SMALL BOOK OF

BIG TECHNIQUES
Four Dozen techniques to give you instant control over reality.

Burt Goldman

1|Page
 Introduction

The small book of big techniques is meant to accompany the Mind Box book. The
mind box program attracted so much positive attention, comments and testimonials,
especially from those who used one or two of the techniques that I decided to pull the
techniques out of the book and create a special volume to accompany it. This slim
digest is the result. But please do not allow the size or the number of pages put you off.
Within this abridgment is more meat than is in a dozen books. Indeed, given the time
and motivation, there could be a major work written out of virtually every single one
of the techniques.

My suggestion is that you first go through the Mind Box book that you will find
elsewhere in the library and read it. Then skim through the techniques and use a few of
them. You will find each of the techniques a diamond in the setting of a book. All of
the techniques have been tested hundreds of times and although it may appear that
some of them smack of the magic wand effect please understand that nothing works all
of the time. Saying that I must add that these techniques have been proven again and
again by tens of thousands of my students.

If you’re like most people you’ll browse through all of them at a sitting. Do that. But
then pick one or two of them out and test them. Use them. And please do think about
them. You will find the 48 techniques here akin to a diamond mine that you have
landed smack in the middle of.
