Psycho-Cybernetics: Updated and Expanded (Updated, Expanded)

Psycho-Cybernetics: Steering Towards Success and Peace of Mind Since its debut in 1960, Maxwell Maltz's seminal work, "Psycho-Cybernetics," has transformed over 30 million lives. This updated edition, enhanced by Matt Furey, president of the Psycho-Cybernetics Foundation, offers new insights and contextual commentary, making Maltz's pioneering ideas even more accessible to modern readers. Derived from the Greek term for a helmsman steering a ship, Psycho-Cybernetics is Maltz's concept of directing the mind towards productive, beneficial goals, ultimately achieving the ultimate harbor of peace of mind. Maltz, a trailblazer in the field, first expounded on how the self-image profoundly influences an individual's capacity to succeed or fail in achieving goals. His groundbreaking techniques—visualization, mental rehearsal, relaxation—have influenced motivational speakers, sports psychologists, and self-help experts for over half a century. These methods are rooted in robust science, offering a practical framework for thinking and acting that yields measurable outcomes. The timelessness of Psycho-Cybernetics lies in its scientific foundation and its effective approach to personal development. As noted by Tony Robbins in "Unlimited Power," Maltz's concept emphasizes the importance of a clearly defined target for the mind, enabling focused and adaptable pursuit towards the desired goal.
