TODAY’S INSTRUCTOR: DR. MAXWELL MALTZ

March 10, 1899 –April 7, 1975 an American cosmetic surgeon and author of Psycho-Cybernetics, which was a system of ideas that he claimed could improve one’s self-image leading to a more successful and fulfilling life.

Dr. Maxwell Maltz created his self-improvement phenomenon, Psycho-Cybernetics, at age 61, to an already varied, colorful and exceptionally successful career.

For many years, Dr. Maltz had a flourishing practice as a reconstructive and cosmetic facial surgeon. Later still he lectured internationally on his medical specialty, and pursued a dual career as a prolific author.

Dr. Maltz was inspired to move from treating “outer scars” to “inner scars” after seeing many patients’ continuing to have feelings of unhappiness, unworthiness as well as personal insecurities that were not cured from surgery, even though they and Dr. Maltz believed they would feel happy when he gave them the perfect new faces they desired.

Dr. Maltz first wrote of this discovery in his book New Faces, New Futures. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Maltz suggested that many people “see themselves” inaccurately, their perceptions distorted by unchallenged and often erroneous beliefs imbedded in their subconscious mind. After a decade of counseling hundreds of patients, extensive research on everything from German missile guidance technology (then more advanced than our own) to hypnosis, and testing his evolving “success conditioning techniques” on athletes and salespeople, Dr. Maltz published his findings, in 1960, in the original Psycho-Cybernetics book.

Psycho-Cybernetics became an instant bestseller and made Dr. Maltz one of the most in-demand motivational speakers throughout the 1960’s and the early 1970’s. Dr. Maltz went on to amass a wealth of “case history” material, seminars, workshops, radio broadcasts, over a dozen books all applying Psycho-Cybernetics to different purposes, from business success to athletic achievement to sex life improvement.

Maxwell Maltz passed away at age 76, but his legacy LIVES on through the instruction and teachings of Matt Furey, President of the Psycho-Cybernetics Foundation, Inc.
