Great, 19 Jul 2008
Ive never used a hypnotherapy c.d. before so i didn't know what to expect but this was great I've used it basically everyday for 2 weeks and i saw a big improvement in my mood and outlook. the reason i didn't give full marks is because you have to keep listening to it everyday for it to keep working (I missed a day and my mood dropped) but perhaps after a few weeks this is not necessary I'll wait and see.
"Dayper and Daypaahhh...", 26 Feb 2008
Being an American, my first reaction to Glenn Harrold's accent within a hypnotherapy recording was "Heeee heee heeee, get outta here -- you're joking, right??!" But I now own 3 of his CDs and listen to all of them regularly, so there must be something to it when he says his voice will take me "dayper and daypaahh." Now I have come to associate that accent with relaxation and positive feelings. (Imagine if I relocated to south London? I'd feel great all the time!) But seriously, there's a reason Glenn has been so successful. If you open your mind and relax as he instructs you to, the positive suggestions really do take hold. I am NOT a happy camper when I awake in the morning, but this morning after listening to Track 1 I was actually dancing around my living room to the music at the end, singing along "...I believe in flyin' hiiiiggghhhhh..." (Please don't tell anyone this.)
After devoted listening to Glenn's CDs and some from Paul McKenna over the past 4 months, I am a much happier person. I would recommend them to anyone who can manage enough of an open mind to give them a fair try.
These Work!, 05 Mar 2007
After only a week of listening to this tape, I felt more relaxed at work, more confident in myself and definately able to think more positively. I also sleep better and have stopped having nightmares. Also, I listened to the weight loss tape and started excersizing for the first time in 2 months. I don't think the tapes would work the same on everyone, and you may need to listen a lot for them to be very effective, but it's definatley worth having a go. If nothing else, it will definately relax you. I would recommend these cds/tapes to anyone who would like to change anything in their life for the better.
Positively effective, 13 Oct 2006
Once you get past the childish urge to imagine the hypnotist saying, "And where are they now, the little people of Stonehenge?" a frivolity based on Harrold's Nigel Tufnel-like accent and delivery (Spinal Tap fans, beware!), this CD really does work to take you into a positive mindset. The initially skeptical listener will have to suspend their disbelief at the effectiveness of the hypnotic techniques used, which rely on a combination of a soothing voice augmented by simple recording studio effects such as reverb and panning from left to right plus soft New Age music, but once one overcomes such hurdles and surrenders to the power of relaxation and suggestion, this really does pay off. I found myself feeling - and thinking - more positive after the very first listen, with repeat listenings only serving to reinforce this new frame of mind. Recommended.
learn to live it, 05 Feb 2005
This CD works - if you let it.
If you have never heard Glenn Harrold, then believe me his accent takes some getting used to. However just allow yourself to be inducted by the "South London Geeza", and you will reap the rewards. As with all of his CDs, the scripts are first rate, and very positive. His use of voice is certainly quite effective, and the background music is well edited and not too anoyingly new age.
If you buy and listen to this then you are aiming to reprogram your established thought patterns. In my experience this is not something that happens overnight, and is certainly harder if you dont allow yourself to relax into the process. After a month of repeated listening it is now really working many subtle wonders.
I highly recommend this CD as well as all of his others. I find them all very relaxing and positive experiences. As an aside, I would also highly recommend Nick Kemp's CDs which are very different but equally enjoyable.

really works, 03 Jun 2008
This CD works but you must listen to it as often as possible. It does not have actual techniques for remembering things but it takes away the self doubt and reminds you that you do have a good memory and it is just that you keep telling yourself you don't! It definitely increased my concentration as well. I always listen to it as I'm going to sleep. If you want to know a great book that includes techniques to enhance memory buy HOW TO PASS EXAMS BY DOMINIC O BRIEN I would give that book 5 stars! After reading it I can honestly say I can remember anything I want to! If you gave me 100 words to learn in order I could NOW bet you £1000 pound that I could remember them!!! So definitely think the two work great together!
A strong one in a great series, 07 Nov 2007
I found this did work, although I've only listened once to each track so far. And I didn't really expect it to work. It is hard to believe how it could work wonders if you have serious, possibly organic memory problems, but definitely seems to have some benefit.
I think you'd have to take some other measures, like perfecting mnemonic techniques and address underlying health issues, to significantly improve your memory overall. Glenn does give basic instructions for a simple menmonic technique, but you'd be best of reading more on the subject if you want to utilise it in earnest. The benefits I noticed seemed to be more about confidence in recall, independent of techniques used, which if it really is the case and lasting, is impressive.
As for Glenn Harrold's style, voice and other features of this CD, please check my review of his Complete Relaxation for a factual, detailed description.
Personally useless, 20 Aug 2007
The CD offers help in developing a powerful memory through a hypnotic technique. Having a short memory I tried but am afraid it had no effect whatsoever in fostering my memory.
Its worth every penny, 21 Jun 2007
I have to say I am a little skeptical towards solutions that seem easy and too good to be true. However, I decided to try this one out especially after I red the reviews from others. I have to say I give this CD my highest recommendation. I do not know if my memory has improved but I do know that every time I am having a bad day I listen to this CD before I fall asleep and wake up the next morning feeling brand new, positive and energetic. One thing is strange though my dreams have changed..
