Friedmutter uses her expertise in neurolinguistics and hypnotherapy to guide readers in realigning their conscious and subconscious minds, postulating that the often-suppressed subconscious mind serves as the instinctive intuition of one's authentic self. Exercises titled "Hypnotic Hacks" offer meditative tools to connect directly to the "inner divinity" of the subconscious or "SoulSpirit." The author urges readers to allay misconceptions about hypnosis in order to gain agency in their lives. "Through hypnosis I was able to confront my action, dissect my own behavior patterns and relationship dynamics." Six principles to activate the dormant subconscious are explored, but the key issue of individual accountability resonates most clearly throughout the text. According to Friedmutter, access to the subconscious is blocked until one's true self is acknowledged regardless of one's personal baggage. "Living a life connected to your subconscious means showing up every day with gusto and courage while expecting the exceptional."
VERDICT An enlightening read for those willing to dismiss cynicism for insight into self-sabotaging obstacles.
