Here’s a wonderful new system of self-development based upon the most recent discoveries of the brain sciences and their close relationship to the computer sciences. In this book, U. S. Andersen shows you how your brain and nervous system are under the automatic control of your “Mental Computer”—and gives you scores of “computer instruction” techniques for programming this mental computer to automatically increase your skills and performance in any area you choose! Just as a computer can be programmed, you, too, can rapidly program a “guidance system” and a “power mechanism” into your brain and nervous system—and quickly combine the two into an automatic data processing unit that instantly emits spontaneous success responses to all outside problems. Cramming his book full of true case histories from his own experience in training people, U. S. Andersen gives you a unique approach to solving all your problems . . . handling people more easily . . . and building automatic success habits into your life through mental programming. Within these pages you’ll discover: How to program your mental computer to unleash your greatest potential—under all circumstances and in any situation—and quickly become a winner! How to create a power mechanism that turns on your energies and enthusiasm full blast. How to like yourself—enjoy yourself—while blasting full speed ahead to your targets! How to program the Success Mechanism into your nervous system so that you respond to signals in the same manner as a guided missile. You’ll be astonished at the speed, power and control you’ll develop! How to use programming techniques to constantly improve your skills and abilities, based on a breathtaking, new discovery about how the brain functions! How to “compute” ideas that are productive and useful and put money into your pocket—and how to cast off worthless ideas! How to run your mental data cards through your psychic “scanner” and find quick solutions to unsolvable problems! How to “keypunch” your mental data cards to attract opportunity into your mental computer. Throw luck out the window once and for all. Become a magnet for enterprises that are destined for success! How to operate your mental computer to gain lasting happiness—how to use it to make others happy—how to not only succeed, but how to have fun doing it! . . . plus much, much more! Yes, just as machine “cybernetics” is revolutionizing the technological world, so brain “cybernetics” is revolutionizing the world of man’s performance . . . because it synchronizes your goals with the automatic responses which will achieve them for you. Machine cybernetics already has taken man into outer space. Human cybernetics seems certain to uncover the vast potentials of his inner world—unlocking immense powers of the mind!

The landmark self-help bestseller that has inspired and enhanced the lives of more than 30 million readers. In this updated edition, with a new introduction and editorial commentary by Matt Furey, president of the Psycho-Cybernetics Foundation, the original 1960 text has been annotated and amplified to make Maxwell Maltz's message even more relevant for the contemporary reader. Maltz was the first researcher and author to explain how the self-image (a term he popularized) has complete control over an individual's ability to achieve, or fail to achieve, any goal. He developed techniques for improving and managing self-image visualization, mental rehearsal and relaxation which have informed and inspired countless motivational gurus, sports psychologists, and self-help practitioners for more than sixty years. Rooted in solid science, the classic teachings in Psycho-Cybernetics continue to provide a prescription for thinking and acting that lead to life-enhancing, quantifiable results.

Here are breakthrough principles of positive self-growth, offering a practical, how-to program for building a better life. Readers will learn how to set realistic goals, develop feelings of competence and confidence, prepare for a career change and more.

Unlock the super-computer of your self-esteem. Have you ever thought about your brain like it’s a machine? Maxwell Maltz believes that the human mind is the most powerful computer in the world and that your self-esteem is the software it needs to run. If you need a boost for your self-esteem or you’d simply like to learn more about how to make the most of your mind, Psycho-Cybernetics (1960) is your guidebook to unlocking your potential and creating your best life.

This book, published in 1976, presents an entirely original approach to the subject of the mind-body problem, examining it in terms of the conceptual links between the physical sciences and the sciences of human behaviour. It is based on the cybernetic concepts of information and feedback and on the related concepts of thermodynamic and communication-theoretic entropy. The foundation of the approach is the theme of continuity between evolution, learning and human consciousness. The author defines life as a process of energy exchange between organism and environment, and evolution as a feedback process maintaining equilibrium between environment and reproductive group. He demonstrates that closely related feedback processes on the levels of the behaving organism and of the organism’s nervous system constitute the phenomena of learning and consciousness respectively. He analyses language as an expedient for extending human information-processing and control capacities beyond those provided by one’s own nervous system, and shows reason to be a mode of processing information in the form of concepts removed from immediate stimulus control. The last chapter touches on colour vision, pleasure and pain, intentionality, self-awareness and other subjective phenomena. Of special interest to the communication theorist and philosopher, this study is also of interest to psychologists and anyone interested in the connection between the physical and life sciences.
