This is a great book for a newbie – if you have not yet started, but want to – then this is a good starting place. If you don’t achieve what you want in the first 90 days, give it 6 months to try again. It is very basic which is what some people need.
One related book that is very powerful if you read it with a different eye is: How to make a Manchurian Candidate: the Soviet Art of Brainwashing: A synthesis of the Soviet Textbook on Psychopolitics
Be careful!

I have read most of the book. I won’t say that it is useless, but that it is rather disapointing. NLP is a very powerful set of practices for influencing other people. The name of the book is the one thing the author did that succeeded in convincing me to buy this book. The book is mainly about how to become a successful salesperson, almost nothing about other practices of covert hypnosis. Thus the name of the book suggests a wider scope. Throughout the book, the author seem to plant the messages “buy my other stuff” and “use my knowlege”, and he seems to do it in a very ineffective way. If at least he was able to use covert hypnosis more effectively for that, the way Bandler and Grider (the original developers of NLP) did, then I would be tempted to believe I can learn a lot more from him.
Yet, the book is not useless. Some of the things written in this book are deep understanding of the selling business.

This is a good book with quality information. Kevin Hogan has written several good books on persuasion. I have read Psychology of Persuasion, Covert Persuasion and Covert Hypnosis in that order. Although a decent amount of the information in this book is covered in Covert Persuasion, there is a substantial amount of new information and tactics that can be applied to many situations in life. Overall this is a nice read for someone that would like to raise the bar at work and elsewhere.
Working in the Formula Race Car of Sales “metaphorically speaking” anything that can give me an edge is worth looking at.
Good job again Kevin

I typically don’t write reviews about books but I found most of the reviews here extremely un-helpful. First covert hypnosis is not really traditional hypnosis. No one is being told, “Sleep!” It’s also different from conversational hypnosis which gives strong attention to language patterns.
Covert hypnosis is about changing behavior at a deeper drive level. In other words you not only have someone do something but have them eager to do it.
The strategies, techniques, and tools Kevin Hogan present are so easy that a 12 year old can do it. Some people say when they learn how it’s done “that’s it”. Well yes succeeding can be had with simple changes.
What’s great about Kevin Hogan is that he tests everything to see if it works in the real world. So everything he presents is groundbreaking science.
Covert hypnosis has been used for decades. Only now is it being discovered how it’s used. In fact I believe it was Kevin Hogan invented the term covert hypnosis.
I was reading two reviews below and I was surprised that people didn’t really understand what Covert Hypnosis is. If you didn’t know what is really was its okay it’s not your fault. Covert hypnosis has been used by politicians and if you discover what it is you can see how it’s used in the bible. Note: it’s used a lot.
One reviewer about his grammar, I’m no expert in English but I’m not sure I really care.
When you use Covert Hypnosis you get results. At least I have.
I found this book to be life changing for me. I was surprised by how much I didn’t know about human behavior. This book really helps you understand people, what motivates them and how to make a positive impact in their lives.
I can see where salespeople will love this. I use it for marketing. Most people will probably take the sales and marketing directions and apply them to relationships.
I have to recommend this book.
