Summary: Something about this book doesn't sit well with me
Comment: I have had this book(2000 version) for years and every time I try and read it I can never complete it. I don't know if it is because of how closely it is typed together or the checklist to dos or what. This book just doesn't resonate with me. It is hard to change your life if you can't even get through the book. Save your money and buy the original version.

Summary: Great book... but only if you seek further insight
Comment: Although I like the book, nothing can compare to the original. Read Psycho-Cybernetics by Maltz or the revised version by Kennedy first. I read both versions and you can't go wrong with either one. Then if you're serious about implementing the ideas/methods of Psycho-Cybernetics in your life, read Psycho-Cybernetics 2000. This book has numerous examples of how people use the ideas and methods of Psycho-Cybernetics to overcome hardships/trials and tribulations in their lives. There are also helpful techniques in this book that are not mentioned in the other versions. Great book!

Summary: Good Book
Comment: I have read the original and I have read this one. The original is great. This one is better. It has concrete steps and explains how exactly to implement Maltz's revolutionary ideas of self-image enhancement. I got the feeling with the original that Maxwell Maltz was so turned on and excited by these new discoveries that he was eager to just "get it out there" and worry about the details later. The creators of Psycho-Cybernetics 2000, having had the opportunity to see Maltz's ideas applied in the field for 33 years, show us concrete examples of how actual people applied Psycho-Cybernetics to improve their actual experience. The example about the good-looking guy who couldn't get it up was a gem. I am not a flag-defender (I call people who are more interested in explaining why one methodology is better than another instead of just using whatever method to get results, flag-defenders) and many of the negative reviews seem to be written by these people. In PC 2000 you will find a much clearer language as to how to actually put Maltz's ideas into practice. That being said, the original is great for giving you the backgroud for the power of the self-image. In short, if I were to choose an action book, get PC 2000; if you want a theroy book with a few applicable ideas, get Maltz's original PC.

Summary: Useful, clear, and comprehensive
Comment: I'm not familiar with the original work done by Maltz in the sixties and found this to be a useful book. The writing is clear and the concepts are easily understood. I would have liked more updated information about the biology and study of the concepts but maybe that's for another book. If you're familiar with modern self-help there won't be anything shocking here but it's interesting to read about it in the original language so to speak. I was happily surprised by the comprehensiveness of the book: there are chapters on the basics, goal setting, changing your beliefs, and putting all the concepts together. Something you won't see in many other self-help books is a chapter on what to do when nothing is working. I liked the book and would recommend it as a good starting place.

Summary: Get the Original !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comment: This book is a complete spin-off of the original PSYCHO CYBERNETICS By Maxwell Maltz, which was a classic. Don't buy this book as it's just a get-rich-quick scheme by the author Bobbe Sommer as she adds nothing substantial to the original material, just her own boring stories. I have the original book by Maxwell Maltzand it is one of the best self help book I have ever read. Bobbe Sommer has just ruined the PSYCHO CYBERNETICS philosophy by adding her own crap in this book.
