"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'".
- Steve Andreas, publisher, co-founder of NLP Comprehensive
"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.
