In Non-Permissive Hypnosis & Covert Influence, Dr. John C. Barber and Dr. Alex Stone explore the groundbreaking field of subconscious persuasion-where hypnosis leaves the therapy room and enters the political arena, boardroom, classroom, and conversation. Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, historical propaganda, and real-time communication strategy, this book reveals how everyday language can bypass resistance and shape perception without overt permission.
