      Doug O’Brien, NLP and Ericksonian teacher, said, “At first, I just gobbled Peter's book up like a delicious dessert. Then I went back and reread it slowly and deliberately because I wanted to savor every morsel of this delightful and fascinating tale. The book is both a personal memoir of one man's journey to a deep understanding of the human condition through the lens of hypnosis, and an extended teaching tale rich with lessons everyone can learn from.”

     Noted author and psychiatrist Dr. Lewis Mehl-Madrona, said: “Peter has written a delightfully playful book that reveals what hypnosis is and how it's done. Don't be fooled—beneath the silliness and the humor are pearls of wisdom worthy of the reader's contemplation and reflection. I particularly liked his stories about how to find enlightenment and about the difference between healing and curing. Peter also provides some excellent transcripts of his work, which will aid practitioner-readers in improving their techniques for eliciting belief systems during hypnosis. He includes helpful exercises such as the values hierarchy, and his play on words has always delighted me.”
