At this point in my life, I don’t get excited about a lot of stuff, but about a year and a half ago a book manuscript came across my desk that immediately got my attention. It’s the most interesting and intriguing material I’ve come across since reading Jay Haley’s Uncommon Therapy many years ago. Andy has both a unique sense of humor, and my admiration for the things he has “pulled off.” You’ll begin to see what I mean in the following two sections, which are brief excerpts from the book below. But first, here’s an endorsement from Bill O’Hanlon, and a brief description:

“Andy Austin’s Rainbow Machine will have you laughing, gasping in horror and awe, and wishing like hell that you lived close enough to him to get an appointment. He is the British Milton Erickson.” -Bill O’Hanlon, author of Change 101 and many other books about brief therapy.

The Rainbow Machine: Tales from a Neurolinguist’s Journal, by Andrew T. Austin, offers fascinating glimpses into the personal change work of a top NLP practitioner and registered nurse, in settings from mental hospitals, emergency rooms, and neurosurgery departments, to individual hypnosis and psychotherapy. Rollicking, creative, lively, funny, outrageous, touching, profound. A “must read” romp for anyone interested in therapy or personal change.
