• Cybernetics (loosely translated from the Greek): “a helmsman who steers his ship to port.” • Psycho-Cybernetics is a term coined by Dr. Maxwell Maltz, which means, “steering your mind to a productive, useful goal so you can reach the greatest port in the world, peace of mind.” Maltz was the first researcher and author to explain how the self-image (a term he popularized) has complete control over an individual’s ability to achieve (or fail to achieve) any goal. And he developed techniques for improving and managing that self-image—visualization, mental rehearsal, relaxation—which have informed and inspired countless motivational gurus, sports psychologists, and self-help practitioners for more than fifty years. Timeless teachings based on solid science, Psycho-Cybernetics provide a prescription for thinking and acting that lead to quantifiable results.