Wow!, 21 Jun 2006
This CD is amazing. I started listening to it a few weeks before sitting 4 exams and I can honestly say that it made learning much, much easier. In just a few minutes I was able to read and recall information that would, from past experience, have taken hours to learn. The first thing I noticed was remembering things from my childhood that just popped into my mind, e.g. places and names of friends & neighbours from 35 years ago. This is a powerful tool and I will certainly be trying other CD's by Glenn Harrold.

More "Hmmm.." than "Zzzzz..", 09 Oct 2008
I'm sure the theory behind this CD is great, its very well put together, and yes, it probably will work for many people.
But I'm afraid Glenn Harrold's accent quite simply drives me mad.
If you're happy being lulled into a trance by a voice that sounds like one of the cast of East Enders, go ahead and invest - but as a Northerner, this just doesn't work for me at all :o(
good, 07 Jul 2008
While this cd is obviously tailored towards a stress filled society and is to be recommended for that I personally enjoy the relaxing music `tears of spring which I got from amazon.co.uk. The cd I possess have a variety of stunning sounds tailored towards the relaxation market which I can recommend anyone looking into this particular genre. If you like the feeling of floating away from your problems then this cd will do it
Wonderful, wonderful zzzzz.............., 02 Jul 2008
I love this CD, the breathing techniques are useful and on the second track there is a visualisation of a visit to a garden, supposedly going on to a beach - I have never got there because I am fast asleep by then, so it is really really effective.
Glenn's accent and voice are so soothing it is a must have as far as relaxation is concerned. The quality of the recording is astounding (no background hiss on the silent bits) and I will definitely buy more of his work - get it!
Better than expected..., 21 May 2008
This is the first ever hypnosis CD I've ever bought, so was quite sceptical... but it certainly does acheive it's goal - I was extremely relaxed and I look forward to listening to the CD many more times. I expect I shall also buy another of Glenn Harrold's CD's also. Dont expect to be hypnotised to the point you dont remember anything, its nothing like that! Its just being able to fully relax mind and body. Each 30min session seems so quick as you drift into a peaceful state of mind... you want it to last longer! This really helps me to relax when my chronic illness is making it hard to do so. Thumbs up!
Helped alot, 21 Nov 2007
After passing this audio cd in the shops many times i decided this time to buy it as i suffer from very bad anxiety and i have to say out of everything that i have tried for anxiety this has helped me the most.
You are guided by a pleasant voice in to deep relaxation and by the time the cd has ended your whole body feels deeply relaxed you feel more positive and anxiety is alot better. I felt so much relief from my anxiety because of this cd.
I hope to listen to other audio cds by Glenn Harrold

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, 24 Nov 2008
As a tinnitus sufferer and a part-time insomniac sleep often eludes me,this CD is a great help with calming a sometimes racing mind and setting the scene for a good nights sleep.
Unlike some of the other reviewers I cant say this CD actually puts me to sleep (lucky devils !!)but it is a very positive influence and promotes sleep. I would also recommend "Creating inner peace and calm" by Glenn Harrold for the racing mind which can be sleeps biggest enemy.
Sweet dreams !!
Has no effect on me except to iritate!, 17 Sep 2008
Something about this man's voice really grates; a strong London/Southern accent and none of the soothing qualities I'd expect in a hypnotist. At one point he just keeps saying 'go to sleep, go to sleep' like a slightly irritated parent with a toddler. I keep trying it cos I am desperate to sleep, but usually have to get up and switch it off half way through cos I can't bear it!
I thought he was going to sell me insurance!, 25 Jul 2008
Wht a strange experience. This man has a really awful voice - quite scary - and really annoying. Having said all that I have been a poor sleeper for years and tried every "cure" possible, from prescribed drugs to yoga, you name it and I have tried it. Glenn seems to work. Not every night but I have had long, restful nights of sleep which previously I would only have dreamed of (if only I could get to dream) for which I am truly grateful.
It worked for me., 29 May 2008
I am so glad I purchased this cd.
This cd has shown me a way into relaxing that I would not ever have managed alone.
Listening to it keeps you on track and stops your mind wandering.
I'd not had a proper nights sleep for 16 years, for various reasons including not being able to switch my brain off at night.
Thoughts, ideas and worries would just make it impossible to relax enough to be able to drift off to sleep.
I could not consider medication to help me sleep because my son is diabetic.
I tried the lavender sprays etc, but they did not help.
Buying this cd for me was my only resort, and I am so glad I did.
I've had this cd now for several months and I consider it one of the best purchases I have ever made.
It took a week or so before I experienced the full benefit, and now I don't even have to listen to it every night,
I just lay there going through the motions of visualizing and deep breathing.
My mother and sister both gave this cd a go and it worked for them too.
I was so impressed I also purchased Glenn Harrold's relaxation one too, although I found the tracks too similar to this cd, so I usually just stick to this sleep one.
What you get, (improved quality of life,) for the small amount of money you spend on this, is Priceless.
A big thank you goes to Glenn Harrold, he's definitely made an improvement in my life.
Feel like I have slept for a week after each use, 27 Apr 2007
I could'nt recommend this tape highly enough. Was'nt able to sleep due to certain problems going around in my mind every night. Was taking herbal pills to make me sleep. Really did'nt expect too much of the tape but exceeded all expectations. Its definitely worked a treat, I hardly get to the middle of the tape before I am off to sleep and I'm into a deep sleep as it suggests on the cover. No need for any pills to put me over any more. The very best part is, when I wake up I'm totally rejuvenated and full of energy, this tape gives you a new lease of life. I have also tried Glenn Harrolds 'Overcome the fear of flying' and it was excellent and very calming when flying. I have sent for another of his cd's through amazon also, I have total confidence in him. Glenns cd's should be given out on the national health! Any problem you have, there should be a cd from him to help, I think he has roughly thirty tapes out at the moment.

