Publisher's summary

  • Develop self-confidence

  • Improve your health
  • Make more money

Dr. Maxwell Maltz was a renowned pioneer in plastic surgery when he noticed that while the outward changes to his patients were a success, an inner healing and transformation was necessary for them to achieve the life changes they were seeking. Psycho-Cybernetics is a masterful synthesis of proven psychological and physiological processes, which took Dr. Maltz 29 years of research and testing to develop. His groundbreaking work Psycho-Cybernetics has become an all-time classic in the field of self-image psychology. Since its first publication, this book has inspired and helped millions to achieve ambitious and life-changing goals.

Recently revised and updated, this unabridged audio edition of Psycho-Cybernetics remains true to Dr. Maltz’s visionary approach and proven groundbreaking techniques. These techniques will lead to a dynamic new self-image, greater self-esteem, and the means to achieve a lifetime of success and happiness.

Critic reviews

"A classic of self-help... Maltz was a plastic surgeon who ultimately recommended changing our attitudes towards ourselves, rather than our appearances. Presenting positive attitude as a means for change, Maltz's teaching has the ring of common sense. Testimonials and stories are interspersed with advice from Maltz. Techniques for relaxation and visualization are also covered. Archival recordings of Maltz's talks are interspersed with moderators' instructions. Maltz's speeches are particularly enjoyable. His humor and straightforward approach are refreshing." (AudioFile magazine)

What made the experience of listening to Psycho-Cybernetics: Updated and Revised the most enjoyable?

I read this book originally over 30 years ago. I've re-read it many times since. The revised version is even better. It will change your life if you implement the teachings.

Incredible Read!

I read it at 15 yrs old and it changed my views and attitude for the better. I read it every few years as a reminder. My wife read it recently and she loved it too. Enjoy!

Excellent content

Great overall message. Not being a golfer, I still thought the analogies referencing golf were a good comparison and explained the content well.
Some chapters seemed to almost confuse the message (the chapter that went deep into forgiveness specifically and referenced several bible verses) with a barrage of opinions of how we should consciously set our mind free before success can happen. While earlier it explains that if we dwell on conscience thought or past actions and not let our subconscious do it's job, we will not succeed.
I've only been through the book one full time and halfway through my paper copy, so maybe a better understanding is yet to come. Overall, definitely worth the time.

WOW listened to it 3 times already

I work in behavioral health and have often struggled with understanding my patients often just wanting to give up and walk out.I know how awful this sounds but living in rural Missouri training for my position basically consisted of ok you are a CNA/MA congratulations you're hired. The need is great for this specialty in our area this book is amazing helping me understand more about my patients, myself and I can face our trials with more confidence.

Exceptional, must read

An absolutely incredible book. I've read hundreds of books on the same subject but this one did an exceptional job at breaking down each individual aspect. It gives you such a thorough understanding that allows you to apply its principles under any circumstance.
