An Examined Life - A discussion group to exchange ideas and opinions related to psychology, science and philosophy.
The format is that we select a theme and pick a book related to that theme to discuss.
The link to the book will be posted and also a talk/podcast related to the book should you not have time to read the full book before the meetup.
Pre-reading is not mandatory, however, everyone will get more out of the session if you read the book or listen to the short talk.
The aim is to meet downstairs in Wetherspoons, ask around downstairs and I'm sure you'll find the group!
First published in 1960, Psycho-Cybernetics is a pioneering self-help classic that blends psychology with cybernetic principles to explore the power of self-image in shaping human behavior and performance. Written by Dr. Maxwell Maltz, a plastic surgeon turned personal development author, the book argues that lasting change and success come not from willpower alone, but from altering the mental blueprint we hold of ourselves. Drawing on case studies, visualization techniques, and insights from neuroscience and engineering, Psycho-Cybernetics offers practical methods to reprogram the subconscious mind, break free from limiting beliefs, and unlock personal growth. It remains a foundational text for anyone interested in mindset, motivation, and the science of self-transformation.