Great, 19 Jul 2008
Ive never used a hypnotherapy c.d. before so i didn't know what to expect but this was great I've used it basically everyday for 2 weeks and i saw a big improvement in my mood and outlook. the reason i didn't give full marks is because you have to keep listening to it everyday for it to keep working (I missed a day and my mood dropped) but perhaps after a few weeks this is not necessary I'll wait and see. "Dayper and Daypaahhh...", 26 Feb 2008
Being an American, my first reaction to Glenn Harrold's accent within a hypnotherapy recording was "Heeee heee heeee, get outta here -- you're joking, right??!" But I now own 3 of his CDs and listen to all of them regularly, so there must be something to it when he says his voice will take me "dayper and daypaahh." Now I have come to associate that accent with relaxation and positive feelings. (Imagine if I relocated to south London? I'd feel great all the time!) But seriously, there's a reason Glenn has been so successful. If you open your mind and relax as he instructs you to, the positive suggestions really do take hold. I am NOT a happy camper when I awake in the morning, but this morning after listening to Track 1 I was actually dancing around my living room to the music at the end, singing along "...I believe in flyin' hiiiiggghhhhh..." (Please don't tell anyone this.)
After devoted listening to Glenn's CDs and some from Paul McKenna over the past 4 months, I am a much happier person. I would recommend them to anyone who can manage enough of an open mind to give them a fair try. These Work!, 05 Mar 2007
After only a week of listening to this tape, I felt more relaxed at work, more confident in myself and definately able to think more positively. I also sleep better and have stopped having nightmares. Also, I listened to the weight loss tape and started excersizing for the first time in 2 months. I don't think the tapes would work the same on everyone, and you may need to listen a lot for them to be very effective, but it's definatley worth having a go. If nothing else, it will definately relax you. I would recommend these cds/tapes to anyone who would like to change anything in their life for the better. Positively effective, 13 Oct 2006
Once you get past the childish urge to imagine the hypnotist saying, "And where are they now, the little people of Stonehenge?" a frivolity based on Harrold's Nigel Tufnel-like accent and delivery (Spinal Tap fans, beware!), this CD really does work to take you into a positive mindset. The initially skeptical listener will have to suspend their disbelief at the effectiveness of the hypnotic techniques used, which rely on a combination of a soothing voice augmented by simple recording studio effects such as reverb and panning from left to right plus soft New Age music, but once one overcomes such hurdles and surrenders to the power of relaxation and suggestion, this really does pay off. I found myself feeling - and thinking - more positive after the very first listen, with repeat listenings only serving to reinforce this new frame of mind. Recommended. learn to live it, 05 Feb 2005
This CD works - if you let it. If you have never heard Glenn Harrold, then believe me his accent takes some getting used to. However just allow yourself to be inducted by the "South London Geeza", and you will reap the rewards. As with all of his CDs, the scripts are first rate, and very positive. His use of voice is certainly quite effective, and the background music is well edited and not too anoyingly new age. If you buy and listen to this then you are aiming to reprogram your established thought patterns. In my experience this is not something that happens overnight, and is certainly harder if you dont allow yourself to relax into the process. After a month of repeated listening it is now really working many subtle wonders. I highly recommend this CD as well as all of his others. I find them all very relaxing and positive experiences. As an aside, I would also highly recommend Nick Kemp's CDs which are very different but equally enjoyable. really works, 03 Jun 2008
This CD works but you must listen to it as often as possible. It does not have actual techniques for remembering things but it takes away the self doubt and reminds you that you do have a good memory and it is just that you keep telling yourself you don't! It definitely increased my concentration as well. I always listen to it as I'm going to sleep. If you want to know a great book that includes techniques to enhance memory buy HOW TO PASS EXAMS BY DOMINIC O BRIEN I would give that book 5 stars! After reading it I can honestly say I can remember anything I want to! If you gave me 100 words to learn in order I could NOW bet you £1000 pound that I could remember them!!! So definitely think the two work great together! A strong one in a great series, 07 Nov 2007
I found this did work, although I've only listened once to each track so far. And I didn't really expect it to work. It is hard to believe how it could work wonders if you have serious, possibly organic memory problems, but definitely seems to have some benefit.
I think you'd have to take some other measures, like perfecting mnemonic techniques and address underlying health issues, to significantly improve your memory overall. Glenn does give basic instructions for a simple menmonic technique, but you'd be best of reading more on the subject if you want to utilise it in earnest. The benefits I noticed seemed to be more about confidence in recall, independent of techniques used, which if it really is the case and lasting, is impressive.
As for Glenn Harrold's style, voice and other features of this CD, please check my review of his Complete Relaxation for a factual, detailed description. Personally useless, 20 Aug 2007
The CD offers help in developing a powerful memory through a hypnotic technique. Having a short memory I tried but am afraid it had no effect whatsoever in fostering my memory.
Its worth every penny, 21 Jun 2007
I have to say I am a little skeptical towards solutions that seem easy and too good to be true. However, I decided to try this one out especially after I red the reviews from others. I have to say I give this CD my highest recommendation. I do not know if my memory has improved but I do know that every time I am having a bad day I listen to this CD before I fall asleep and wake up the next morning feeling brand new, positive and energetic. One thing is strange though my dreams have changed.. Wow!, 21 Jun 2006
This CD is amazing. I started listening to it a few weeks before sitting 4 exams and I can honestly say that it made learning much, much easier. In just a few minutes I was able to read and recall information that would, from past experience, have taken hours to learn. The first thing I noticed was remembering things from my childhood that just popped into my mind, e.g. places and names of friends & neighbours from 35 years ago. This is a powerful tool and I will certainly be trying other CD's by Glenn Harrold. More "Hmmm.." than "Zzzzz..", 09 Oct 2008
I'm sure the theory behind this CD is great, its very well put together, and yes, it probably will work for many people.
But I'm afraid Glenn Harrold's accent quite simply drives me mad.
If you're happy being lulled into a trance by a voice that sounds like one of the cast of East Enders, go ahead and invest - but as a Northerner, this just doesn't work for me at all :o( good, 07 Jul 2008
While this cd is obviously tailored towards a stress filled society and is to be recommended for that I personally enjoy the relaxing music `tears of spring which I got from amazon.co.uk. The cd I possess have a variety of stunning sounds tailored towards the relaxation market which I can recommend anyone looking into this particular genre. If you like the feeling of floating away from your problems then this cd will do it Wonderful, wonderful zzzzz.............., 02 Jul 2008
I love this CD, the breathing techniques are useful and on the second track there is a visualisation of a visit to a garden, supposedly going on to a beach - I have never got there because I am fast asleep by then, so it is really really effective.
Glenn's accent and voice are so soothing it is a must have as far as relaxation is concerned. The quality of the recording is astounding (no background hiss on the silent bits) and I will definitely buy more of his work - get it! Better than expected..., 21 May 2008
This is the first ever hypnosis CD I've ever bought, so was quite sceptical... but it certainly does acheive it's goal - I was extremely relaxed and I look forward to listening to the CD many more times. I expect I shall also buy another of Glenn Harrold's CD's also. Dont expect to be hypnotised to the point you dont remember anything, its nothing like that! Its just being able to fully relax mind and body. Each 30min session seems so quick as you drift into a peaceful state of mind... you want it to last longer! This really helps me to relax when my chronic illness is making it hard to do so. Thumbs up! Helped alot, 21 Nov 2007
After passing this audio cd in the shops many times i decided this time to buy it as i suffer from very bad anxiety and i have to say out of everything that i have tried for anxiety this has helped me the most.
You are guided by a pleasant voice in to deep relaxation and by the time the cd has ended your whole body feels deeply relaxed you feel more positive and anxiety is alot better. I felt so much relief from my anxiety because of this cd.
I hope to listen to other audio cds by Glenn Harrold Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, 24 Nov 2008
As a tinnitus sufferer and a part-time insomniac sleep often eludes me,this CD is a great help with calming a sometimes racing mind and setting the scene for a good nights sleep.
Unlike some of the other reviewers I cant say this CD actually puts me to sleep (lucky devils !!)but it is a very positive influence and promotes sleep. I would also recommend "Creating inner peace and calm" by Glenn Harrold for the racing mind which can be sleeps biggest enemy.
Sweet dreams !! Has no effect on me except to iritate!, 17 Sep 2008
Something about this man's voice really grates; a strong London/Southern accent and none of the soothing qualities I'd expect in a hypnotist. At one point he just keeps saying 'go to sleep, go to sleep' like a slightly irritated parent with a toddler. I keep trying it cos I am desperate to sleep, but usually have to get up and switch it off half way through cos I can't bear it! I thought he was going to sell me insurance!, 25 Jul 2008
Wht a strange experience. This man has a really awful voice - quite scary - and really annoying. Having said all that I have been a poor sleeper for years and tried every "cure" possible, from prescribed drugs to yoga, you name it and I have tried it. Glenn seems to work. Not every night but I have had long, restful nights of sleep which previously I would only have dreamed of (if only I could get to dream) for which I am truly grateful. It worked for me., 29 May 2008
I am so glad I purchased this cd.
This cd has shown me a way into relaxing that I would not ever have managed alone.
Listening to it keeps you on track and stops your mind wandering.
I'd not had a proper nights sleep for 16 years, for various reasons including not being able to switch my brain off at night.
Thoughts, ideas and worries would just make it impossible to relax enough to be able to drift off to sleep.
I could not consider medication to help me sleep because my son is diabetic.
I tried the lavender sprays etc, but they did not help.
Buying this cd for me was my only resort, and I am so glad I did.
I've had this cd now for several months and I consider it one of the best purchases I have ever made.
It took a week or so before I experienced the full benefit, and now I don't even have to listen to it every night,
I just lay there going through the motions of visualizing and deep breathing.
My mother and sister both gave this cd a go and it worked for them too.
I was so impressed I also purchased Glenn Harrold's relaxation one too, although I found the tracks too similar to this cd, so I usually just stick to this sleep one.
What you get, (improved quality of life,) for the small amount of money you spend on this, is Priceless.
A big thank you goes to Glenn Harrold, he's definitely made an improvement in my life.

