Psycho-Cybernetics: Updated and Expanded

Description

First published in 1960, Psycho-Cybernetics has influenced more than 30 million readers and remains one of the best-known works on self-image, mindset and personal development.

Maxwell Maltz coined the term “psycho-cybernetics” to describe the process of directing the mind towards productive goals and greater peace of mind. At the centre of his approach is the idea that self-image plays a powerful role in a person’s ability to achieve goals, develop confidence and change long-standing habits.

Drawing on his work and observations, Maltz presents techniques designed to help readers reshape the way they see themselves. These include visualisation, mental rehearsal and relaxation, along with methods for challenging false beliefs, fear and guilt.

The book explores how habits of happiness and success can be developed, while negative patterns can be recognised and changed. Practical exercises and examples encourage readers to apply these ideas to their own lives rather than simply read about them.

This updated edition includes a new introduction and editorial commentary by Matt Furey, president of the Psycho-Cybernetics Foundation, while preserving Maltz’s original teachings on self-image, personal growth and purposeful action.
