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. Maltz posits that actions can shape thoughts and perceptions. He argues that you can act your way into a good self-image. no reviews | add a review
