Maxwell Maltz
“Low self-esteem is like driving through life with your hand-break on.” –Maxwell Maltz
The late Dr Maltz discovered an amazing thing in his cosmetic surgery patients. Even though he may have corrected a serious disfigurement a few patients still saw themselves flawed, still suffered from the low self-esteem. Dr Maltz working with the patients and being interested in the guidance system for missiles managed to fuse the concepts into his Psycho-Cybernetics techniques. His resulting book: Psycho-Cybernetics was a best seller in 1960 and has since become a classic. Dr. Maltz has written hundreds of articles and was a leading success speaker for many years.
Dr. Maltz taught that a person should have a positive view of themselves before setting goals otherwise they are limited by these doubts and false beliefs about themselves. Dr. Maltz, like all the best teachers also taught visualization.
Extensive interviews with Dr. Maltz can be seen in this 1996 program promoting a course that can be found on YouTube. It’s dated but has lots of information about what Psycho-Cybernetics is and how you can use it. It highlights the points of the book very well. We’ve linked all the parts of it for you here.