I'm an almost fully-fledged hypnotherapist, so have to admit to being able to do this kind of thing myself, but the difference is, with Glen Harrold, you get the background music & sound FX, which makes a big difference on tape, especially with earphones. It's a great tape. The script is first class. I listened to it with my 10 year old son the first time, just to listen to it (okay, to vet it). After 15 minutes I was in a somnabulistic state (just about fast asleep, in fact). I jolted awake, remembering I was supposed to be monitoring him, and found my 10 year old still lying with his eyes open. But he'd been listening to every word and, afterwards, he was much more relaxed, calm and "in touch" with himself than he's been for a long while. And the point here is, with hypnosis the message gets through just the same, however "awake" they seem, even if they've got their eyes open. It sometimes takes time for a child to want to close their eyes. There are too many things going on in life for kids at the moment. GameBoy, TV, Sims - you name it. Hey, I've got a 10 year old. But it makes you feel good as a parent to watch your child lie back and relax on the sofa, listening to a tape that makes them feel good about themselves.

A reborn concious, 26 Nov 2007
I got fed up with being this shy little one in the middle of my crowd of friends so I decided to put my life on the mend once and for all! I've already had similiar successes having listened to Glenn Harrold's 'Manifestng Your goals and dreams' and 'Overcome Addictions'. He has saved my life and my concious in a way that I've always supported. Self Suffiency is the key to making your life work for you and as that goes to prove you need to call on Harrold's hypnotherapy discs to help guide you to being a better person.
It Really Worked For Me!, 18 Jan 2007
I used this cd after trying possibly everything you could think of including seeing a psychiatrist but nothing worked. I have what the doctor classed as 'agoraphobia' (I think thats how its spelt) which means that I have a fear of being out in open spaces and the more people that are out there around me, the more I panicked. So instead of panicking all the time, I just stopped going out at all. The doctor recommended that I see a psychiatrist and I did, he tried everything we could think of but to no avail. I am overweight and being like that caused my agoraphbia as I thought people were always laughing at me when I went outside and I stopped talking to peole. So after checking everything on Amazon, I found this cd and I tried Glenn Harolds self-confidence and after just 2weeks I felt remarkably different. I was very different acording to my friends and I spoke to people and when I was asked questions, I answered people instead of freaking out and hiding away. I listened to it every day and it even made me fell so relaxed and 'chirpy' after listening to it. I would recommend it to anyone.
It worked, 06 Nov 2005
I really have to say that this CD has helped me. I found the following day a big cloud had been lifted from my mind and as the day went on I realised that all the negativity and anxiety I had been feeling for some months had more or less evaporated. In contrast to another reviewer, being a man listening to a male voice was not a problem. I have listened to similar recordings with a female voice but found the male tones more directional and focused rather than soothing. Its direction and focus I needed. Basically If you suffer from poor self esteem this is for you - but if you have serious problems with confidence or anxiety - see a Pro, but I see no reason why this cant be used as part of a holistic approach to such problems.
Didn't work for me..., 06 Aug 2005
I've been using this cd for a while now. I bought it on the basis of the many positive reviews on Amazon. I haven't experienced any improvement in my confidence or felt more positive. In fact I feel more on edge and lower than ever, often avoiding social contact. I find the actual cd boring after listening to it so often and I find his voice annoying and unsoothing. The only bit that I like is the music on the second track. I'm sure it works for some people, but as the saying goes "one hat doesn't fit all".
I don't know what to say..., 03 Feb 2005
I don't know what to say... this audio book is fantastic... I can't choose a correct syntax in which to express my joy and how pleased I am with this one. If you have a woe with Confidence, then this is for you...

Great, 19 Jul 2008
Ive never used a hypnotherapy c.d. before so i didn't know what to expect but this was great I've used it basically everyday for 2 weeks and i saw a big improvement in my mood and outlook. the reason i didn't give full marks is because you have to keep listening to it everyday for it to keep working (I missed a day and my mood dropped) but perhaps after a few weeks this is not necessary I'll wait and see. "Dayper and Daypaahhh...", 26 Feb 2008
Being an American, my first reaction to Glenn Harrold's accent within a hypnotherapy recording was "Heeee heee heeee, get outta here -- you're joking, right??!" But I now own 3 of his CDs and listen to all of them regularly, so there must be something to it when he says his voice will take me "dayper and daypaahh." Now I have come to associate that accent with relaxation and positive feelings. (Imagine if I relocated to south London? I'd feel great all the time!) But seriously, there's a reason Glenn has been so successful. If you open your mind and relax as he instructs you to, the positive suggestions really do take hold. I am NOT a happy camper when I awake in the morning, but this morning after listening to Track 1 I was actually dancing around my living room to the music at the end, singing along "...I believe in flyin' hiiiiggghhhhh..." (Please don't tell anyone this.)
