Study NLP - I'd suggest the book by Daniel Smith https://www.amazon.com/Banned-NLP-Secrets-Neuro-Linguistic-Programming-ebook/dp/B011DTK7MC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1540208033&sr=8-1&keywords=daniel+smith+nlp

Seriously, you will need to go through this whole book from front to back and do as it suggests - it can take years, but well worth it (even if you just go as far as breathing exercises)


Also:

The big thing with bad habits is not finding out how to quit them - it's finding the "triggers" and then avoiding the triggers. Make a journal with each instance of your habit that you want to break - write down what you were doing before the instance - you'll see a pattern pretty soon.

Recognizing the habit is a big step in the right direction. Recognizing the "triggers" is another huge step.

best of luck!

Read This book. If you actively apply the approaches covered in the book you will be surprised what you can remember. You have to make the effort to apply these methods in daily life or you won't get any use out of it.

Dark Psychology: Learn How To Understand Dark Psychology and Defend Yourself From Being Manipulated By Unmasking The Dark Side of the Mind

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XZFR1CT

If you wanted to know whether you're missing out on cues, this should not be that difficult to test. Baron-Cohen has put some tests online that measure empathy; a similar but interactive test could be administered by a trained psychologist within the space of a single 1h session.

There is a subset(?) of nonverbal comms that you can train consciously, just as you would consciously train elocution. Have a look at neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). There are unfortunately many people who purport to teach NLP without knowing the first thing about it, so if when you read or experiment with something you feel it is hogwash, chances are it is.

Perhaps the easiest techniques/cues are the following two:

proxemics (distance management)

You can tell how much confidence, trust, and intimacy there is between two people by how close they stand or sit next to each other. This is quite easy to experiment with and get a grasp on, as you can read the other people's reaction even without being good at social cues: if you are too close, they will move away, block (see below), or become uncomfortable. You can observe how people behave when they are comfortable/uncomfortable and develope your understanding further from there.

blocking

http://www.study-body-language.com/Defensive-body-language.html — be aware that sometimes folded arms or legs just mean that the person is feeling cold / has a short skirt and wants to be decent. The 80/20 rule applies: most of the time things are what they seem to be, but often they're not. Often the easier way to eliminate false positives is to ask: "Are you cold?" — "Yes, I'm a little bit cold."; I have learnt to verbalise and comment on cues as I go, and people do find my accurate observations amusing, as I often know what they're feeling before they do :-)

There's a good book on the Elman Induction that you can get free on Kindle Unlimited, and it has a number of other exercises in place of counting down numbers. There's a number of things you can do, or example, waves washing away letters of the alphabet, or closing the mind's eye.

For the lassitude, you may be talking about relaxation and using a soothing voice, and she may be picking up on that. Check out the Jeff Stephen's interview where he talks about focus over relaxation.

In addition to George's great suggestions (suggestions for suggestions, if you like)...what can you leverage? What won't happen if he doesn't quit? What will happen if he does, that's positive? Why does he want to quit? Make him prove it.


I think George will back me up on this, but that's also why most hypnotists charge a huge sum of money and only take people at threshold. I charge $500 for my smoking package. That's about half of what some charge. Why? Because if they're not willing to pay that, when smoking costs so much (financially and personally) it CAN mean they aren't all that serious. I mean, if the first year I'll save you ~$2k and your life, and you basically say...Nope. What's that say about their commitment? And if they aren't at threshold, all the suggestions in the world won't matter. That said, I do know of people who were at threshold that have quit with pro bono sessions. So there are no absolutes.


Beyond that, if you're going to do this regularly, I'd recommend Jess Marion, Shawn Carson, and Sarah Carson's Book Quit: The Hypnotist's Handbook To Running Effective Stop Smoking Sessions. That will give you a proven program (not just our disjointed advice), and it's only $9.99 on Kindle.

In all honesty mate, my best advice would be to learn about the techniques used in social engineering. This can span from NLP, building rapport, covert hypnosis and micro expressions and much, much more.

I started on this book ages ago and it was a great introduction to this whole world.

After you have an understanding of how body language and words effect peoples behaviour, then you can move on to more advanced techniques.

This guy has a great YouTube channel with so many videos about NLP and hypnosis. If you browse a few of them just to get a real, physical idea of how people use language, and what words can be emphasised for a specific purpose.

In terms of other books, Kevin Mitnick has a few good ones about his life (google him if you don't know who he is). And also a guy called Kevin Dutton wrote a book called Flipnosis - The art of split second persuasion

The other thing I would say, and I can't really stress this enough, is try to observe your own and others behaviour and understand why and how people say what they say and do what they do. I like to do this by sitting in a relatively busy cafe and simply observing what goes on and how people interact.

Hope this helps.

One more, for recommended reading. (I get no money from any links below, BTW. Look them up yourself if you wish.)

My friend Richard Nongard wrote this one, and it's excellent.
https://www.amazon.com/Hypnotize-Practice-Hypnosis-Hypnotherapy-Correctly/dp/0557097843

A nice help for learning MANY inductions, that you can then modify, and you will soon learn to do without scripts at all. https://www.amazon.com/Handbook-Hypnotic-Inductions-Norton-Professional/dp/039370324X

Another friend, Dantalion Jones. He tends a bit toward megalomania, and controlling others (which is largely impossible) but just ignore that. His techniques are quite good and he explains well.

I recommend virtually anything from Igor Ledochowski, the #1 hypnotist trainer. He's even better than me!

I just released a short book on NLP- Neuro Linguistic Programming. I am a practitioner and trainer and wanted to share some of the techniques that my clients find helpful without the jargon or going too deep. It's a brief introduction that has practical application. Available for 99 cents. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YM3Q41B

I just got this book. Just gonna stick with one book.

Ishmael (or any of the other books) By Daniel Quinn

Sugar Blues By William Duffy

Neuolinguistic Programming By various

and most important:

Thrive Lifestyle By Brendan Brazier

I still suck, but this helped me with the mental side of things:

Might help. Only started reading it, so not sure how effective it will be, but 4 1/2 ratings.

' What helped me a lot was reading “Unlimited Memory” which just taught me how to invoke different senses, think differently and memorize/understand a whole lot better. I know you didn’t ask but just thought I would share. ' Thanks a lot, for taking time to help :-)

​

I read about this book here (this CISSP Reddit group) a few weeks ago, I did add it to my kindle list but didn't read, I should have. I am going to start reading it.

​

For those who have subscribed to kindle unlimited, this book is part of it, so you could read it for free, otherwise, you could get it for 10 USD. Here is an Amazon's link.


Thanks again.

And yes, I realize Phil Helmouth gets a lot of shit from pros, but he has a particular view of the game and characterizing/categorizing villains that is unique and VERY helpful..

I suggest looking into the techniques that memorization champions utilize. They focus less on repetition and more on how they digest information. You can check out some books like Unlimited Memory or Moonwalking with Einstein.
