Hey guys so i just wanted to tell you all about my experiences with a book im reading at the moment,
Its called "Instant confidence" by Paul Mckenna and here are my thoughts

From someone who couldnt approach woman for years even with PUA Knowledge to someone today speaking to 10 + girls i think one of few reasons are this book.

With the book comes a mind shaping CD which you can listen to to reprogramme your mind, i would recommend it.

I use the CD regularly, once a month or so, and usually before going out.

I actually wonder whether this CD was a major influence on my life - I was floating rudderless at the age of 23, half arsed doing a PhD and not really moving in any direction. From January - March, I must have listened to this CD 3 or 4 times. And suddenly, in April, I exploded into life - I started working out, I started taking action, I started taking control of my life.

It could be pure coincidence. But its enough to make me think there is something in this.

Recommended.

I also listen to a lot of Paul Mckenna stuff.

He has a lot of programs very applicable to PUA stuff, and self improvement in general.

His best idea, one he admits is not his own, but that has the power to transform is as follows:

-when ever you feel negative about anything... stop and pause for a moment!
-review the images in your mind that come up when you think of this thing/situation/event/person etc.
-close your eyes, breathe, move the images further away from yourself, drain out the colour from the picture and remove the sound.
-put this image away.
-now think of all the things you can do to help the situation/how you could have handled things differently.
-make these new images Bright and Exciting and Surround Sound
- now bring up the old images, but before they can take hold, bring up the new more exciting images of you handeling the situation in a new exciting and fun way.

As Paul says, if you do this when ever ANYTHING negative comes up for yourself, you can quickly find yourself overcoming all sorts of obstacles in your life.

Just thought I'd share this as it has help me alot.

I love this book and the CD. Bought it the other week and I'd go as far as saying its the best purchase I've ever made. I use the CD to get in state, it works wounders for me, followed by some good tunes and I'm raring to go.

Defo reccomend.

Is the CD that comes with it like a slow hypnotic induction thing?

I find they don't work for me. It's frustrating! I think I'm too impatient to lay there for 25-30mins.

I bet the book itself has some good techniques though. Thanks

Yep, read this post and bought the book. I'm only on the second day but am impressed already. Normally I hate self help books, but I'd recommend this.

The CD is very odd when you first listen to it, I couldn't help thinking "I hope the neighbours don't hear this" but then just went with it regardless.

Thanks for introducing me to something new!

Use head phones, firstly the important overlays are targetted at either your left or right brain, this stops the wrong half absorbing the incorrect information, the phones also act as ear plugs to help reduce outside disturbance and of course, if it worries you, the neighbours won't hear a damn thing.

I have to say not something I'd ever really think I'd need to read but according to amazon good reviews aa well.

I would say the 'INSTANT' part is probabaly a crock. Developing confidence where there was none before is about mindset and realistically this is some thing that is achieved gradually over longer period, than the claimed 7 days just bear that in mind.

How do you know if you haven't tried it?

It's more about giving you the courage to go out and do what you want to do, once you've done it you'll get the confidence to do it more and get more confidence. It works to break down whats holding you back from making the step.

I'll be honest - I still use this CD. And when I do, it does actually give me 'Instant' confidence.

Well... It gives me instant something. When I listen to it, I end up jumping around my bedroom punching walls and being very fired up. So it definitely does something to me in an instant!
