 The Positive Power of Negative Thinking: Using Defensive Pessimism to Harness Anxiety and Perform at Your Peak
ASIN: 0465051391
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: I don't know if my first review went through
Comments: What I was emphasizing is that this book challenges some of the more simplistic and superficial beliefs promoted in American pop psychology. Evidence that the author has touched a sensitive cultural nerve is seen in both the positive and the negative reviews. If you want simplistic pop, this is not the book for you. But if you want real psychology for understanding real people, you will appreciate Dr. Norem's excellent book. She explains how the newest ideas and research in cognitive therapy and personality psychology can be applied to everyday life -- to understand one's self, other people, and relationships.

 Improve Your Life with Positive Imaging
ASIN: B0000546NF
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: The Power of Positive Thinking
Comments: It was the most inspirational book I have ever read. Norman has such a way with drawing the reader in the most honest and loveable way I just couldn't put the book down. I also recommended the book to many of my friends who needed to change the way thier life was going, especially the way they were thinking. I want most desperately to get my husband to read the book so he can experience what I did whilst reading his work. The techniques he uses are fantastic, but my husband doesn't read English,he can only read Greek. Please help me in finding a Greek copy. Then we can use our mind powers together and he'd understand what I've been trying to explain to him all along.

Summary: Revelations on Tape
Comments: A great choice (especially for the price) if you're looking for optimism.

 Psycho-Cybernetics
ASIN: B0000544UM
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: The one and only true self-development guide
Comments: Being a motivational junkie, I have personally spent a lifetime jumping from book to book in hope of finding the perfect one that would lead me to success and happiness. This one ended the search.
The thing that's so likeable about Maltz's writing style is that it is simple and direct, with no bells, whistles or gimmicks. It's easy to read and understand. Too many so-called self-help authors try to make themselves look big and impressive, by using useless jargon to complicate their work. Not Maltz, he was genuinely interested in helping others and you can feel it from reading his work or listening to the tapes.
Too many books give you a pump up and ask you to plow through them again in order to keep the motivation going. But this book is different in that it forces an individual to plow deep within themselves to "fix the cause" of their failures so they can succeed without constantly having to apply will power. It is a self-improvement book based on science and scientific fact. Using this book I was able to start my own business and it has been successfully running for 4 years now.
My only complaint about this book, is that the cover is the most ugliest and unattractive I've ever seen ( But you know the saying about judging a book by it's cover).My advice would be to buy the book. Why not? it costs practically nothing and is more effective than most of the stuff that comes out today. I would also advise you to listen to the tapes also and avoid the 2000 version written by Bobbe Summers. And don't worry about geting bored, this book is a pleasure to read. No wonder it's sold over 30 million copies.
