Hypnopoetics...: Modern Love Poems and Hypnotic Inductions Paperback – September 25, 2012

As a long time student of hypnosis and an ever-hopeful romantic, I found this book delightful to read and a pleasure to share. To have modern, romantic (erotic) poems to share with women about whom I care is wonderful.The fact that they are designed to be used in specific situations and for specific outcomes is a real plus. Phil takes a lot of the guesswork out of how to use these poems for maximum effect.While one may or may not believe in the power of hypnotic language and NLP, I for one have seen the craving that women have for more romantic language in their relationships. This book helps fill that void. Do yourself a favor and give these poems a try.

Guys, I have been involved in the NLP and Hypnosis World for many years. I bought this book as a training guide to help me improve my own skills. I was impressed with the poems but decided to put them to a much more aggressive test so I convinced one of my friends to use a poem on his online dating profile and remove his photo. As first he argued that photos get more hits but he did it anyway. Results are in, he got more hits in the first day of this experiment than his first month. He is getting private messages, chat messages, and of course they all want to see a picture but now they get to know him before he sends the photos.Great Job PhilDamonAffluent CoachAuthorCertified Clinical HypnotherapistNLP Practicianer

Purchasing this alone is great. These are excellent poems and they do elicit response as expected when used as directed (yes, that's an odd statement.)Buying this with it's companion is even better. Still, there's a disconnect. The companion should have been included in this book right from the beginning.

Phil Billitz has made a significant contribution to the literature of erotica and I find the testimonials quite believable. I have only two criticisms of the book, the first which can be said of many similar works: the offerings might be just a bit repetitive. The other is with the title. In the book's forward, Mr. Billitz admits to a literary agent that the poems are not really poems at all but hypnotic inductions.This is an admirable display of honesty and suggests the author knows what a poem is. Mark Yakich, a professor at Loyola University who teaches creative writing, wrote in the Atlantic, "A poem helps the mind play with its well-trod patterns of thought, and can even help reroute those patterns by making us see the familiar anew."I've no doubt many of these poems can be as effective as a Sinatra album in a candlelit room to stir the embers of passion that might be lying dormant in a woman's mind. But do they have the power to help a man see a woman differently--that is, in a way that"reroutes old patterns"?The danger, here, is that readers will see these inductions as poems, use them merely as inductions, and by relying on Mr. Billitz impressive athleticism with metaphors and poetic language, employ these inductions in a one-size-fits-all manner.I see nothing wrong with doing that but the man who allows Mr. Billitz to become Cyrano to his Christian will eventually be found out when he must put into words what he cannot because he has not immersed himself deeply enough within himself to discover the simple yet profound "poetry" of his own feelings.In the end, that's what most women want. We don't have to be Pablo Neruda or Gabriel Garcia Marquez but only a man who looks at a woman and sees something that no other man has or could.

As a student/admirer of NLP and hypnotic language patterns, this ebook is about the best that is out there in terms of experiencing seductive language patterns/poems/stories live and in action. Phil has created a wonderful ebook that is not only fun to use word-for-word with real people and see the results, but to also be able to build an NLP "muscle" of your own and start creating your own NLP language skillset. Phil, my hat's off to you and please, keep up the good work!
