Dave JohnsonGUEST
And if you know how to operate the vessel, then you should be able to accomplish pretty much what you need to have in life.
Dave JohnsonGUEST
And so the author of the book, a guy named Maxwell Maltz, was a, um, a plastic surgeon, and he got into this because he was the first one to really talk about self-image.
Dave JohnsonGUEST
And as we looked at ourselves from a self-image standpoint, we realized that we have multiple self-images.
Fred GreeneHOST
Hmm.
Kevin TrudeauGUEST
You have an image of yourself in your subconscious called the self-image, the image you have of yourself.
Kevin TrudeauGUEST
Dr. Maxwell Maltz, and you know it better than anybody, wrote the book in 1959 called Psycho-Cybernetics.
Kevin TrudeauGUEST
It's the original version.
Kevin TrudeauGUEST
Later, Kennedy wrote a different version, but this is the original version by Dr. Maxwell Maltz.

Kevin TrudeauGUEST
It doesn't matter how many success seminars you go to, how many success tapes you listen to, how many motivational speeches you hear, how many books you read on manifesting or creating or the law of attraction, none of it is gonna work because it can't get through your self-image filter.
Kevin TrudeauGUEST
You must change the self-image filter.
Pedram ShojaiHOST
Yep.
Pedram ShojaiHOST
It's a number that comes from a book in 1960 by a plastic surgeon named Maxwell Maltz, who noticed that patients typically took about 21 days to adjust to their altered appearance after a surgery.
Pedram ShojaiHOST
Never a study.
Pedram ShojaiHOST
It was never tested.
speaker_1HOST
It's everywhere.
speaker_0HOST
The sources reveal that this entire concept is a massive game of telephone that started with a plastic surgeon in the 1960s named Dr. Maxwell Maltz.
speaker_1HOST
Right.
speaker_1HOST
Dr. Maltz published a book detailing his clinical observations.
Ryan CurtisHOST

Emanuele PaniHOST
Now, next week, I want you to do something before you tune in.
Emanuele PaniHOST
There is a book written in 1960 by a plastic surgeon named Maxwell Maltz.
Emanuele PaniHOST
It's called Psycho-Cybernetics.
Emanuele PaniHOST
And I remember reading it years ago, and it completely blew my mind.
Bob WintersGUEST
And so I did a lot of interviews over, you know, the time or the next couple years to do that master's, but he was one of the first.
Bob WintersGUEST
And then there was Maxwell Maltz, uh, the famous plastic surgeon, Dr. Maxwell Maltz, who talked about psycho-cybernetics.
Bob WintersGUEST
And Dave Stockton back, you know, when he was playing in the PGA Tour, was really a big proponent of that book, talking about the mind and servo-mechanisms and always taking your mind where you want it to go.
Bob WintersGUEST
So if you wanna talk about really where all this mental game stuff came, it came from Dr. David Morley.
Bob WintersGUEST
It came from, like, Dr. Maxwell Maltz, but then people like, you know, Dr.
Bob WintersGUEST
Bob Rotella, who was really with the Golf Digest schools, with, you know, Bob Toski and Sam Snead.
Bob WintersGUEST
And then people like myself who had actually studied with Bob and, and several others.
Wilson LawrenceGUEST
Yep, it's right here.
Wilson LawrenceGUEST
It's written by Maxwell Maltz.
Wilson LawrenceGUEST
M-A-L-T-Z.
Wilson LawrenceGUEST
Maxwell Maltz.
Wilson LawrenceGUEST
Best book I've ever written.
Wilson LawrenceGUEST
Written.
Dan DeightonGUEST
Yeah.
Dan DeightonGUEST
And then another book, which is not on the shelf, but was a huge influence on me, and I'm reading it at the moment, is Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz.
Dan DeightonGUEST
And that's all about self-image.
Dan DeightonGUEST
And essentially that we rise to our own level of self-image.
Dan DeightonGUEST
And Maxwell Maltz was a cosmetic surgeon in, I think the 1930s or between, I think he died in 1965.
Dan DeightonGUEST
So 1900, early 1900s to mid 1900s.
Dan DeightonGUEST
And he, at the beginning of his career, said that people would come to him and request cosmetic surgery and he would just do the surgery.
WillGUEST
Identity shifting hasn't changed.
WillGUEST
The core framework of transformation, I mean, I think was solved perfectly in 1960 by Maxwell Maltz.
WillGUEST
So it's just how do I put it in a way that the market is able to resonate with it and say, oh, that's me.
WillGUEST
I have that problem.
