Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz (high quality)

Cybernetics, derived from the Greek term for "a helmsman steering his ship to port," serves as the foundation for the concept of Psycho-Cybernetics, a term coined by Dr. Maxwell Maltz. This philosophy pertains to the art of steering one’s mind towards a productive and meaningful goal, thereby guiding oneself toward the most coveted of destinations: the tranquility of peace of mind.

Since its initial publication in 1960, Maltz’s seminal work has influenced and enriched the lives of over thirty million readers. This newly updated edition, enriched with a fresh introduction and insightful commentary by Matt Furey, president of the Psycho-Cybernetics Foundation, offers a thorough reexamination and amplification of Maltz's timeless principles, making them even more pertinent for the modern reader.

Maltz taught that before the mind can function at its highest capacity, it must possess a clear vision of the outcomes it seeks to attain. He termed this process Psycho-Cybernetics, for when the mind is given a specific goal, it can focus its efforts with precision, recalibrate, and persist until it reaches the desired result. As Tony Robbins, in his work Unlimited Power, succinctly states, "Before the mind can work efficiently, we must develop our perception of the outcomes we expect to reach."

Maltz was the pioneering thinker who first elucidated the concept of the self-image, a term he popularized, and its profound control over an individual's success or failure in achieving their goals. Through his development of techniques such as visualization, mental rehearsal, and relaxation, Maltz provided a powerful methodology for improving one’s self-image—a methodology that has since inspired motivational leaders, sports psychologists, and self-help practitioners for over five decades.

The principles of Psycho-Cybernetics remain timeless, grounded in sound scientific understanding, and offer a systematic approach to thinking and acting that yield measurable and transformative results.
