Sharhlar Maxwell Maltz: Psycho-Cybernetics(Updated and Expanded)

Cybernetics (freely translated from Greek): "helmsman leading his ship to port." Psychocybernetics is a term coined by Dr. Maxwell Maltz which means "to direct your mind towards a productive, useful goal so that you can reach the greatest port in the world - peace of mind."

Since its first publication in 1960, Maltz's seminal bestseller has inspired and improved the lives of more than 30 million readers. In this updated edition, with a new introduction and editorial commentary by Matt Fury, President of the Psychocybernetics Foundation, the original text has been annotated and expanded to make Maltz's message even more relevant to the modern reader.

“Before the mind can work effectively, we must develop our perception of the results we expect to achieve. Maxwell Maltz calls it psychocybernetics; when the mind has a definite goal, it can focus and direct, refocus and redirect, until it reaches the intended goal.” - Tony Robbins (from Unlimited Power)

Maltz was the first researcher and author to explain how the concept of self (a term he popularized) completely controls a person's ability to achieve (or not achieve) any goal. And he developed methods for improving and managing self-esteem—visualization, mental rehearsal, relaxation—that have informed and inspired countless motivation gurus, sports psychologists, and self-help practitioners for over fifty years.

The teachings of psychocybernetics are timeless because they are based on solid science and provide a recipe for thinking and acting that leads to measurable results.
