Self Image and Psycho Cybernetics

Setting and Achieving Your Goals

His work is based on the workings of the brain, and in particular the left brain right brain balance.

The left side of your brain deals with logic. The right side is more creative.

The key point is that you will not be able to achieve your goals unless you believe deep inside that you are the sort of person who can achieve that type of goal.

There needs to be a match between what you are trying to achieve and 'how you see yourself' - your self image.

The original Psycho-Cybernetics book was published by Maltz in 1960.

Dan Kennedy calls Psycho Cybernetics the original science of self improvement - and he gives three reasons for this claim:

• Its introduction of the idea of the self image - a term Maltz used to describe certain activities in the subconscious mind
• The role of psycho cybernetics as an influence in much of self improvement literature since 1960
• It offers practical techniques you can use - rather than simply philosophical principles

You can read about the self image in much more detail in the following articles on this site:
