products that enhance our health, nutrition, safety every area of our lives. With a single bone,
the science of archaeology can reconstruct the world and life of an animal that died millions and
millions of years ago. The sciences of aeronautics and computers make it possible to maneuver
an unmanned space craft millions of miles away with pinpoint accuracy and to broadcast a
detailed photographic record of its journey. So a science can be thought of as a system of
information so dependable and true that it can be used to make life better.
Psycho-Cybernetics is the first science of human development a system of
knowledge that will allow you to make accurate, predictable changes in how you think, how you
feel, what you do and the amount of success and enjoyment you get out of life. Psycho-
Cybernetics moved human development out of the realm of wishing, hoping, and undependable
techniques into the realm of predictable, positive results.
You ll find no wishing and no hoping in Psycho-Cybernetics. Psycho-Cybernetics is
based on scientific knowledge of how the human brain and nervous system work together to
produce thinking, attitude and behavior. The underlying principles have been tested and proven
in countless experiments in laboratories and research institutions around the world. And the
practice of Psycho-Cybernetics has been proven successful by the millions of people who have
used it to change their lives in remarkable ways over the last thirty years.
Psycho-Cybernetics works at a fundamental level, and the changes it produces effects all
areas of life. Some of the following items will be beyond the scope of this book, but Psycho-
Cybernetics has many uses for improving life beyond the trading arena. The more you learn how
to master Psycho-Cybernetics, the more you can expect to:
1) Build a strong, positive self-image that expresses the real you, the best you.
2) Set clear goals and achieve them predictably.
3) Stop seeing your mistakes as failures and actually learn to use your mistakes as valuable
54
feedback that guides you to your goals.
4) Be more productive and successful financially and in your career.
5) Forgive others and yourself and wash away resentment that take the joy out of living.
6) Learn how to relax and stay relaxed.
7) Learn how to deal with anger, even how to use it creatively.
8) Learn how think more clearly.
9) Feel good about your life and yourself all the time.
10) Learn how to improve your relationships with everyone in your life your family, your
friends, coworkers, and especially yourself.
11) Feel a sense of overall satisfaction, fulfillment, and peace as you are bringing out the best
of yourself each day.
Psycho-Cybernetics will not produce these changes overnight. It takes time to learn the
new ways of thinking and acting so that they become automatic in your life, but you ll begin to
experience positive results almost immediately.
Psycho-Cybernetics is easy. You ll see that the techniques do not involve willpower or
difficult effort. The exercises and methods of Psycho-Cybernetics utilize your creative
imagination in a relaxed, playful way. They re simple to learn and fun to do, and like any skill,
the skill of becoming your best self grows easier with practice.
The word cybernetics comes from a Greek word, which means helmsman, a person
who steers a ship to port. The science of cybernetics studies automatic guidance systems like
those that enable a guided missile to find its target, a computer to solve complex problems, or
robots to do complicated sequences of tasks automatically.
The science of cybernetics gives us a very effective way to look at the human brain and
nervous system. Our subconscious mind is actually a goal-seeking servo-mechanism, in other
words an automatic human guidance system. Psycho-Cybernetics is the science of this human
guidance system.
This servo-mechanism has access to everything we have ever seen or done, tasted,
smelled, felt and learned. It is all recorded in our brain. If you provide this servo-mechanism
with a goal, it will automatically produce the means to achieve the goal. So human beings are
naturally cybernetic, or goal-seeking beings. It s the way we are created. It is the servo-
mechanism that allows you to tie your shoes, fix breakfast and pilot your car through a
complicated journey to get to work, while all the time you are thinking of other things.
This servo-mechanism is completely impersonal. It works entirely with what is
55
programmed into it. It s an incredibly powerful tool that is totally under the direction of the
conscious mind. If you give it positive, successful goals it will produce positive, successful
results. It will become a success mechanism. If you give it goals of failure, it will just as
automatically function as a failure mechanism and produce failure.
The Importance of Mistakes
All automatic guidance systems reach their goals by constantly correcting mistakes. A
guided missile on its way to its target has sensors that detect when it s off course. The guidance
mechanism then makes the necessary adjustment and proceeds. This is done thousands of times
on its journey. The guided missile relies on this negative feedback to guide it to its destination.
Without this negative feedback, a guided missile would actually not know where it was going
and would never reach its target. The same is true for the human servo-mechanism. It is
unfortunate that so many of us interpret mistakes as a failure and suffer feelings of frustration and
discouragement when actually the mistakes we make are exactly the information that our servo-
mechanism needs to make the necessary corrections to take us to our goals. Your servo-
mechanism has no opinion one way or the other about mistakes. It simply uses the information
to guide it to its objective. What we call mistakes are actually valuable lessons for success.
