Theatre of the Mind traces its origins to Dr. Maxwell Maltz - a world-famous plastic surgeon who discovered the incredible power that existed in a person's self-image.
Through his research, he realized that the real source of people's issues and concerns was not of their outward physical appearance, but how they thought about themselves.
Dr. Maltz's principles of Psycho-Cybernetics have inspired and enhanced the lives of more than 30 million people throughout the world. Psycho-Cybernetics moved human development out of the realm of wishing, hoping, and inconclusive techniques, and into the realm of predictable, positive results.
Matt Furey has spent his life studying, applying, and benefiting from the principles of Psycho-Cybernetics. Through his engagement with these powerful principles, what started as a severe personal crisis turned into a lifetime complete with realized expectations and fulfilled desires. In Theatre of the Mind, Matt shares the ideas, techniques, and strategies that have helped him reached the highest levels of personal achievement and satisfaction, and can do the same for you.
Dr. Maltz coined the phrase "Theatre of the Mind" to represent a place you can mentally go to in order to strengthen your self-image and, ultimately, your life. It's a powerful internal guidance system strengthened by using your creative imagination. The more you use this system, the more you will know the meaning of the saying, "What you want, wants you."
Almost all examples in the book are based on the author's own stories being told through a prism of being a deeply religious person who had a career in martial arts. Nothing wrong with those things. It's just hard to trust claims with no scientific evidence. Although, the book provides some interesting insights into how brain might work in certain circumstances.
Matt Furey ties in material from psychocybernetics and his own and provides a life changing seminar feel of how to leaf an exceptional life with actual tools. A must have in your library.
In terms of learning about Psycho-Cybernetics, I prefer "the New Psycho-Cybernetics" with Dan Kennedy. However, I appreciated hearing Matt Furey expand on the topic in this program.
If you are just getting started with Maxwell Malts, I highly recommend getting the audible edition of New Psycho-Cybernetics with Dan Kennedy first as it includes a really helpful PDF which you can use to understand all the teachings as they apply to you.
P.S. -there are 2 versions of guided meditations at the end of this program! (Main reason why I gave this 4 stars) If you are struggling to establish your own practice using the concepts of Psycho-Cybernetics, as I was after listening to several of these programs, these meditations will help you big time!
