8 Lessons From "Psychocybernetics" That Gave Me Aura

I used to be my own top hater. 

Like many young men, my focus was on the flaws — 

Not reality. 

The truth was…

I’ve been him all along. 

But I didn’t realize it until I read this life-changing book: 

“Psychocybernetics.”

Written by Dr. Maltz, the book talks about shifting your mindset so you can live out your wildest dreams

He’s not lying. 

With this book, I’ve been able to…

  • Hit new PRs in the gym 
  • Flirt without hesitation
  • Write my best work in a fraction of time  

Just like how Mariah Carey made “All I Want For Christmas” in 15 minutes. 

So here are the 8 most important jewels from the book. 

Have fun. 

1 — Your brain can’t tell the difference between detailed imagination and past experiences 

80% of “Psychocybernetics” is about first person visualization. 

So here’s a streamlined how to guide:

  • Imagine yourself IN DETAIL accomplishing your goals 
  • Use the first person POV

Why? 

Dr. Maltz found that your brain treats these visualizations the same way as real world practice.

So if you want to ooze aura and confidence…

Gain experience through first person visualization. 

It’s the gym for your self-image. 

2 — Perspective changes the meaning of your scars 

I have a scar on my face from when I landed on a woodchip. 

It’s either ugly or metal AF.

But guess who decides that?

Me. 

And I go one step further than the doc here: 

Stop caring what the group thinks. 

Your life. 

Your standard. 

Your power. 

3 — Let your brain do the work

AKA…

The flow state.

Just like a piano player, take some time to consciously practice your craft.

But then relax. 

Let it all go.

You’re more than capable than you think.

Once you accept that — life is easy street. 

4 — Your nervous system reacts to what you think is true

It’s all in the mind. 

If you THINK talking to strangers is scary and weird…

Your body responds accordingly. 

Nobody is born with a fear of the world.

It’s learned. 

Here’s what you can do actionably

  • Meditate on your fears and their source 
  • Understand that it’s only fear if you give it importance 
  • Tackle them headfirst 

That’s a lifetime of avoidance solved in 3 steps. 

5 — Don’t let them judge you  

You get aura once you stop caring what anyone thinks. 

And why care anyways? 

Everyone walks around with the same set of bones and organs (minus kidney donors). 

Don’t fall into that trap. 

Rock your own creed. 

Be you.

6 — Perspective dictates reality 

If you look in the mirror and see a calm, confident man…

It becomes a matter of fact.

Consider this: 

There’s no benefit to having negative beliefs about yourself or life.

People treat you as YOU want them to.

This was the first change I noticed after applying “Psychocybernetics.”

You don’t need fancy clothes.
You don’t need status.

Just your mindset. 

7 — Constant exposure immunizes fear 

It’s that simple.

Anything you do over and over again becomes automatic. 

A surgeon doing their first operation is a shaky warrior.

But on number 1000— it’s gifted hands

So if you’re scared of something — 

Whether it’s socializing or live karaoke…

Keep going. 

8 —You write your own destiny 

Carnegie went from toiling in cotton mills to 300 billion net. 

How?

He understood this: 

The only thing that separates success and the crowd is RELENTLESS DRIVE. 

Nothing else. 

So find what you desire more than anything else — 

And put your whole soul into it. 

No excuses, no deliberations. 

Action.