After devoted listening to Glenn's CDs and some from Paul McKenna over the past 4 months, I am a much happier person. I would recommend them to anyone who can manage enough of an open mind to give them a fair try. These Work!, 05 Mar 2007
After only a week of listening to this tape, I felt more relaxed at work, more confident in myself and definately able to think more positively. I also sleep better and have stopped having nightmares. Also, I listened to the weight loss tape and started excersizing for the first time in 2 months. I don't think the tapes would work the same on everyone, and you may need to listen a lot for them to be very effective, but it's definatley worth having a go. If nothing else, it will definately relax you. I would recommend these cds/tapes to anyone who would like to change anything in their life for the better. Positively effective, 13 Oct 2006
Once you get past the childish urge to imagine the hypnotist saying, "And where are they now, the little people of Stonehenge?" a frivolity based on Harrold's Nigel Tufnel-like accent and delivery (Spinal Tap fans, beware!), this CD really does work to take you into a positive mindset. The initially skeptical listener will have to suspend their disbelief at the effectiveness of the hypnotic techniques used, which rely on a combination of a soothing voice augmented by simple recording studio effects such as reverb and panning from left to right plus soft New Age music, but once one overcomes such hurdles and surrenders to the power of relaxation and suggestion, this really does pay off. I found myself feeling - and thinking - more positive after the very first listen, with repeat listenings only serving to reinforce this new frame of mind. Recommended. learn to live it, 05 Feb 2005
This CD works - if you let it. If you have never heard Glenn Harrold, then believe me his accent takes some getting used to. However just allow yourself to be inducted by the "South London Geeza", and you will reap the rewards. As with all of his CDs, the scripts are first rate, and very positive. His use of voice is certainly quite effective, and the background music is well edited and not too anoyingly new age. If you buy and listen to this then you are aiming to reprogram your established thought patterns. In my experience this is not something that happens overnight, and is certainly harder if you dont allow yourself to relax into the process. After a month of repeated listening it is now really working many subtle wonders. I highly recommend this CD as well as all of his others. I find them all very relaxing and positive experiences. As an aside, I would also highly recommend Nick Kemp's CDs which are very different but equally enjoyable. really works, 03 Jun 2008
This CD works but you must listen to it as often as possible. It does not have actual techniques for remembering things but it takes away the self doubt and reminds you that you do have a good memory and it is just that you keep telling yourself you don't! It definitely increased my concentration as well. I always listen to it as I'm going to sleep. If you want to know a great book that includes techniques to enhance memory buy HOW TO PASS EXAMS BY DOMINIC O BRIEN I would give that book 5 stars! After reading it I can honestly say I can remember anything I want to! If you gave me 100 words to learn in order I could NOW bet you £1000 pound that I could remember them!!! So definitely think the two work great together! A strong one in a great series, 07 Nov 2007
I found this did work, although I've only listened once to each track so far. And I didn't really expect it to work. It is hard to believe how it could work wonders if you have serious, possibly organic memory problems, but definitely seems to have some benefit.
I think you'd have to take some other measures, like perfecting mnemonic techniques and address underlying health issues, to significantly improve your memory overall. Glenn does give basic instructions for a simple menmonic technique, but you'd be best of reading more on the subject if you want to utilise it in earnest. The benefits I noticed seemed to be more about confidence in recall, independent of techniques used, which if it really is the case and lasting, is impressive.
As for Glenn Harrold's style, voice and other features of this CD, please check my review of his Complete Relaxation for a factual, detailed description. Personally useless, 20 Aug 2007
The CD offers help in developing a powerful memory through a hypnotic technique. Having a short memory I tried but am afraid it had no effect whatsoever in fostering my memory.
Its worth every penny, 21 Jun 2007
I have to say I am a little skeptical towards solutions that seem easy and too good to be true. However, I decided to try this one out especially after I red the reviews from others. I have to say I give this CD my highest recommendation. I do not know if my memory has improved but I do know that every time I am having a bad day I listen to this CD before I fall asleep and wake up the next morning feeling brand new, positive and energetic. One thing is strange though my dreams have changed.. Wow!, 21 Jun 2006
This CD is amazing. I started listening to it a few weeks before sitting 4 exams and I can honestly say that it made learning much, much easier. In just a few minutes I was able to read and recall information that would, from past experience, have taken hours to learn. The first thing I noticed was remembering things from my childhood that just popped into my mind, e.g. places and names of friends & neighbours from 35 years ago. This is a powerful tool and I will certainly be trying other CD's by Glenn Harrold. More "Hmmm.." than "Zzzzz..", 09 Oct 2008
I'm sure the theory behind this CD is great, its very well put together, and yes, it probably will work for many people.
But I'm afraid Glenn Harrold's accent quite simply drives me mad.
If you're happy being lulled into a trance by a voice that sounds like one of the cast of East Enders, go ahead and invest - but as a Northerner, this just doesn't work for me at all :o( good, 07 Jul 2008
While this cd is obviously tailored towards a stress filled society and is to be recommended for that I personally enjoy the relaxing music `tears of spring which I got from amazon.co.uk. The cd I possess have a variety of stunning sounds tailored towards the relaxation market which I can recommend anyone looking into this particular genre. If you like the feeling of floating away from your problems then this cd will do it Wonderful, wonderful zzzzz.............., 02 Jul 2008
I love this CD, the breathing techniques are useful and on the second track there is a visualisation of a visit to a garden, supposedly going on to a beach - I have never got there because I am fast asleep by then, so it is really really effective.
Glenn's accent and voice are so soothing it is a must have as far as relaxation is concerned. The quality of the recording is astounding (no background hiss on the silent bits) and I will definitely buy more of his work - get it! Better than expected..., 21 May 2008
This is the first ever hypnosis CD I've ever bought, so was quite sceptical... but it certainly does acheive it's goal - I was extremely relaxed and I look forward to listening to the CD many more times. I expect I shall also buy another of Glenn Harrold's CD's also. Dont expect to be hypnotised to the point you dont remember anything, its nothing like that! Its just being able to fully relax mind and body. Each 30min session seems so quick as you drift into a peaceful state of mind... you want it to last longer! This really helps me to relax when my chronic illness is making it hard to do so. Thumbs up! Helped alot, 21 Nov 2007
After passing this audio cd in the shops many times i decided this time to buy it as i suffer from very bad anxiety and i have to say out of everything that i have tried for anxiety this has helped me the most.
