Maxwell Maltz, M.D., F.I.C.S., discovered the incredible powers of the hidden self-image through his works as a world-famous surgeon. He noticed that many people who don't really need it seek plastic surgery. Over the years he realized that these people's real problem was not their outward physical image but their inner, hidden self-image. These people were unhappy and unsuccessful because their hidden self-images compelled them to make mistakes actually to do the wrong thing. Subconsciously these people were not aware that their self-images were the cause of their failure. They hoped that plastic surgery would change their self image. But, Dr Maltz discovered that even if he did perform surgery, these people were as miserable, as defeated as ever. To help them, he developed the mental exercises and other techniques he gives you in this book. The exercises were so successful, worked such miracles, that Dr. Maltz felt compelled to present his finding to the world.
