In this updated edition ofPsycho-Cybernetics, with a new introduction and editorial commentary by Matt Furey, president of the Psycho-Cybernetics Foundation, the original text has been annotated and amplified to make Maltz's message even more relevant for the contemporary reader.
Dr. Maxwell Maltz received his doctorate in medicine from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University in 1923. After postgraduate work in plastic surgery in Europe, Maltz was appointed to head several departments of reparative surgery in New York hospitals over his long and distinguished career. He was a prominent international lecturer and on the psychological aspects of plastic surgery. He published two books on the subject, New Faces, New Futures and Dr. Pygmalion. In 1960, after nearly a decade of counseling hundreds of such patients, extensive research and testing his evolving theory of "success conditioning" on athletes, salespeople and others, he published his findings-then radical ideas-in the first edition of Psycho-Cybernetics, which went on to sell millions of copies and to be translated in dozens of languages. Matt Furey, president of the Psycho-Cybernetics Foundation, a national and world title-holder in wrestling and martial arts, a bestselling fitness author as well as successful internet entrepreneur, has committed himself to preserving and extending the legacy of Maltz's work. Furey headlines sold-out seminars and coaches hundreds of men and women in his highly successful MasterMind/Joint Venture Connection, as well as the Psycho-Cybernetics Coaching Program.
Reviews of Maxwell Maltz’'s original Psycho-Cybernetics:
“Psycho-Cybernetics is a classic personal development book. Most of
the current speakers in the area of personal development, including
Zig Ziglar, Tony Robbins, Brian Tracy and others owe a debt to
Maxwell Maltz for the foundation of their material. The
psychological training of Olympic athletes is also based on the
concepts in Psycho-Cybernetics. Thousands, possibly millions, of
people have benefited by putting these ideas to work. Put
Psycho-Cybernetics on your ‘"must-read’" list.”
--Michael C. Gray, Profit Advisors
“Published in 1960, Psycho-Cybernetics remains one the classics of
self-help, self-improvement, and personal development.”
--Mind of Success
“An invaluable aid to the layman, offering a sound, scientific
method of practical self-improvement.”
--Mark Freeman, Ph.D., clinical psychologist
“This classic by Maxwell Maltz is considered by many experts in the
field to be the grandfather of all self-help books. Although it was
written in 1960, Psycho-Cybernetics is just as relevant more than
50 years later. His timeless tenets offer a road map for self-image
improvement and better quality of life.”

“Maxwell Maltz, author of Psycho-Cybernetics, was an early exponent
of the visualization principle. Almost half a century ago, he
captures a truth that can literally transform the way we think,
act, and communicate.”
--Bert Decker, You’ve Got to Be Believed to Be Heard
“Psycho-Cybernetics has sold in its millions because it provides a
scientific rationale for dream fulfillment. The science
and computing references are now outdated, but the principles
of cybernetics have only grown in influence. Complexity theory,
artificial intelligence, and cognitive science all grew out if the
cybernetic understanding of how the non-physical, the ‘“ghost in
the machine,’” guides matter. This makes Psycho-Cybernetics the
perfect self-help book for a technical culture.”
--Tom Butler-Bowdon, 50 Self-Help Classics
“Psycho-Cybernetics was written back in 1960, but it was way ahead
of its time. Maxwell Maltz was a successful plastic surgeon in the
States, and he was puzzled by the attitudes of some of his patients
whose plastic surgery was successful, but they still felt ugly
inside. This book explores the psychology of self-image, and its
profound effects on all our lives. But Maxwell Maltz goes further,
and sets out an action plan to change your self-image from a
disempowering one to an empowering one. Ever wondered how some
people seem effortlessly successful, wealthy, fit and healthy,
while others struggle and seem to get nowhere? The answers lie in
the concepts set out in this book: the self-image, the subconscious
mind, the power of visualization, relaxed concentration,
goal-setting.”
