Psycho Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz Book Summary
Psycho-Cybernetics" by Maxwell Maltz is a self-help book that explores the concept of the self-image and how it shapes our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Maltz draws on the new science of cybernetics, which studies how machines and systems operate with a goal in mind. He argues that our brains are similar to these goal-striving machines, functioning automatically in accordance with our self-image. The book emphasizes the power of our imagination, explaining how it can be used to dehypnotize ourselves from negative beliefs, overcome emotional scars, cultivate a more positive and aggressive attitude, and acquire the habit of happiness. Maltz provides numerous anecdotes, case studies, and practice exercises to illustrate his concepts and guide readers in applying them to their own lives.
