Product Description
Flight instructor Jamie Forbes guides a woman to landing her plane safely after her husband loses consciousness, then flies on to his own destination unimpressed by his act...flight instructors guide students every day. Only after she tells reporters that a stranger appeared in an airplane alongside hers and hypnotized her into landing, and after he meets his own guiding stranger does he solve the bigger mystery: how each of us creates, step by step, what seems to be the solid world around us. The best mysteries are the ones whose answers lie in front of us, in plain sight. The best solutions are those moments when all of a sudden we realize what we've known all along.

Worth the wait - Buy this book!,
By Ariel Kane "TransformationMadeEasy.com" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hypnotizing Maria (Hardcover)
After 10 years Richard Bach has done it once again. In Hypnotizing Maria, Bach weaves a captivating tale where his hero, pilot Jamie Forbes, redefines his reality as he discovers the mystical side of his world and the power of suggestion.
This book will particularly appeal to: * Bach Fans who have enjoyed his earlier titles such as Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah, and The Bridge Across Forever: A True Love Story. * Those who have heard of "The Law of Attraction" but can't seem to get a handle on the concept. * Those who were once inspired by the principles in "The Law of Attraction" but have found their enthusiasm has dimmed. * Seekers who find they are attracted to things that happen "serendipitously" I found after reading this book I spontaneously opened up to new possibilities in my life - without working on myself to get there! I am already lending my copy to friends. 32 of 33 people found the following review helpful:

Taking Your Life off Auto-Pilot,
By Susan Donlon - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hypnotizing Maria (Hardcover)
After a much anticipated wait Richard Bach is back! And Hypnotizing Maria proves the wait was well worth it! Richard's latest novel takes us on the personal self discovery adventures of a pilot named Jamie Forbes. Richard puts forth, cleverly woven into Jamie's adventures, that unconscious "suggestions" which are given to us through culture and our up-bring shape our lives. Once we examine these accepted suggestions we are able to distinguish what is really true for ourselves and discover how to live in a more authentic and meaningful way - piloting your own plane.
I especially love Richard's writing style where his presentation of ideas or teachings are woven into "can't put the book down" entertaining and intriguing story that inspire the reader to take a look at how they are living their own life in a light easy way. The discoveries that unfold are eye opening, revealing and life inspiring. As we see with Jamie who has a series of events that trigger his taking a looking at his "accepted suggestions" the discoveries that unfold are all the more enriching, fulfilling and satisfying then he had never thought possible before. If you enjoyed Richard's novel I also recommend Ariel & Shya Kane's book called "Working on Yourself Doesn't Work: The 3 Simple Ideas That Will Instantaneously Transform Your Life". The Kanes are expert guides who have inspired thousands on how to ride out life's sometimes turbulence with ease and create a life flight path of well-being. And as with all of Richard's books I once again found inspiration, entertainment and time well spent in reading this his latest masterpiece, Hypnotizing Maria. Go ahead and ignite the engine on own life's grand adventures by reading Richard's amazing new novel. 43 of 48 people found the following review helpful:

Nice Vehicle For Discussing Subject,
By Meijer Bjorn "Author" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hypnotizing Maria (Hardcover)
Richard Bach's Hypnotizing Maria is a fictional book about a pilot that has different experiences on his solo trip from Seattle to Florida. The events seem random but at the same time seem to fit together.
Bach uses hypnotism and fiction as a vehicle to explain his views on how life works. His views on what is hypnosis is very broad. Bach explains his opinions on hypnosis and the Law of Attraction. The story begins with an airplane emergency and continues with very intriguing storyline through the first half of the book. The second half concentrates on the main character, Jamie Forbes, taking an introspective look at his past experiences. As an author whose book also delves into how life works, I usually stay away from similar books. I tend be overly critical if the author portrays the information in a way that promotes selfishness and excludes morals. I also am critical if authors state things magically happen and dismiss Karma. For whatever reason, I was drawn to Bach's story. Bach does an excellent job taking this fictional flight and weaving into it his views on life. Portraying his thoughts in this manner allows the reader to see his opinions in context. It also allows the reader the ability to decipher the subject easily and determine what information can be related to them. Bach's story brought up many questions, in a good way. When I am given information asking me to look at my beliefs, I have a basic way of deciphering it. It goes like this: 1. I have an open mind to the idea. A closed mind blocks out any possible knowledge to be gained. 2. I then question the idea. What is the motive of the author? How does this relate to what I know to be true. Am I keeping out any unsubstantiated beliefs of my own when questioning this idea? 3. I then decide if any of the information is worth pursuing or adding to what I know to be true. Bach's ideas about life really made me think. Though a few points I may disagree with, the majority of the information really made me question how his thoughts fit with what I believe. I highly recommend Hypnotizing Maria. |