You are guided by a pleasant voice in to deep relaxation and by the time the cd has ended your whole body feels deeply relaxed you feel more positive and anxiety is alot better. I felt so much relief from my anxiety because of this cd.
I hope to listen to other audio cds by Glenn Harrold Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, 24 Nov 2008
As a tinnitus sufferer and a part-time insomniac sleep often eludes me,this CD is a great help with calming a sometimes racing mind and setting the scene for a good nights sleep.
Unlike some of the other reviewers I cant say this CD actually puts me to sleep (lucky devils !!)but it is a very positive influence and promotes sleep. I would also recommend "Creating inner peace and calm" by Glenn Harrold for the racing mind which can be sleeps biggest enemy.
Sweet dreams !! Has no effect on me except to iritate!, 17 Sep 2008
Something about this man's voice really grates; a strong London/Southern accent and none of the soothing qualities I'd expect in a hypnotist. At one point he just keeps saying 'go to sleep, go to sleep' like a slightly irritated parent with a toddler. I keep trying it cos I am desperate to sleep, but usually have to get up and switch it off half way through cos I can't bear it! I thought he was going to sell me insurance!, 25 Jul 2008
Wht a strange experience. This man has a really awful voice - quite scary - and really annoying. Having said all that I have been a poor sleeper for years and tried every "cure" possible, from prescribed drugs to yoga, you name it and I have tried it. Glenn seems to work. Not every night but I have had long, restful nights of sleep which previously I would only have dreamed of (if only I could get to dream) for which I am truly grateful. It worked for me., 29 May 2008
I am so glad I purchased this cd.
This cd has shown me a way into relaxing that I would not ever have managed alone.
Listening to it keeps you on track and stops your mind wandering.
I'd not had a proper nights sleep for 16 years, for various reasons including not being able to switch my brain off at night.
Thoughts, ideas and worries would just make it impossible to relax enough to be able to drift off to sleep.
I could not consider medication to help me sleep because my son is diabetic.
I tried the lavender sprays etc, but they did not help.
Buying this cd for me was my only resort, and I am so glad I did.
I've had this cd now for several months and I consider it one of the best purchases I have ever made.
It took a week or so before I experienced the full benefit, and now I don't even have to listen to it every night,
I just lay there going through the motions of visualizing and deep breathing.
My mother and sister both gave this cd a go and it worked for them too.
I was so impressed I also purchased Glenn Harrold's relaxation one too, although I found the tracks too similar to this cd, so I usually just stick to this sleep one.
What you get, (improved quality of life,) for the small amount of money you spend on this, is Priceless.
A big thank you goes to Glenn Harrold, he's definitely made an improvement in my life.
Feel like I have slept for a week after each use, 27 Apr 2007
I could'nt recommend this tape highly enough. Was'nt able to sleep due to certain problems going around in my mind every night. Was taking herbal pills to make me sleep. Really did'nt expect too much of the tape but exceeded all expectations. Its definitely worked a treat, I hardly get to the middle of the tape before I am off to sleep and I'm into a deep sleep as it suggests on the cover. No need for any pills to put me over any more. The very best part is, when I wake up I'm totally rejuvenated and full of energy, this tape gives you a new lease of life. I have also tried Glenn Harrolds 'Overcome the fear of flying' and it was excellent and very calming when flying. I have sent for another of his cd's through amazon also, I have total confidence in him. Glenns cd's should be given out on the national health! Any problem you have, there should be a cd from him to help, I think he has roughly thirty tapes out at the moment. Does just what it says on the label...., 18 Feb 2003
I'm an almost fully-fledged hypnotherapist, so have to admit to being able to do this kind of thing myself, but the difference is, with Glen Harrold, you get the background music & sound FX, which makes a big difference on tape, especially with earphones. It's a great tape. The script is first class. I listened to it with my 10 year old son the first time, just to listen to it (okay, to vet it). After 15 minutes I was in a somnabulistic state (just about fast asleep, in fact). I jolted awake, remembering I was supposed to be monitoring him, and found my 10 year old still lying with his eyes open. But he'd been listening to every word and, afterwards, he was much more relaxed, calm and "in touch" with himself than he's been for a long while. And the point here is, with hypnosis the message gets through just the same, however "awake" they seem, even if they've got their eyes open. It sometimes takes time for a child to want to close their eyes. There are too many things going on in life for kids at the moment. GameBoy, TV, Sims - you name it. Hey, I've got a 10 year old. But it makes you feel good as a parent to watch your child lie back and relax on the sofa, listening to a tape that makes them feel good about themselves.
A reborn concious, 26 Nov 2007
I got fed up with being this shy little one in the middle of my crowd of friends so I decided to put my life on the mend once and for all! I've already had similiar successes having listened to Glenn Harrold's 'Manifestng Your goals and dreams' and 'Overcome Addictions'. He has saved my life and my concious in a way that I've always supported. Self Suffiency is the key to making your life work for you and as that goes to prove you need to call on Harrold's hypnotherapy discs to help guide you to being a better person.
