Summary: Great Update of a Classic!
Comment: Dan Kennedy has done a brilliant job of giving Dr. Maltz's classic text a contemporary feel while remaining true to the original version.
I still have my 1974 Pocket Book edition of Psycho-Cybernetics and its ideas and insights helped me a lot in understanding life and success and how I could control my own destiny.
This updated version is even better! I especially liked the PRESCRIPTION and MENTAL TRAINING EXERCISE boxes that Mr. Kennedy has strategically placed throughout the book. They contain very clear suggestions and practical exercises for living an abundant and fulfilling life. For example, he prescribes keeping a "success diary" as a tool for building a stronger self-image. And on page 201, there is an powerful exercise for developing the all important habit of forgiveness.
One of the insights Dr. Maltz gave me that helped clarify my own life journey was his understanding that our unconscious minds cannot distinguish between a real experience and the same experience vividly imagined. Years later I found confirmation for this idea in Quantum Physics.
Nobel Prize winning Physicist Niels Bohr's Complementarity Principle shows us that the mental aspect of an imagined experience is complementary to its physical aspect. Both are equally 'real'. No wonder imagination and visualization are such valuable skills to master for anyone who wants to transform their dreams into physcial reality.
I wonder if Dr. Maltz and Dr. Bohr ever had a conversation!
Dan Kennedy has done a tremendous favor for anyone who wants knowledge and practical applications for being more successful. I applaud his efforts.

Summary: This Book Will Become a Life-Reference For Me.
Comment: Not only does this book tell you why, it tells you what to do about it if you want to change your habits. It is chock-full of examples and studies that prove the points.
It is easy to read and explains in an easy-to-understand way of why we do the things we do and how to make ourselves do the things we want to do.
Actually, I can't believe that the original book has been around for 40 years and I haven't read it. In fact, it kinda makes me mad that someone hasn't said, "Bill, you have to read this" a long time ago. This is awesome. There are action steps at the end of each chapter to tell you exactly how to implement each idea. It is even subtitled to make it easy to read and highlight for future reference. You have to read this!
Dan Kennedy did an incredible job updating the book to be meaningful for today's world, yet preserving the integrity of the original book. It reads like an original!
I believe the lessons I have learned from reading this book will take me to another level of accomplishment.

Summary: Get the Original Instead...
Comment: The first rewrite by Bobbe Summers in Psycho-Cybernetics 2000 tried to make the book seem more cute and fair to women in terms of using more female examples. It also contained a lot of boring everyday examples in the authors own life as material as well. Needless to say, it was a flop.
Now it's Dan Kennedy's turn and frankly, I don't think it gives the original any justice. Here's why.
1) First of all this new versions seems to drag on and on, whereas the original was short and to the point. Whatever Maltz says in one page takes three pages by author Dan Kennedy.
2) This version seems more confusing because Dan Kennedy adds all his material in first person point of view. At one point he's talking about something from the 1920's and then all of a sudden it jumps to the new millenium, making it seem as though Maltz is still alive and has been around for a long time. While I do admit that it helps Maltz's spirit live on, it also makes him seem less credible as an author for being over 120 years old.
3) Yes, it's true that Dan Kennedy does add in a lot of modern day examples but these examples essentially have no new impact of meaning to what Maltz has already said. Absolutely Nothing.
4) Dan Kennedy has the worst reading voice I have ever heard out of anybody else alive. His audio book based on this new version is horrible. I'm sorry but that's just thew ay it is. It's boring.
5) Why would you pay an extra $20 for an inferior product. Just get the original. It's a far superior product AND it costs less too. It's smaller too and fits in your pocket!
So that's my verdict. Just get the original and don't waste time with this. May all future authors not tamper with this book again. It is a classic and rewriting it serves the same injustice as making as doing a repainting of Mona Lisa's Simle. By the way, the audio cd makes a great companion to the original too, and is solely based on Maltz's stuff as are the abridged tapes.
