What is the best (or at least an excellent) book on how to hypnotize others?
I want to learn how to self-hypnotize and hypnotize others, but I do not want to spend $50+ on the online things that in all probability do not work at all.

People can only be “hypnotized” if they already have a very “willing” personality and are easily persuaded. People can not actually be hypnotized and it’s very hard to do; it’s more like you give them certain thoughts and feelings and they are more open to consideration to them because they are in a deep state of relaxation. If you really want to learn about hypnosis read up on Freud because that was one of his things that he loved to do and was pretty successful at it as well.

“The Odds Against Me” by John Scarne page 223.
John Scarne attended and gave demonstrations of hypnotism for 40 years. He read every article he could find over those 40 years. He writes: “In conclusion, I do no hesitate to step right out and state unequivocally: “Hypnotism is a fake”".

Customer Review:
This book is essentially a script book for self-hypnosis. At the beginning of the book is a general induction you can use to induce yourself into a trance state, followed by a selection of 35 scripts for dealing with common issues and helping you to improve your life. You’ll find scipts for weight-loss, confidence, motivation, public speaking, lucid dreaming, better sex life and many others.
The book is marketed as using hypnosis while you’re awake. This may seem to make it different from other hypnosis books, unless you understand that you are using hypnosis every time you use your imagination and get absorbed by your inner experience – and for that matter any time you read any book that transports you into another world, the world described in that book and you become oblivious to your environment to a certain degree, you are in hypnosis – much like you are in hypnosis when you are absorbed in the action of the movie you are watching on TV. The only difference is that with TV you get to watch the images, and while reading the book, you create them in your mind, according to your interpretation of the words.
You can use the scripts in this book either by reading them, but you can also record them on a tape and just relax and listen to them. You should use whatever method helps you to engage your imagination better and create a more vivid subjective experience.
This book was created for non-hypnotists – however even a professional hypnotist, particularly those who are new to hypnosis, may use this book as an additional resource – just as they would use any other script (patter) book.
Near the end of the book is a section on hypnotizing yourself while you write. This has brought to my mind another book “The Einstein Factor” and the method called “image streaming” which you may also experiment with; as well as mind-mapping, which is particularly useful for drawing the information out of your subconscious mind.
The next section, Suggestion Template, guides you through a process which will help you to create successful suggestions that will be customized to your personality, preferences and your specific outcome.
The book contains few additional sections with useful information on supercharging your affirmation and getting the best results out of your self-hypnosis session.
