- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very practical and easy to put into practice right away
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Read it 30 years ago! It made a huge impression on young little me, so I keep it for sentimental reasons. It is all about how the human brain functions a lot like a goal-seeking (teleological) machine, and that - all we have to do - is to "program" our brains properly. Have no idea what it would be like to read now. If I ever do: you'll be the first to know.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5My first self-improvement book. Goals oriented / visualizing. Pretty good in theory. Not easy to apply, I thought.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I read this book years ago. It was a gift from my father, who didn't make a practice of buying books or gifting them. I read it on his strong recommendation and using the techniques I managed to considerably improve my bowing average! It's a book I need to re-read!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Based on my memory of reading this a long time ago, I would describe this as a good, very early popularization of current valid techniques of cognitive therapy. It is also a good attempt at practical application of the ideas of cybernetics.Read a more recent book on the subject.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Certainly your outlook on life does affect its quality, BUT saying something doesn't make it so! Maltz's techniques WILL help a person with issues of self-esteem and with correcting the false images detractors may have foisted on one. Calling a child stupid continually, for example, may produce a conviction that he/she shouldn't even try--they can't because they think they can't. The problem with Cybernetics is, a student will not become more knowledgable because he/she "believes" they are good at the subject--UNLESS study is done! Telling yourself you are lovable (without working on your critical, sarcastic responses to others) is self-deception, not self-improvement.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Maltz posits that actions can shape thoughts and perceptions. He argues that you can act your way into a good self-image.
