Psycho-Cybernetics: Updated and Expanded
Author(s): Maxwell Maltz
Publisher: TarcherPerigee, Year: 2015
Description:
Cybernetics (loosely translated from the Greek) is described as "a helmsman who guides his ship to shore." Dr. Maxwell Maltz invented the word Psycho-Cybernetics, which translates as "directing your mind toward a positive, useful target in order to arrive at the greatest port in the universe, peace of mind."
Since its 1960 debut, Maltz's bestselling novel has influenced and enriched the lives of more than 30 million readers. The initial text has been annotated and amplified in this revised version, which includes a new introduction and editorial analysis by Matt Furey, founder of the Psycho-Cybernetics Foundation.
“Before the mind can function properly, it is necessary to improve our understanding of the desired outcomes. Maxwell Maltz refers to this as Psycho-Cybernetics; when the mind is given a fixed objective, it will concentrate and steer and refocus and redirect before it achieves it.” —Tony Robbins & (from Unlimited Power)
Maltz was the first researcher and author to demonstrate how an individual's self-image (a concept he coined) exerts total influence over his or her capacity to accomplish (or struggle to accomplish) some objective. And he pioneered self-image enhancement and management techniques—visualization, behavioural rehearsal, and relaxation—that have influenced and motivated countless motivational gurus, sports counsellors, and self-help practitioners for more than fifty years.
Psycho-Cybernetics' teachings are timeless since they are founded on sound theory and offer a framework for thought and behaving in ways that produce quantifiable outcomes.
