Body language, Wikipedia says that there's some mixed evidence if NLP works or not, but that's something they said about hypnosis, isn't it.

Apple’s Magical iPhone Stick Revealed

It might not be a stunning breakthrough, but the secrets behind the magical sticks you can see in your local Apple Store have been published.

LONDON, ENGLAND - SEPTEMBER 22: iPhone 15 handsets go on sale at the Apple Store on September 22, . [+] 2023 in London, England.

Details on the display stand are in the recently published patent titled “Product Display Stand With Reduced Movement” (PDF Link). It relates to the long poles found in displays primarily found in Apple Stores worldwide.

The patent describes multiple features designed to keep the product at the top of the display stand in the same place. These include dampening any movement, quickly reducing any oscillations, and reducing the moments when a consumer interacts with the product.

The key to all of these is the damping chamber that can be found below the visible base of the stand. Typically, this will be under the surface of the table at an Apple Store—and with the traditional deep sides of these tables, there’s more than enough room to mask the patented assembly.

With most patents, there’s no guarantee that consumers will see the ideas in a physical product. This is not the case with Apple’s display stand. It’s on show in the Apple Store and has been visible at product launches.

Reviews for "connon mcgregog mascot"

1. John Doe - 2 stars - I was really looking forward to seeing Conor McGregor as a mascot, but I was hugely disappointed. The costume was poorly designed and didn't resemble him at all. The whole experience felt lackluster and did not live up to the hype. I expected more from such a popular and charismatic figure like McGregor.

2. Jane Smith - 1 star - I attended an event where Conor McGregor appeared as a mascot, and it was a complete letdown. Not only did he look nothing like McGregor, but he also lacked any of his signature charisma. It felt like a cheap attempt to cash in on McGregor's fame without putting in any effort to make the mascot resemble him or capture his personality. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time or money on this disappointment.

3. Chris Thompson - 2 stars - The Conor McGregor mascot was far from impressive. The costume was poorly made, and it was difficult to recognize that it was supposed to be him. Additionally, the person inside the costume didn't portray any of McGregor's energy or pizzazz. It felt like a missed opportunity to create an exciting and engaging experience for fans. I hope they improve the quality of the mascot in the future.

4. Sarah Johnson - 1 star - I was really excited to see the Conor McGregor mascot, but it was a huge disappointment. The costume looked cheap and tacky, with little resemblance to McGregor himself. It felt like a lazy attempt to capitalize on his fame without putting in the necessary effort to make it an enjoyable experience for fans. I expected better from such a high-profile character. Don't bother wasting your time on this lackluster mascot.
