Description

Here, at last, is the secret of bridging the gap between what you have now and what you desire. This book shows you the exercises you must do to unleash the colossal forces in your mind and drive forward to greater prosperity.

THE AUTHOR Maxwell Maltz, M.D., F.I.C.S. is a world famous surgeon. He has practiced in the United States, England, France, Germany, Italy, and Latin America. He has lectured before the University of Paris, the University of Rome, the University of Amsterdam, and many universities in Latin America. He is a frequent contributor to medical journals and the author of two books on surgery. Dr. Maltz discovered the incredible powers of the hidden self-image through his work as a surgeon. He noticed that many people who don't really need it seek plastic surgery. Over the years he realized that these people's real problem was not their outward, physical image, but their inner, hidden self-image. These people were unhappy and unsuccessful because their hidden self-images compelled them to make mistakes, actually to do the wrong thing. Subconsciously these people were not aware that their self-images were the cause of their failure. They hoped that plastic surgery would change their self-image. But, Dr. Maltz discovered that even if he did surgery, these people were as miserable, as defeated, as ever. To help them, he developed the mental exercises and other techniques he gives you in this book. The exercises were so successful, worked such miracles, that Dr. Maltz felt compelled to present his findings to the world.

At first, as he began developing these self-image exercises, he wrote of them in articles in Reader's Digest, Red Book, Cosmopolitan, Coronet and other publications both here and abroad. Then, as he learned more and more about "the magic power of self-image psychology" and as his articles met such universal acclaim, Dr. Maltz. presented his findings in both fiction and non-fiction: Psycho-Cybernetics, Dr. Pygmalion (both best-sellers), Adventures In Staying Young and others.

This book is the culmination of all his past works. It is the most complete and up-to-date. It contains his newest and most important discoveries. It shows you, as no book before by anyone, how to remake your hidden self-image for success and fulfillment. It shows you the road to your dreams.
