This is a very strong hypnotic script

I was expecting a very light induction like his first book but this one put me full under hypnosis. I have tried many hypnotic recordings and only one other has better effects than this one and that one was 30 dollars from an NLP master.

My only complaint is that sometimes the volume changes in the story would bring me back up to full awareness and a warning for parents this book may be too complicated for very little kids it raised many questions in my cousin when I tried it with him. I think an added kids introduction that explains that the story is like a silly dream that takes place in a world where things work differently than in our world and that for the magic of the story to work the kid needs to want it to and just relax and listen would help

Works like a charm!

This really helps my kids (and myself!) relax. I gave performance a low score because once it's over, and you're relaxed or asleep, a loud voice says we hope you enjoyed this.... and it wakes you up!

INCREDIBLE!!

(Used Audible version)
This worked so fast to get my 18 month old son to sleep. We have been having a hard time getting him to bed without crying, fussing, and struggle. This story is the most amazing thing I've used to help my guy fall asleep. If you're bed time experience is as rough as mine has been, I HIGHLY recommend this audio book.

Zzzzzzzz

This story relaxes my three little ones. In about ten minutes they are asleep and waking up refreshed and energetic. I sat in the room with them to listen and found my eyes getting heavy. I had to rush out of the room before I fell asleep.
