Summary of Maxwell Maltz's Psycho-Cybernetics

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Self-Image is your key to a better life. It is the result of the work and findings of clinical psychologists, practicing psychiatrists, and cosmetic or so-called plastic surgeons. #2 The self-image is the mental blueprint or picture of ourselves that we carry with us. It is our own conception of the sort of person I am. We have built it up from our own beliefs about ourselves, but most of these beliefs have unconsciously been formed from our past experiences. #3 The self-image can be changed. It is impossible to really think positively about a situation if you hold a negative concept of your self. If you can change your self-conception, your attitude towards the situation will change. #4 Lecky used the same method to cure students of such habits as nail biting and stuttering. He would have them identify with their mistakes and failures, instead of saying I failed that test or I flunked that subject.
