Paul McKenna (born 8 November 1963, in Enfield, London) is a British hypnotist, television broadcaster and an author of 12 international bestselling self-help books. McKenna has written and produced books and multimedia products, hosted self-improvement television shows and presents seminars in hypnosis, neuro-linguistic programming, weight loss, motivation and the Zen meditation Big Mind and Amygdala Depotentiation Therapy (ADT). ==Career== McKenna started off in radio aged 16 at Radio Topshop, and went on to present for stations including Radio Jackie, Radio Caroline, Chiltern Radio, Capital Radio, BBC Radio 1 and TV channel Music Box. McKenna became interested in hypnotism as a result of a guest who appeared on his show. His interest stemmed initially for reasons of self-development, although entertainment was later to play a big part. Whilst still working at Capital Radio, McKenna began experimenting with small hypnotic shows, first for the amusement of friends, then for audiences in pubs and clubs. From there he starred in a regular Sunday night show at the Duke of York's Theatre, which was owned at the time by Capital Radio. The success of those shows led to his playing other theatres across the UK, Ireland, The Netherlands, the US, Australia and Hong Kong.〔 After a brief spell at Radio 1 in the early 1990s, McKenna decided to quit radio. In 1993, ITV broadcast ''The Hypnotic World of Paul McKenna'', which featured audience members volunteering to be hypnotised to act in comedic ways, the show subsequently being aired in 42 countries. During this time, McKenna continued to study hypnosis, and neuro-linguistic programming with Richard Bandler, the co-creator of NLP. Many of McKenna's one-to-one hypnotherapy clients are celebrities including Ellen DeGeneres〔(The Sun )〕 and David Walliams, who used McKenna to help with his swim across the English Channel. McKenna hypnotised ''Top Gear'' presenter Richard Hammond on series 4, episode 2 of the motor show in 2004. In October 2009 McKenna was a guest on ''Private Passions'', the biographical music discussion programme on BBC Radio 3. McKenna has become one of the most successful non-fiction authors in the world with self-help titles including 'I Can Make You Thin', 'Stop Smoking Without Gaining Weight', 'I Can Make You Happy' and 'Hypnotic Gastric Band' included in a wide range of highly popular titles published in countries across the world. McKenna hypnotised The One Show presenter Matt Baker to believe that he was Pablo Picasso during which time he created several impressionist pieces of art, which were shown on air while the footage was played back during McKenna's appearance on 9 January 2013. McKenna has also presented several live events including ''Get The Life You Want with Paul McKenna and Richard Bandler'' and ''Get Thin''.
