Dr. Maxwell Maltz (March 10, 1889-April 7, 1975) was an American cosmetic surgeon who created his self-improvement phenomenon, Psycho-Cybernetics, at age 61, after an already varied, colorful, and exceptionally successful career as a surgeon, writer, and speaker. Published in 1960, Psycho-Cybernetics has sold over 30 million copies since its original printing and remains a classic of self-help, self-improvement, and personal development. According to Dr. Maltz, the psycho-cybernetics process involves steering your mind to productive, valuable goals to reach peace of mind. In Psycho-Cybernetics and all the books that followed, Dr. Maltz speaks to the importance of a healthy self-image, which is the roadmap to creating a better quality of life.
Dr. Maltz made his groundbreaking discovery when he realized his patients expected to feel happy after he gave them perfect new faces. However, it was the inner scars that still needed attention. Cosmetic surgery could not cure feelings of unhappiness, worthlessness, and insecurity. Dr. Maltz suggested that many people "see themselves" inaccurately, their perceptions distorted by unchallenged and often erroneous beliefs embedded in their subconscious minds. After counseling hundreds of patients with his evolving "success conditioning techniques," Dr. Maltz published his findings, in 1960, in the original Psycho-Cybernetics.
Psycho-Cybernetics became an instant bestseller and made Dr. Maltz one of the most in-demand motivational speakers throughout the 1960s and the early 1970s. He went on to amass "case history" material. He produced numerous seminars, workshops, radio broadcasts, and more than a dozen books, all applying Psycho-Cybernetics to different purposes, from business success to athletic achievement to sex life improvement. This book is a classic reprint and part of a new Maxwell Maltz library to continue to make Dr. Maltz's timeless work available to new generations.

Starting to think the 5-in-1 book is just to reiterate some of the more vital points. Solid, but nothing revolutionary here. Do the work.
