Penguin Putnam Inc PsychoCybernetics Updated and Expanded
Book SynopsisSince its first publication in 1960, Maxwell Maltz’s landmark bestseller has inspired and enhanced the lives of more than 30 million readers! In this updated edition, with a new introduction and editorial commentary by Matt Furey, president of the Psycho-Cybernetics Foundation, the original text has been annotated and amplified to make Maltz’s message even more relevant for the contemporary reader.• Cybernetics (loosely translated from the Greek): “a helmsman who steers his ship to port.” • Psycho-Cybernetics is a term coined by Dr. Maxwell Maltz, which means, “steering your mind to a productive, useful goal so you can reach the greatest port in the world, peace of mind.”Maltz was the first researcher and author to explain how the self-image (a term he popularized) has complete control over an individual’s ability to achieve (or fail to achieve) any goal. And he developed techniques for improving and managing that self-image—visualization, mental rehearsal, relaxation—which have informed and inspired countless motivational gurus, sports psychologists, and self-help practitioners for more than fifty years.Timeless teachings based on solid science, Psycho-Cybernetics provide a prescription for thinking and acting that lead to quantifiable results.

Money can be a cause of anxiety, shame and conflict in our everyday lives. A complex web of emotional factors, past experiences and personality all determine the money choices you make and how you feel about them. But how can you overcome these emotional hurdles to make better financial choices?Financial Psychotherapist Vicky Reynal dives into different money behaviours such as overspending, underspending, money secrets and self-sabotage to uncover how our past experiences impact our relationship with money. Reynal reveals how an emotionally absent parent can result in comfort shopping, how bullying in school can lead to overspending, and how absorbing a parent's lack of boundaries can stop you from making rational financial decisions. Through a mix of case studies, client stories and expertise in psychotherapy, Money on Your Mind will help you unpack and understand what is driving your financial behaviours for an improved and healthier relationship with money.

Book SynopsisUSA TODAY BESTSELLER “Think of this book as your personal guide for moving into the leadership spot you dream about—without losing yourself in the web of workplace lies and half-truths women too frequently fall for.” —Forbes A master class “filled with the wisdom that exponentially transforms your career and life” (Maria Shriver’s Sunday Paper), 15 Lies Women Are Told at Work shares the un-common sense women need to succeed—and the lies to ignore along the way.Bonnie Hammer’s legendary career spans five decades in a turbulent, male-driven industry. Today, Bonnie is a powerful leader at the very top of her field, and women at all levels constantly ask her: What is your secret to success? Her power—and her staying power—comes from rejecting common myths about how women are “supposed” to act in the workplace. She knows that the traditional wisdom women are told about work—pithy phrases like “don’t mix work with play,” “talk is cheap,” “follow your dreams,” “know your worth,” “trust your gut,” and “you can have it all”—hold women back. Having risen from an entry-level production assistant whose chief charge was a dog, to a transformative, top executive at NBCUniversal, Bonnie challenges conventional workplace wisdom and shares the un-common sense women need to succeed. Bonnie has mentored countless women in every industry. She’s known for telling the uncensored and uncompromising truth—even when it isn’t easy to hear. Now, she gives you her private master class—replacing the lies women have been fed about work with her unique wisdom. You will learn powerful new truths and easily digestible, practical advice to apply in your own life. Written with humor and heart, and full of insights and research, 15 Lies Women Are Told at Work is an “honest, unfiltered guidebook…a must-read for any woman at any stage in her career” (Chelsea Clinton).
