Where should a rationalist start learning about hypnosis? Preferably a book.

I was thinking about posting something exactly like this. Not sure if here, Reddit or any other community. You did. You read my mind. You even phrased my thoughts: Now I feel it.

«Rare are those whose conception of reality is not exclusively dependent on their perception of it, who understand that there are things which you know and things which you don’t know, and in between are several doorways, of which one is called “Perception”; this door must be entered with prudence.»

I’m saving this in my personal notes. Beautiful.

Thank you, Elo. A list of books that helped you to become more rational. I don’t care about the subject.
