28、obal Reading,Detailed Reading,After Reading,The most important psychological discovery of this century is the discovery of the“self-image.”Whether we realize it or not,each of us carries about with us a mental blueprint or picture of ourselves.It may be vague and ill-defined to our conscious gaze.In

29、 fact,it may not be consciously recognizable at all.But it is there,complete down to the last detail.This self-image is our own conception of the“sort of person I am.”It has been built up from our own beliefs about ourselves.But most,Your Key to a Better LifeMaxwell Maltz,of these beliefs about ours

30、elves have unconsciously been formed from our past experiences,our successes and failures,our humiliations,our triumphs,and the way other people have reacted to us,especially in early childhood.From all these we mentally construct a“self,”(or a picture of a self).Once an idea or a belief about ourse

31、lves goes into this picture it becomes“true,”as far as we personally are concerned.We do not question its validity,but proceed to act upon it just as if it were true.,Article2,Before Reading,Global Reading,Detailed Reading,After Reading,This self-image becomes a golden key to living a better life be

32、cause of two important discoveries:1.All your actions,feelings,behavior even your abilities are always consistent with this self-image.In short,you will“act like”the sort of person you conceive yourself to be.Not only this,but you literally cannot act otherwise,in spite of all your conscious efforts

33、 or will power.The man who conceives himself to be a“failure type person”will find some way to fail,in spite of all his good intentions,or his will power,even if opportunity is literally dumped in his lap.The person who conceives himself to be a victim of injustice,one“who was meant to suffer”will i

34、nvariably find circumstances to verify his opinions.The self-image is a“premise,”a base,or a foundation upon which your entire personality,your behavior,and even your circumstances are built.Because of this our experiences seem to verify,and thereby strengthen our self-images,and a vicious or a bene

35、ficent cycle,as the case may be,is set up.,Article3,Before Reading,Global Reading,Detailed Reading,After Reading,For example,a schoolboy who sees himself as an“F”type student,or one who is“dumb in mathematics,”will invariably find that his report card bears him out.He then has“proof.”A young girl wh

36、o has an image of herself as the sort of person nobody likes,will find indeed that she is avoided at the school dance.She literally invites rejection.Her woebegone expression,her hang-dog manner,her over-anxiousness to please,or perhaps her unconscious hostility towards those she anticipates will af

37、front her all act to drive away those whom she would attract.In the same manner,a salesman or a businessman will also find that his actual experiences tend to“prove”his self-image is correct.,Because of this objective“proof”it very seldom occurs to a person that his trouble lies in his self-image or

38、 his own evaluation of himself.Tell the schoolboy that he only“thinks”he cannot master algebra,and he will doubt your sanity.He has tried and tried,and still his report card tells the story.Tell the salesman that it is only an idea that he cannot earn more than a certain figure,and he can prove you

39、wrong by his order book.He knows only too well how hard he has tried and failed.Yet,as we shall see later,almost miraculous changes have occurred both in grades of students,and in the earning capacity of salesmen when they were prevailed upon to change their self-images.,Article4,Before Reading,Glob

40、al Reading,Detailed Reading,After Reading,Article5,Before Reading,Global Reading,Detailed Reading,After Reading,2.The self-image can be changed.Numerous case histories have shown that one is never too young nor too old to change his self-image and thereby start to live a new life.One of the reasons

41、it has seemed so difficult for a person to change his habits,his personality,or his way of life,has been that heretofore nearly all efforts at change have been directed to the circumference of the self,so to speak,rather than to the center.Numerous patients have said to me something like the followi

42、ng:“If you are talking about positive thinking,Ive tried that before,and it just doesnt work for me.”However,a little questioning invariably brings out that these individuals have employed“positive thinking,”or attempted to employ it,either upon particular external circumstances,or upon some particu

43、lar habit or character defect(“I will get that job.”“I will be more calm and relaxed in the future.”“This business venture will turn out right for me,”etc.)But they had never thought to change their thinking of the“self”which was to accomplish these things.,Article6,Before Reading,Global Reading,Det

44、ailed Reading,After Reading,Jesus warned us about the folly of putting a patch of new material upon an old garment,or of putting new wine into old bottles.“Positive thinking”cannot be used effectively as a patch or a crutch to the same old self-image.In fact,it is literally impossible to really thin

45、k positively about a particular situation,as long as you hold a negative concept of self.And,numerous experiments have shown that once the concept of self is changed,other things consistent with the new concept of self,are accomplished easily and without strain.,One of the earliest and most convinci

46、ng experiments along this line was conducted by the late Prescott Lecky,one of the pioneers in self-image psychology.Lecky conceived of the personality as a“system of ideas,”all of which must seem to be consistent with each other.Ideas which are inconsistent with the system are rejected,“not believe

47、d,”and not acted upon.Ideas which seem to be consistent with the system are accepted.,Article7,Before Reading,Global Reading,Detailed Reading,After Reading,At the very center of this system of ideas the keystone the base upon which all else is built,is the individuals“ego ideal,”his“self-image,”or h

48、is conception of himself.Lecky was a school teacher and had an opportunity to test his theory upon thousands of students.,Lecky theorized that if a student had trouble learning a certain subject,it could be because(from the students point of view)it would be inconsistent for him to learn it.Lecky be

49、lieved,however,that if you could change the students self-conception,which underlies this viewpoint,his attitude toward the subject would change accordingly.If the student could be induced to change his self-definition,his learning ability should also change.This proved to be the case.One student wh

50、o misspelled 55 words out of a hundred and flunked so many subjects that he lost credit for a year,made a general average of 91 the next year and became one of the best spellers in school.A boy who was dropped from one college because of poor grades,entered Columbia and became a straight“A”student.,
