Good morning, my name is Phil Hewitt, Group Arts Editor at Sussex Newspapers. Huge pleasure
00:06
to speak to Paul McKenna, world-leading hypnotist and behavioural scientist. Now Paul, you're
00:11
on the road with a really crucial, vital-sounding new book, Success for Life, and we all want
00:16
that. And you're coming to Brighton fairly soon, March 5th. Now this is about potential,
00:22
isn't it? About the fact that we don't tend to fulfil our potential, that we sabotage
00:28
ourselves. Why do we do that? How far short do we fall, do you think?
00:32
Well you're absolutely right. People hold themselves back or they self-sabotage because
00:36
they have subconscious beliefs that maybe they're not worthy, or that if they started
00:40
to succeed it would all be too much. But also sometimes people just don't think big enough
00:44
and grand enough, outside of the normal parameters of what they think they can achieve. And the
00:49
great thing with the live event that I'm doing in Brighton is it's a coaching session, right?
00:56
So I'm going to do everything I would do with you if we were sat in this room here
01:00
to get you to fulfil more of your potential. There's just a few hundred other people present.
01:06
And so I do demonstrations with people on the stage, I turn and I do it with everybody.
01:10
Of course, no one has to do anything they don't want to do. And I hypnotise the entire
01:15
audience to feel fantastic by the end of the evening, and then do selfies and chat with
01:21
everybody.
01:22
But you were saying briefly just now, it's an inside-out job, it has to come from within
01:25
them.
01:26
It's got to come from within you, yeah. You have much more resources, you know, you can
01:30
have more confidence, more clarity about what it is you want, more determination to go for
01:34
what it is you want. And also, happiness is a neurochemical event. So as a modern therapist,
01:41
I can coach, I can talk to your unconscious mind and get it to crank up the good feelings,
01:47
crank up the good brain chemistry, so that you feel good for no particular reason, other
01:52
than we have told your subconscious mind to make it happen.
01:55
And it's past events, damaging events in childhood, perhaps, that are holding us back.
02:01
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, you know, if you get told as a child, you know, you've got
02:05
no artistic ability or be quiet, no one wants to hear what you have to say, there is, you
02:10
know, your fear of public speaking, if it's told to you at a moment of emotional intensity
02:14
by an authority figure.
02:17
But the thing is, that can be undone fairly quickly. And indeed, you know, the point of
02:21
the Success For Life book, and the event in Brighton, is to get people to move past their
02:28
limitations, and to suddenly see greater possibilities, and to go away feeling really energized, not
02:35
just not just motivated there and then, because you know, that doesn't last, but to have tools
02:40
and techniques you can use. So if you're feeling overwhelmed, you suddenly hang on, stop, do
02:44
it. Oh, yeah, I feel more in control. I'm going to be able to handle this.
02:49
And you're saying it's a relatively short, three, short read, three hours, and you'll
02:53
be thinking 2024 is going to be fantastic for me.
02:56
Absolutely. Yeah, either read in three hours or listen to it as an audiobook. And if you
03:00
do the processes, there is not a chance on this earth, you won't have greater self belief,
03:05
greater clarity about what it is you really want. More determination, as I say, greater
03:09
happiness and joy, and 2024 will seem so much more compelling. It'll be really a year of
03:16
opportunity for you.
03:17
Fantastic to start thinking along those lines so early in the year too.
03:22
Absolutely.
03:23
Brilliant. Really lovely to talk to you again.
03:25
Thank you very much.
03:26
Thank you so much. Thank you.
