"Psycho-cybernetics" refers to a concept developed by Dr. Maxwell Maltz meaning "steering your mind to a productive, useful goal so you can reach the greatest port in the world: peace of mind."

Dr. Maltz pioneered research explaining how self-image fundamentally controls an individual's capacity to accomplish objectives. In Principles for Creative Living, he presents advanced methodologies for refining and controlling self-image, including visualization, mental rehearsal, and relaxation techniques.

These teachings have shaped motivational experts, sports psychologists, and personal development practitioners for over five decades. They remain relevant because they originate from scientific foundations and offer actionable guidance for thinking and behaving in ways that produce measurable outcomes.

What You'll Learn

Master the Psycho-Cybernetics approach to creative living — Dr. Maltz's system for steering your mind toward productive goals and lasting peace of mind. Learn advanced techniques for refining your self-image, including visualization and mental rehearsal methods used by athletes, business leaders, and performance experts worldwide for over five decades.

About the Author

Dr. Maxwell Maltz was a pioneering plastic surgeon who made a remarkable discovery: outer changes alone did not improve his patients' happiness or self-confidence. This led him to develop Psycho-Cybernetics, a groundbreaking framework for self-image psychology. His 1960 book Psycho-Cybernetics has sold over 30 million copies worldwide and influenced some of the most successful people in business, sports, and personal development.
