About the Book. Since its first publication, over one million people have graduated from Mind Control training to use their minds at a deeper and more effective level. In this book, José Silva and Philip Miele lay out the same forty-eight-hour programme taught in seminars around the world, translated into a format readers can work through chapter by chapter in the comfort of their own home. The method centres on guided relaxation and visualisation techniques designed to help the reader access deeper, more restful states of mind associated with meditation and heightened creativity, through practical exercises meant to be practised daily. Throughout, the authors support the techniques with case histories from real graduates, illustrating how the method has helped relieve everyday stress, sharpen concentration, improve problem-solving, and support better sleep.

José Silva was born in Laredo, Texas, and built a successful electronics-repair business that he maintained for forty years. His hands-on background in engineering and problem-solving informed decades of independent research into psychic ability and brainwave activity, from which he developed the Silva Method, the mind-training system at the heart of this book. Co-author Philip Miele worked alongside Silva to bring the programme to a general readership, translating years of seminar material into the accessible, practical guide that has introduced millions of readers to Silva's techniques since it was first published..
