A review by clintoon
Psycho-Cybernetics: Updated and Expanded by Maxwell Maltz

2.0

The core message of the book is interesting, to have a goal in mind so that your success mechanism can work you towards it, however, much of the book feels dated. It does feel like the first motivational book of its kind, and I can see how The Secret took this idea and gave it a horrible new-age spin. The stuff that put me off were the constant religious references used to prove points and some of the material seemed a little sexist, such as examples that used scornful wives and women who lose attractiveness because all they do is work and so they have 'no use' for looks. The core idea is good, so I'd just recommend watching a summary video of the book on YouTube.
