ABOUT TODAY'S EPISODE:

What if the most powerful hypnosis book ever written wasn’t about curing disease—but about unlocking a new way of being?

In Episode 118 of Daily Persuasion, titled “Joseph Campbell Recommended This Book ft. Mind Games Hypnosis Book,” bestselling author and persuasion expert Joshua Lisec dives into a truly controversial book: Mind Games by Robert Masters and Jean Houston—a forgotten, out of print hypnosis manual disguised as a guide to “inner space.” Why did Joseph Campbell himself praise it as a work of transformational genius? Why did he say it offered joy—not fear—of the unconscious?

Because Mind Games isn’t just a classic hypnosis book. It’s a psychedelic-free, group-based manual for achieving altered states of consciousness. And the persuasion techniques it teaches are as subtle as they are powerful.

Lisec takes you on a Joseph Campbell analysis of the book’s language patterns, nested loops, and linguistic hypnosis tools hidden in plain sight. You’ll hear about conversational hypnosis tactics like repetition (“remember completely, remember everything”), adverb stacking (“quickly and easily”), and dual commands (“learn it, learn all about what it is”). These aren’t just literary tricks—they are real-world persuasive techniques used by hypnotists, politicians, and even marketers in examples of persuasion in advertising.

What’s so compelling is that Mind Games offers these lessons without drugs, without mysticism, and without ever explaining how the hypnosis techniques work. Yet they work.

This episode of Daily Persuasion reveals how Mind Games gives you blueprint after blueprint for group self hypnosis, often without calling it that. Joshua Lisec walks through the script-like “games,” showing how they mimic conversational hypnosis frameworks: induction, deepeners, commands. The point? To activate focused attention, inner awareness, and the state that Campbell referred to as “joy in the mysteries of the unconscious.”

But the real story here is persuasion—how this forgotten hypnosis book became a Trojan horse for techniques of persuasion in writing and speech. Lisec shows how you can use these exact tools to persuade someone to do something, whether you’re selling, leading, or writing. If you’ve ever wondered about the deep structure of persuasion psychology, this is your episode.

You’ll also learn:
• Why Joseph Campbell loved this out of print book so much
• How hypnosis principles can be embedded in casual language
• The specific persuasion examples found in the book’s structure
• What Mind Games teaches about group suggestion and self hypnosis
• How Joshua Lisec uses these tools in his own persuasion work today

Whether you're interested in hypnosis techniques, mind-state training, or simply powerful examples of persuasion in advertising, this episode gives you actionable insights. Lisec highlights how using repetition, nested suggestions, and hypnotic language increases compliance and connection—key in both marketing and leadership.

And if you’re a fan of controversial books or overlooked classics, you’ll love hearing Lisec bring Mind Games back to life. It’s rare to find a hypnosis book so rich in material yet so mysterious in its purpose. Perhaps that’s why it earned Joseph Campbell’s rare public endorsement.

By the end of this Daily Persuasion deep dive, you’ll know:
• How to recognize persuasive techniques embedded in writing and speech
• Why the book’s scripts sound eerily similar to political speech and advertising
• How to apply these tactics in your own life to increase influence

In an era of AI prompts and neurohacking, maybe the future of persuasion lies in the past—in out of print books like Mind Games that teach you how to access deeper states of consciousness without drugs or dogma.

So if you're on the path of mastery—of language, of influence, of the mind—Joshua Lisec invites you to remember completely… remember everything.
