Since its publication in 1960, this bestselling book by Maxwell Maltz has inspired and improved the lives of more than 30 million people. In this updated edition, which features a foreword, afterword, and commentary by Matt Furey, president of the Psycho-Cybernetics Foundation, the original text has been enriched to make Maltz's message even more relevant to contemporary readers. Psycho-cybernetics is a term coined by Dr. Maxwell Maltz that means "to direct the mind toward a productive and useful goal in order to reach the best harbor in the world: peace of mind." Maltz was the first researcher and author to explain how self-image (a term he popularized) has complete control over a person's ability to achieve (or not) any goal. He also developed techniques for improving and managing self-image—visualization, mental rehearsal, relaxation—that have influenced and inspired countless motivational teachers, sports psychologists, and self-help practitioners for over fifty years. The teachings of psycho-cybernetics are timeless because they are based on solid scientific knowledge and provide methods of thought and action that lead to measurable results.
