Psycho-Cybernetics Mass Market Paperback – 15 Aug. 1989

by Maltz (Author)
4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,176 ratings
Put more living in your life! Psycho-Cybernetics is renowned doctor and professor Maxwell Maltz's simple, scientific, and revolutionary program for health and success.

Happiness and success are habits. So are failure and misery. But negative habits can be changed--and Psycho-Cybernetics shows you how!

This is your personal guide to the amazing power of Psycho-Cybernetics--a program based on one of the world's classic self-help books, a multimillion-copy bestseller proven effective by readers worldwide. Presenting positive attitude as a means for change, Maltz's teaching has the ring of common sense.

Psycho-Cybernetics is the original text that defined the mind/body connection--the concept that paved the way for most of today's personal empowerment programs. Turn crises into creative opportunities, dehypnotize yourself from false beliefs, and celebrate new freedom from fear and guilt.

Testimonials and stories are interspersed with advice from Maltz, as well as techniques for relaxation and visualization. Dr. Maxwell Maltz teaches you his techniques of "emotional surgery"--the path to a dynamic new self-image and self-esteem and to achieving the success and happiness you deserve!

I bought this book when I was at a very low point in my life. I had lost my job, my relationship had ended and I was in despair. I saw a you tube video where an American personal trainer recommended this book, so I thought I'd give it a go. Although I'm writing this review 3 years after I bought and read this book, I can honestly say it's the best book I have ever read in my life. It put a lot of things into perspective for me and helped me get a grip of my life and move on. I would highly recommend this to anyone as its a great read and easy to read for just ordinary folk like me! But it you won't be disappointed!!

    This book is beyond perfection. I ordered it after I read a synopsis and saw a video about it and I knew I had to get it. It is absolutely fantastic with such great depth. It is such a deep book and a brilliant read. Knowledge is potential power but applied knowledge is miraculous power and the knowledge in this book, when applied, is beyond words can describe.

    I rated it a 5 star because i could talk about it for 24 hours and not be done or bored. Its just phenomenal
    I love the service too from superbooksdeal. I didn't like the fact that they said it would get to me either on or after the 20th of June but it certainly got to me much earlier. I think it arrived just before the month of June even started so that was brilliant.
    I recommend this book to anyone who loves self improvement and is willing to do what it takes to change their lives or move their lives to the next level. Request for this book and apply the knowledge and watch your life soar like an eagle.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Life changing!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 November 2012

    I read a lot of book reviews and sometimes it's hard to believe how a book can change someone's life but after reading some special books I can understand that feeling, which is amazing!

    Personally, this book helped me change my life in a crisis situation where my self-esteem and life in general was an all-time low. I was fighting through depression and it helped turn my life into a new and better direction.

    It guided me through times of despair and thanks to it I unlocked the real person I am which was lost in negativity and pain acumulated. I now appreciate myself much more, have better relationships, developed a much better self-image of myself, stopped comparing to anyone else, etc

    It answered very important questions about myself and other people in general that kept me feeling depressed and disappointed.

    It's a small book, very easy to read with a very straightforward approach by the author. You'll be engaged in it. Read it with an open mind and absorb the information given and you'll find it the best money you ever spent.

    Thank you Mr.Maltz

    5.0 out of 5 stars A very interesting and stimulating read
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 March 2012
    Verified Purchase
    I was recommended to buy this book as its suggested techniques can be adopted by anyone, of any discipline. It was of particular interest to me as and several musicians have benefitted from its ideas. The original book, is now over 50 years old, and although updates have been published the techniques and approaches are apparently still the same. Despite its rather off-putting title, it is an easy worthwhile read for anyone wanting to build self confidence, feel more positive, relate to others more effectively and much more. It is not a heavy tome and can be read in small sections. There are exercises that have to be undertaken (but these are not burdensome, or very time consuming) in order to achieve the expected goals. I can see why the book has lasted so long in print, and would recommend it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Psycho Cybernetics
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 September 2012
    Verified Purchase
    Maxwell Maltz's phenomenal best seller is a study book that has always been on my radar, as I have heard so many positive things about this man and his ideas. In my opinion this pocket study book has everything a human being could wish for in order to transform every aspect of their lives from chaos into coherence. In my opinion it is written in a style that can be understood by anyone, without any of the silly jargon one gets in personal development books of today,one of the lines in the book that really stood out for me is.... "A human being acts, feels, and performs in accordance to what he imagines to be true about himself and environment". The concept that a persons "self image" is the determining factor as to why their lives are either in chaos or in coherence is so rich with truth.

    This book should have been named "How to improve your self-image in a few easy steps". Psycho - Cybernetics is a bit of a mouthful! But it's the contents that matter most...

    Since it's publication many other self-help books have been written about this subject in different guises. It's a wonderfully practical and pragmatic book. It offers a potential cure for depression; assisting us (through the use of visualisation) to use better thought processes that lead us to better conclusion about ourselves, which of course will make us feel better and happier in life. Of all the self-help books I have read this one is in the top few. The audio version can be listened to on youtube free of charge. It was released by the Maxwell Maltz foundation into the public domain.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 August 2012
    Verified Purchase
    I recently purchased Psycho Cybernetics in hard copy and downloaded an audio version when i'm out and about.

    The main structure of this excellent companion is based upon one's 'Self Image', and how to create, manage and align
    your self image to create success in any field. There are so may 'self-help' books on the market and one really doesn't
    know which way to turn. However, this book was recommended by a fellow author and this is simply a revalation.

    You can't go wrong with Psycho Cybernetics, great book.

    This is one of the first texts around self-development many decades ago. Tony Robbins, Mel Robbins, Les Brown, Eric Thomas etc all have concepts from this book and other self-development coaches. Great read and great reminder of some extremely impactful things that are so simple to implement in our lives.

    Reviewed in Canada on 29 June 2021

    This book is my personal bible. There is no greater book that I have read in regards to self-help (and I've read a LOT of them!)

    Despite it's dated nature, and the fact that some of the examples are perhaps 'old', if you have a hard time discerning the value of the lessons of what Maxwell Maltz is teaching then it's on you to improve your reading comprehension.

    This book has been the reason for my success in starting a sales job for the first time. It's been the reason for me getting a gig as a musician for a band in a tour spanning all of North America. It's the reason I'm able to persevere despite debilitating mental health issues. It's the reason that my family life has improved.

    Everything in this book is golden. My copy is now battered, with many pages folded over to show my future self - Hey! Look! This page has a great insight! Even my partner has read it and has recommended her therapist friends read it. The value is real.

    If you are thinking about buying this book, don't think. This is one of those books that can create a space within you that is beyond the philosophy of stoics - you won't need to study ancient Greeks to get a better sense of how to live your own best life in your best way as your best version. Maxwell Maltz is a blessing of a human and I thank him every time I open up book.

    I'll be framing the cover so my children will know his importance in my life.
