Nothing hypnotic about this

I was excited about the idea of "Hypnotic Episodic Storytelling", which, judging from the introduction, seems to be something along the lines of providing hypnotic foci in the story, which (I'm totally guessing here) would be focal points which the reader is drawn to, which (I'm guessing again) compel them to keep reading.

I listened to the first hour and a half, and I still know nothing more about what Hypnotic Episodic Storytelling is. The first hour was entirely devoted to telling us how great Hypnotic Episodic Storytelling is, without actually saying anything about it.

Then I got into the exercises, which are terrible. They are literally like this: "Take a story of yours. Now make your hero compelling. Give him a goal. Give him a problem. Give him a journey. Now make your hero compelling. Give him a goal. Give him a problem."

I didn't repeat those words accidentally. Several times the lectures repeat a long passage almost word-for-word, still giving no details or examples. At one point the lecturer began giving an example of a motivating story, and I thought, "Ahah! Finally, an example in story!" But it went something like this: "Once there was a girl, and she read a story which motivated her. She wrote a story herself, trying to incorporate her own life problem into it, and made it motivating using the same techniques as the motivating story she'd read. This helped her overcome her problem." It wasn't an example at all.

Listening further, it seems the author believes that the only purpose of a story is didactic, and that the only kind of story any particular author should write is a story about a person like the author who overcomes a problem like one the author has currently in real-life. "Hypnotic storytelling" then would be self-hypnosis, writing a story to administer hypnotherapy to yourself. I have no interest in that.

1 hour and 38 minutes in, I've still gotten less than one minute of advice on how to write a story, and half of it is in this review above.

I didn't mind the robot voice at all. It was understandable, which is all I needed.
