The ultimate 365-day guide to the life-changing principles of Psycho-Cybernetics
In 1960, Dr. Maxwell Maltz introduced his revolutionary theory of the science of using self-image psychology, visualization and action to achieve your goals.

Psycho-Cybernetics 365 contains quotes and ideas from a variety of Dr. Maltz's works, including his classic Thoughts to Live By. Matthew Furey, a Maltz scholar and president of the Psycho-Cybernetics Foundation, decodes these ideas with practical and inspiring insights to help the reader implement the unique psycho-cybernetics principles of visualization and goal-striving to reshape their lives and increase their achievements each day of the year.
By following the daily wisdom of Psycho-Cybernetics 365, readers will understand how to “steer their ship,” and accomplish far more than they ever believed possible.

Pre-Read Notes:
I didn't know what psycho-cybernetics was, but I was curious, so I grabbed this arc!
Final Review
(thoughts & recs) This book is designed with 365 short readings about the topic of psycho-cybernetics. That name for me is kind of a lot, and I don't see how it applies to this system, but beyond that, it's compelling stuff. It reminds me of an excellent book I once read by Dr. Wayne Dyer called CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS, CHANGE YOUR LIFE, which I loved. I stopped reading this after the January and February sections, as I plan to take it up in a paper copy and read it as it was designed.
I recommend this book to readers of self-help and leadership books, Dr. Wayne Dyer, and anyone who acknowledges the power of thought to affect their lives.
My 3 Favorite Things:
✔️ I like the form here. Giving readers a lot of information all at once is hard on the reader. But this almost 800 page book breaks the information down into 365 readings meant to be read 1 at a time, every day, for a year. Forms like this really work for me!
✔️ "Your self-image is the key that unlocks and drives your personality, your feelings, your behavior, and your results. It is the blueprint that tells your brain and nervous system what is and isn’t possible for you. This blueprint can be changed by shifting how you use your imagination." p11 This may sound like woo but it's not. It's been indicated in more than just case studies, but also in large studies.
✔️ I'm officially buying a copy. Each of the readings builds on the last, with new concepts nesting I what came before. It's well designed.
Thank you to the authors Maxwell Maltz, MD and Matthew Furey, St. Martin's Essentials, and NetGalley for an accessible digital arc of PSYCHO-CYBERNETICS 365. All views are mine.

Observation No. 1: This is an insightful, enlightening book whether or not you read - as I did - the original Psycho-Cybernetics that was written by Dr. Maxwell Maltz and published around 1960.
Observation No. 2: This likely will be the shortest book review I've ever written.
The first observation needs no further explanation, but the second one is a bit more complicated. As the book description says, psycho-cybernetics basically is using using self-image psychology, visualization and action to achieve your goals. That kind of thinking and acting has been a way of life for me for many, many years; but recently finding myself having to deal with a life-altering situation, I felt I could use a boost and thus was very intriged with this book (hey, even the most inner-directed and self-motivated folks can use an occasional boot in the derriere, capisce)?
What the author - president of the Psycho-Cybernetics Foundation - has done, then, is to revisit, if you will, basic ideas presented by the late Dr. Maltz and, as he puts it, lay them out in "manageable chunks" - meaning one for every single day of a year. And that's why my review necessarily is short: the chapters are brief, and trying to summarize them would leave less for readers to experience for themselves.
I am not, however, above offering a few examples, such as this one from the first day of the year: "How you see yourself in your mind's eye changes how you feel and the results you experience in life."
Or, how about, "Body, mind and spirit are interconnected. When you elevate one, the others improve as well."
Then there's one of my personal favorites: "Life is always exciting when you're involved in learning something new."
You get the drift. And if you want to improve your life, get the book. As for me, I thank the publisher, via NetGalley, for the opportunity to get my head back on straight by way of a pre-release copy.
