Psycho-Cybernetics: Updated and Expanded (The Psycho-Cybernetics Series) Paperback – November 3, 2015

I have read countless self-help books. I can honestly say that after reading “Psycho-Cybernetics: Updated and Expanded” by Maxwell Maltz, I do not need to read another self-help book ever again. This book has it all. Incredible insight along with extremely effective exercises that enable the reader to vividly see how to and experience the power of tapping into your subconscious mind.

I recently read "Psycho-Cybernetics: Updated and Expanded" by Maxwell Maltz, and I can honestly say it’s one of the most impactful self-help books I’ve ever encountered. Originally published in the 1960s, this updated version brings the timeless principles of self-image psychology into the modern era, and it’s as relevant today as it was when first written.The core of the book is centered around the concept that our self-image shapes our reality. Maltz, a pioneering plastic surgeon, observed that many of his patients, despite undergoing physical transformations, often struggled with low self-esteem or a poor self-image that wasn’t addressed by surgery. This led him to explore the powerful connection between mind and body, and he coined the term "psycho-cybernetics" to describe the process of reprogramming the subconscious mind to achieve greater success and happiness.What makes this book so compelling is that it’s not just theory—it’s practical and actionable. Maltz provides clear techniques, visualizations, and exercises to help you identify and change limiting beliefs, build a positive self-image, and unlock your full potential. The “updated and expanded” version includes new insights, research, and additional exercises that bring even more value to the original material.One of the key takeaways for me was learning how to reframe my thinking and stop sabotaging my own success due to negative self-talk. The emphasis on visualization and the idea of "success as a process" instead of an end goal really resonated with me. Since reading the book, I’ve noticed a more positive outlook on challenges and greater self-confidence in both my personal and professional life.If you're looking to make lasting changes in your mindset and achieve your goals, "Psycho-Cybernetics: Updated and Expanded" is an essential read. It’s practical, insightful, and transformative—offering valuable tools that can help you reshape your self-image and create the life you want. Highly recommended for anyone serious about personal growth and self-improvement!

This book should be a must read in high schools everywhere. Essentially shows you how your mindset is limiting and it's belief is how successful you will be in life is only as far as our mind let's us. We live in a limited mindset world. This helps break free and get rid of your limited beliefs weighing you down. Setting you up for a wonderfully successful life if you just follow the book. I wish someone made me read this in my early 20s everyone should read this book. It's been rewritten to better understanding nowadays from a cosmetic surgeon's point of view. I absolutely suggest anyone read this.

Terrific read. The principles in this book are life changing.

Every human on planet earth should read this book. The concept of "Self" and how a person can live in misery or joy depending merely on the matter of self esteem. An eyeopening story into human nature. Incredible read.

Great book that follows the audible version. bought both even though they are free online. Font size should be bigger. pages should be whiter. new psychology is easier on the eyes. i am 41.5.

After seeing Psycho-Cybernetics recommended on multiple must-read lists, I knew I had to get it, and I’m so glad I did. This isn’t just a book you breeze through, it’s one that makes you pause, reflect, and truly absorb the concepts. I found myself slowing down often, not because it was difficult to read, but because it challenged me to think deeply about what I had just taken in. A thought-provoking and impactful read, indeed!

Best investment ever and a great read
