Amazing, this book was written 1960 by a plastic surgeon who figured out how much our thinking influences our live. In hindsight the background makes sense because cosmetic surgery can have the same effect as placebos.

Many motivation trainers seem to have absorbed the ideas and put them into neat packages. The problem is to figure out what exactly makes the whole process work. Wishing alone is not enough, nor is positive thinking or willpower. You have to use the right language - and these are feelings, emotions and desire. I must confess that I have underestimated this part and it's something I want to try out.

If you look for a scientific, honest and humble approach then don't look further. This book strikes the right balance and will never be outdated.