It Really Worked For Me!, 18 Jan 2007
I used this cd after trying possibly everything you could think of including seeing a psychiatrist but nothing worked. I have what the doctor classed as 'agoraphobia' (I think thats how its spelt) which means that I have a fear of being out in open spaces and the more people that are out there around me, the more I panicked. So instead of panicking all the time, I just stopped going out at all. The doctor recommended that I see a psychiatrist and I did, he tried everything we could think of but to no avail. I am overweight and being like that caused my agoraphbia as I thought people were always laughing at me when I went outside and I stopped talking to peole. So after checking everything on Amazon, I found this cd and I tried Glenn Harolds self-confidence and after just 2weeks I felt remarkably different. I was very different acording to my friends and I spoke to people and when I was asked questions, I answered people instead of freaking out and hiding away. I listened to it every day and it even made me fell so relaxed and 'chirpy' after listening to it. I would recommend it to anyone.
It worked, 06 Nov 2005
I really have to say that this CD has helped me. I found the following day a big cloud had been lifted from my mind and as the day went on I realised that all the negativity and anxiety I had been feeling for some months had more or less evaporated. In contrast to another reviewer, being a man listening to a male voice was not a problem. I have listened to similar recordings with a female voice but found the male tones more directional and focused rather than soothing. Its direction and focus I needed. Basically If you suffer from poor self esteem this is for you - but if you have serious problems with confidence or anxiety - see a Pro, but I see no reason why this cant be used as part of a holistic approach to such problems.
Didn't work for me..., 06 Aug 2005
I've been using this cd for a while now. I bought it on the basis of the many positive reviews on Amazon. I haven't experienced any improvement in my confidence or felt more positive. In fact I feel more on edge and lower than ever, often avoiding social contact. I find the actual cd boring after listening to it so often and I find his voice annoying and unsoothing. The only bit that I like is the music on the second track. I'm sure it works for some people, but as the saying goes "one hat doesn't fit all".
I don't know what to say..., 03 Feb 2005
I don't know what to say... this audio book is fantastic... I can't choose a correct syntax in which to express my joy and how pleased I am with this one. If you have a woe with Confidence, then this is for you...
Strongly recommended, 27 Jun 2008
I have tried hypnosis CDs previously (Paul McKenna) without results or significant effects so when i stumbled accross Glenn Harrolds CD i thought id have one last go with a different hypnotherapist.
The results have been better than i could have wished, i lost 6 pounds in around 10 days and have kept the weight off too!
My weight is going down slowly and steadily and i think about food in a totally different way now.
I would recommend listening to any of Harrolds CDs once a week so as to keep your mind focused on your goals, it works better this way.
Lose Weight Now, 09 Apr 2008
I bought this CD purely on the strength of the following reviews and I am very glad I did. I received the disk on the 21st March and today on the 9th April I have lost about three-quarters of a stone (My scales are crap and I try not to concentrate on weight merely on how I feel and how clothes fit).
I have had no trouble using the CD. I listened to the first track for the first couple of weeks but alternate between the two depending on which one I want to listen to. I have put the two tracks onto my mobile phone and have no problems putting the phone into offline mode and listening to Glenn where and when ever I want. His voice is very easy to listen to and I have had no problems with the accent.
I have struggled with my weight for years and when I get bored I just pig out. I can now walk through the kitchen when bored, take a drink of water look at biscuits and bread and say 'no thanks not interested'. For me, a real step forward.
As a side benefit I feel so much better in myself and am sleeping deeper. I find that when I lose weight I snore less so a benefit for my wife which is a bit galling!
A very effective programme.
Literally life changing., 23 Feb 2008
I'm going to keep this brief. Fantastic. After 3 months I had lost 2.5 stones. After 5 months I've kept it off - weight decreasing slowly and safely and I'm exercising (and enjoying it!). This worked beyond expectations. I came to this CD after using the one to get over fear of flying by the same guy. That worked - (have flown 4 times since using it - no problems) so I thought I'd risk another tenner. Thank you Glenn Harrold!
Unbelievable Results, 21 Aug 2007
I bought this CD not really convinced that it would work for me but thought it couldn't hurt.
Having lost two and a half stone last year I found the weight slowly creeping back on; it was seemingly impossible to regain my previous motivation to maintain. But I have been using Glenn Harrold's CD for just two Weeks and have already lost 8lbs. Glenn Harrold's voice is soothing and reasuring and I had no difficulty relaxing. Listening to the CD has given me the encouragement that I needed to change my life permanently.
I'm delighted with the results! I really feel now that I will be able to maintain my idea weight.
Sleeping better than I have for years, 06 Oct 2005
I bought this CD as a sort of last resort, after not seeming to have the self-discipline to keep off weight I had worked hard to lose. I very quickly became used to Glenn Harrold's accent. He begins by explaining what is going to happen and then leads you into a simple relaxation exercise. For some reason I am always out like a light by this point, and have not yet managed to stay awake! We are told this doesn't matter, however. I have used the CD regularly for 3 weeks or so and cannot report an enormous change yet in the willpower side of things, but I have definitely lost certain unhealthy food cravings I had. While the effects are very subtle and not really enough in themselves to cause weight loss, it is early days. I certainly sleep better 9 times out of 10, and this has been an unexpected bonus! I did not have this with another weight loss CD by a more well-known hypnotist. Indeed, I have now bought other CDs of Glenn Harrold's to try. I look forward now going to sleep at night, instead of lying awake worrying about the next day. Highly recommended.
