Before self-help became a movement, there was Psycho-Cybernetics — the book that taught millions how to reprogram their minds for confidence, purpose, and success. In this episode, we revisit Dr. Maxwell Maltz’s timeless work on self-image and how it shapes every part of our lives.

A plastic surgeon turned psychologist, Maltz discovered that changing a person’s appearance didn’t always change how they felt about themselves — but changing their self-perception did. We talk about the power of visualization, the science of mental rehearsal, and how your brain acts like a goal-seeking machine that moves toward whatever image you hold most clearly.

If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, procrastination, or fear of failure, this episode will help you see that the most important picture you’ll ever change is the one you hold in your mind.

What if the secret to success isn’t talent, luck, or intelligence—but the way you think about them? In Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, world-renowned psychologist Carol Dweck reveals how a simple belief shapes everything we do.
