Publisher's summary

Cybernetics (loosely translated from the Greek): "a helmsman who steers his ship to port". Psycho-cybernetics is a term coined by Dr. Maxwell Maltz that means "steering your mind to a productive, useful goal so you can reach the greatest port in the world: peace of mind".

Since its first publication in 1960, Maltz's landmark best seller has inspired and enhanced the lives of more than 30 million readers. In this updated edition, with a new introduction and editorial commentary by Matt Furey, president of the Psycho-Cybernetics Foundation, the original text has been annotated and amplified to make Maltz's message even more relevant for the contemporary audience.

"Before the mind can work efficiently, we must develop our perception of the outcomes we expect to reach. Maxwell Maltz calls this Psycho-Cybernetics; when the mind has a defined target it can focus and direct and refocus and redirect until it reaches its intended goal." (Tony Robbins, from Unlimited Power)

Maltz was the first researcher and author to explain how the self-image (a term he popularized) has complete control over an individual's ability to achieve (or failure to achieve) any goal. And he developed techniques for improving and managing self-image - visualization, mental rehearsal, relaxation - that have informed and inspired countless motivational gurus, sports psychologists, and self-help practitioners for more than 50 years.

The teachings of psycho-cybernetics are timeless because they are based on solid science and provide a prescription for thinking and acting that lead to quantifiable results.

Critic reviews

"Psycho-Cybernetics is a classic personal development book. Most of the current speakers in the area of personal development, including Zig Ziglar, Tony Robbins, Brian Tracy and others owe a debt to Maxwell Maltz for the foundation of their material. The psychological training of Olympic athletes is also based on the concepts in Psycho-Cybernetics. Thousands, possibly millions, of people have benefited by putting these ideas to work. Put Psycho-Cybernetics on your 'must-read' list." (Michael C. Gray, Profit Advisors)

"Published in 1960, Psycho-Cybernetics remains one the classics of self-help, self-improvement, and personal development." (Mind of Success)

"An invaluable aid to the layman, offering a sound, scientific method of practical self-improvement." (Mark Freeman, PhD, clinical psychologist)

The most comprehensive psychological manual for improving self image and mastering LOA that is made for everyone.

I have years of therapy including many modalities in conventional or western medicine, holistic healing, and other unconventional modalities such as energy work. I know it is partly because I was ready to receive the words and stories presented and partly because at a deeper level of my being the messages resonate. As more of an intellectual reflector of my reality I am truly infinitely grateful for this book. The book has also brought so much clarity to the words of spiritual teachers that I been following throughout my journey. Read this book. Let the magic begin. Namaste 🙏

Must Read!

This should be standard reading for any human still breathing and desiring to live the best life!!!

good book worth the read!

this book is very good in it's concepts and delivery. the narrator speaks way to slowly for me and I could do without all the reference to the bible and god, otherwise it is a very good book.
