We have all been designed with success in mind. Our own self-image determines just how far we allow our built-in 'success mechanism' to take us. In other words, the results we achieve in life are consistent with our self-image.
Here Maltz teaches us how to improve our self-image to that of our 'real self' (not a fictitious 'super-self' that is unattainable) so we can achieve the results we desire with relative ease. I was slightly surprised - and pleased - to see Maltz say that we are created in the image of God with the purpose of glorifying Him, and that He would not create something unable to meet that purpose.
Maltz teaches how to overcome our beliefs of inferiority and to get in touch with our own unique self. He shows us how to form a clear mental image of our desired results and let our 'success mechanism' take over, living only in the present moment.
How liberating! By changing our beliefs and our focus, we are able to discover our true selves, and put ourselves in motion toward a worthwhile goal. You will learn to be more relaxed, focus your attention on things that are truly important, take responsibility and - as the author says - experience more life.
(From quoting Larry Hehn, USA)

From the Publisher:
Positive wisdom and helpful insights on how to be a successful personHappiness and success are habits. So are failure and misery. But negative habits can be changed - and Psycho-Cybernetics shows you how!This is your personal audio guide to the amazing power of Psycho-Cybernetics-a program based on one of the world's classic self-help books, a multimillion-copy bestseller proven effective by readers worldwide.
Presenting positive attitude as a means for change, Maltz's teaching has the ring of common sense. Psycho-Cybernetics is the original text that defined the mind/body connection - the concept that paved the way for most of today's personal empowerment programs. Turn crises into creative opportunities, dehypnotize yourself from false beliefs, and celebrate new freedom from fear and guilt.Testimonials and stories are interspersed with advice from Maltz, as well as techniques for relaxation and visualization. Dr. Maxwell Maltz teaches you his techniques of "emotional surgery" - the path to a dynamic new self-image and self-esteem and to achieving the success and happiness you deserve!

I hadn't for decades thought about Dr. Maltz's classic of self-help literature until a few days ago when I was having one of those "Where are they now?" reveries about several authors, and for some reason his book popped into my head. Maltz's book was a forerunner of the esteem literature and movement of the 70s but in some ways was never surpassed in its simplicity and relevance.
Dr. Maltz noticed in his medical practice that a very small change in a person's physical appearance often produced dramatic and positive results in that person's personality as a result of their now having a more positive physical self-image, which led him to his idea of developing a positive sense of self-worth based on eliminating false ideas and values and other similar negative thoughts. Maltz believed that people could indeed take control of their minds and using a number of simple but useful techniques you could re-engineer your own attitudes and beliefs and in the process become a happier and mentally healthier person.
Maltz's message is even more relevant today in a culture that if anything is even more appearance-obsessed than it was back then. The mass media's constant barrage of image-conscious messages is even more relentless now and his advice is as useful an antidote against such negative propa- ganda and a shallow and superficial culture that values appearance over substance as it was 40 years ago. Overall, still a classic in the field that is just as relevant today as it was four decades ago.

I bought Psycho-Cybernetics nearly 30 years ago andit still has a special place in my library. As most everybody knows, Dr. Maltz was a plastic surgeon who became discourages when his patients showed no change in personality or happiness even after major plastic surgery. He thought that these people would be new and improved and they would be thrilled. It was t hen that he realized that while their outer selves had changed, their self image had stayed the same.
So Dr. Maltz went into research sudying what makes up the self image. The result is this book which is based on actual experiments with his clients. In short, after performing plastic surgery on his patients, he went to work on their self image as well and the difference was incredible!
Pyscho is of course short for psychology and cybernetics stands for helmsman. This cybernetic mechanism is goal seeking and it can be programmed. The problem is that most of us have been programmed negatively.
This book, the 29th printing, is 15 chapters and 280 pages. It is an easy and enlightening read and includes many exercises to complete which reprograms your cybernetic mechanism. If you haven's already read and studies this book, by all means do. If you already have, read it again.

It's so easy to see how this book has sold over 30,000,000 copies. I can honestly say that I think this book has ended my search for the "perfect" self-help book.
After reading all the glowing reviews I decided to buy this book. Once I started it I couldn't put it down. I've had the book for one week now and I am already seeing results.
About 3 years ago I entered into the world of sales and all of a sudden I became painfully aware of my self-image or my self-esteem as others call it. I became very self-conscious and started down a slippery slope into the world of negative thinking and emotions that weren't helping me at all.
So I did what any person would do who wants to overcome their limiting beliefs and learn how to overcome negative thinking and I started buying self-help litereature. my library is chocked full of books from all the greats. Well I learned something from all the books that I read, but I just felt there was always something missing. I didn't feel like I had the information that I needed to really turn it all around. I tried "Affirmations" etc. with marginal results.
Then I found this book. Maxwell talks about how we act, feel and perform is in direct relation to how we imagine ourselves to be. You may need to read that last sentence again because it's what helped me to start putting it all together. He then gives techniques for changing your self-image and overcoming your negative thinking that really works.
I'm very grateful to Maxwell for writing this book. He really put his heart into it and made a masterpiece!
Please don't make the mistake of not buying this book. It could well be the best money you ever spent! God Bless!

It's been decades since I first read this book - I'm now digging it out for a second read - but it identified some absolutely crucial aspects of the human mind that to my knowledge have either never been adequately presented elsewhere or never given the emphasis they deserve.
The analogy of the mind to a computer is dead-on accurate, with the conscious mind being the "programmer" of the subconscious; the subconscious being the machine-language "operating system" that just does what it's programmed to do, whether positive or negative. Absolutely brilliant and in a way frightening - in the fact of the sheer quantity of people walking the Earth who are utterly ignorant of that fundamental structure of their sole survival tool: their brain. The only other book this vital to human self-awareness is Rand's Intro to Objectivist Epistemology (and of course her philosophical novels.) These all fall into the category of "Goldmines of information that no one else - not your parents, your teachers, certainly not your preachers, your politicians, and sadly, even most licensed psychotherapists - will tell you."
Particularly enlightening - and applicable to so many vital situations in life - is Maltz' identification of the "21 day" phenomenon: the fact that the human mind takes almost exactly 21 days to adjust to a major life change, universally - whether it's a negative like a loss of a limb or a loved one, a change of employment or residence, or positive like entering into a new romantic relationship.
Ever wonder how many couples have broken up because after roughly three weeks the "magic" seems to have dissipated? How in ignorance of this natural aspect of the human mind they automatically assume there was something fundamentally flawed with their relationship? Sad, and so unnecessary.
Read this book if you haven't already, and discover how to operate the complex computational instrument that is your mind.
