David Spiegel is the world's leading hypnosis scientist — fifty
years at Stanford spent proving that trance is a measurable brain
state rather than a stage trick, across thirteen books, four
hundred papers and roughly seven thousand patients hypnotised
personally. I told him to his face that I thought his entire
field was a scam, so he ran the hypnotisability test on me live
on camera, my left arm floated off the desk and stopped obeying
me for the next forty minutes, and he scored me seven out of ten.

Expect to learn what hypnosis actually is and the three
components it breaks down into, how stage hypnotists secretly
screen their audiences before the show even starts, what changes
in three separate brain networks the moment you go under, why
"suggestibility" is the wrong word and cognitive flexibility is
the right one, how hypnotised subjects cut their brain's
electrical response to pain by 50%, why one in four smokers quit
after a single session, the two very different childhoods that
both produce highly hypnotisable adults, why eight-year-olds are
the most hypnotisable people alive, how Rory McIlroy used
self-hypnosis to break a seven-year Masters curse, what it feels
like to have your own arm stop belonging to you, and much more…
