About this audiobook
Since its first publication in 1960, Maltz's landmark bestseller 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 reader.
"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 fail to achieve) any goal. And he developed techniques for improving and managing self-image-visualization, mental rehearsal, relaxation-which have informed and inspired countless motivational gurus, sports psychologists, and self-help practitioners for more than fifty 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.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Maltz posits that actions can shape thoughts and perceptions. He argues that you can act your way into a good self-image.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is one of those great books that I wish I had read years ago, and a book that one wants to re-read yearly. Terrific book.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5That’s by far one of the best books I’ve ever read in my entire life (Read 100+). I put this in my top 5.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Read it 30 years ago! It made a huge impression on young little me, so I keep it for sentimental reasons. It is all about how the human brain functions a lot like a goal-seeking (teleological) machine, and that - all we have to do - is to "program" our brains properly. Have no idea what it would be like to read now. If I ever do: you'll be the first to know.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Certainly your outlook on life does affect its quality, BUT saying something doesn't make it so! Maltz's techniques WILL help a person with issues of self-esteem and with correcting the false images detractors may have foisted on one. Calling a child stupid continually, for example, may produce a conviction that he/she shouldn't even try--they can't because they think they can't. The problem with Cybernetics is, a student will not become more knowledgable because he/she "believes" they are good at the subject--UNLESS study is done! Telling yourself you are lovable (without working on your critical, sarcastic responses to others) is self-deception, not self-improvement.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I downloaded the book but it requires me to be online. When I’m online it’s just loading and not playing
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I read this book years ago. It was a gift from my father, who didn't make a practice of buying books or gifting them. I read it on his strong recommendation and using the techniques I managed to considerably improve my bowing average! It's a book I need to re-read!

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Based on my memory of reading this a long time ago, I would describe this as a good, very early popularization of current valid techniques of cognitive therapy. It is also a good attempt at practical application of the ideas of cybernetics.Read a more recent book on the subject.
