Psycho Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz is a self-help book intended to use the principles of cybernetics to better our lives. The main idea of the book is that the inner mind is like an “automatic pilot,” with a hidden program or an internal guidance system that affects our behavior and attitudes. The main intention of Psycho Cybernetics is to provide people with a way to reprogram this inner mind to achieve positive, self-affirming goals.
The author, Maxwell Maltz, was a plastic surgeon for many years and became interested in his own psychology when he found himself unable to cure some of his patients’ issues. He not only felt it was necessary to improve his own mental attitude, but to help his patients in the process. On the basis of his research and experiments, Maltz went on to write a series of books on the subject of “psycho cybernetics”. His approach to psychology and self-help has remained popular to this day.
Psycho Cybernetics focuses on the role of the subconscious and the power that it has over us. Maltz believes that our inner mind is like a computer, a type of “manager” of our thoughts and feelings. We should “listen” to our inner mind and use what we learn to reprogram it and make it work for us, instead of against us. Maltz encourages people to believe in and actively pursue their dreams of success, as this will greatly improve their lives.
Throughout the book, Maltz discusses a range of important topics, such as visualization, creative problem-solving, developing self-esteem and self-respect, and getting rid of fear and worry. He puts great emphasis on the power of positive thinking, believing that our minds have the capacity to be guided and programmed towards a positive outcome. Maltz also enables readers to learn new ways of looking at situations, learn to let go of negative thought patterns, and apply positive affirmations in order to change their lives.
The overall goal of Psychic Cybernetics is to provide readers with a path to a more fulfilling and successful life. It is a book that challenges readers to take charge of their lives and reprogram the inner mind to achieve positive results. By understanding and applying its principles, readers can change the way they think and use their mind power to transform their lives.
