With the help of his wise and sympathetic words, this book, based on the principles of Psycho-Cybernetics, will help you gain new courage and self-confidence, overcome tension and stress, and give your life more meaning.

Happiness and success are habits. So are failure and misery. But negative habits can be changed - and Psycho-Cybernetics shows you how! This is your personal guide to the amazing power of Psycho-Cybernetics - a program based on one of the world's classic self-help books, a multimillion-copy best seller proven effective by readers worldwide. Presenting positive attitude as a means for change, Maltz's teaching has the ring of common sense.

The Conquest of Frustration is the action program by the renowned author of Psycho-Cybernetics that points you away from disappointment and despair, and toward a happy and zestful life. It shows the listener how to implement the principles of the most life-changing self-help discovery that is as relevant today as when Dr. Maltz wrote his flagship book in the 1960s. Dr. Maltz wrote this subsequent book to reinforce his belief that when we are overcome with frustration, we steer our minds to unproductive, useless, destructive, annihilating goals.

Psycho-Cybernetics bridges the gap between our mechanistic models of the brain's functioning (clichés like "your brain is a wonderful computer") and the knowledge of ourselves as being a lot more than machine. Maltz's genius was in saying that while we are "machines", and while the dynamics of goal setting and self-image might best be described in mechanistic terms, the fantastic variety of our desires and our ability to create new worlds are uniquely human.

The greatest adventure in our lives is to learn the art of being happy. Happiness, like worry, is a habit, just as tying a shoelace or brushing our teeth becomes a habit. And, as you'll learn in this audiobook, it takes only five minutes a day to install happiness as a lifelong habit. Once the happiness habit is developed, it becomes a permanent part of your personality - requiring little or no effort on your part. You'll learn that tensions are at a minimum when we are happy.

Maxwell Maltz (1889-1975) was a plastic surgeon best known for his best seller, Psycho-Cybernetics. In the book, Maltz explains a system of ideas that he thought could improve a person's self-image and would help that person live a more successful and fulfilling life. His ideas focus on visualizing one's goals. Maltz believed if a person's self-image was unhealthy or poor, all of his or her efforts would end in failure.
