Even on Amazon d o t com where you can see user ratings for certain books, its very difficult to judge whether a book is good or bad because people into self-help will go ahead and buy it, read it and if it gives them a handful of "aha" experiences, they will go ahead and give it a 5 star rating... I've seen some really **** books with like 4.5 stars. Hypnosis and anchoring are two things I am fascinated by though unfortunately it is hard to find out who are the current gurus that would fit best for what I want to do..... Which is to broaden my horizens with women.
