Maxwell Maltz was an American cosmetic surgeon and author known for his self-help book "Psycho-Cybernetics." His work focused on the impact of self-image on personal success and well-being. Maltz's ideas on self-perception and mental programming have influenced the fields of psychology and personal development, providing practical insights for improving self-confidence and achieving personal goals.

"For imagination sets the goal picture which our automatic mechanism works on. We act, or fail to act, not because of will, as is so commonly believed, but because of imagination."



"Often the difference between a successful man and a failure is not one's better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on his ideas, to take a calculated risk, and to act."



"We are built to conquer environment, solve problems, achieve goals, and we find no real satisfaction or happiness in life without obstacles to conquer and goals to achieve."



"To think, when one is no longer young, when one is not yet old, that one is no longer young, that one is not yet old, that is perhaps something."



"Accept yourself as you are. Otherwise you will never see opportunity. You will not feel free to move toward it; you will feel you are not deserving."



"Close scrutiny will show that most "crisis situations" are opportunities to either advance, or stay where you are."



"The "self-image" is the key to human personality and human behavior. Change the self image and you change the personality and the behavior."



"Realizing that our actions, feelings and behaviour are the result of our own images and beliefs gives us the level that psychology has always needed for changing personality."
