Self Mastery Through Conscious Autosuggestion (ISBN 1599869608)

Download Description:
We possess within us a force of incalculable power, which, when we handle it unconsciously is often prejudicial to us. If on the contrary we direct it in a conscious and wise manner, it gives us the mastery of ourselves and allows us not only to escape and to aid others to escape, from physical and mental ills, but also to live in relative happiness, whatever the conditions in which we may find ourselves.

A Definitive Work!:
I found this a fascinating addition to my study of hypnosis and dealing with the aspect of my "shadow" self. It's really amazing how many of us sabotage ourselves with negative thought patterns. Although it may seem simplistic in nature...our thoughts really are our reality. And Coue takes us right to the heart of the issue. A remarkable book.

Thank You Emile Coue:
This is a simple, clear and interesting book of instruction on improving our lives through the powerful practice of visualization. We alone have the power to change our lives.

Wrong Format for CD:
This product was billed as a CD. The first copy was in an MP-3 format and would not play on any regular CD player. The replacement copy still was in an unknown format and would not play.

Emile Coue:
Émile Coué was a French psychologist and pharmacist who introduced a method of psychotherapy, healing, and self-improvement, based on autosuggestion or self-hypnosis. He has been called the Father of Applied Conditioning. Coué, who came from old noble Breton stock, learned hypnosis from Ambroise-Auguste Liébault, the founder of Nancy School, and in 1913 Coué founded the Lorraine Society of Applied Psychology. His book Self-mastery through conscious autosuggestion caused a sensation on its publication in England (1920) and in the United States (1922). Coué introduced a new method, the self-starting of conscious autosuggestion. He modified the theory of Abbé Faria by proposing that for autosuggestion to flow from the mind, one has to feed it first. By repeating words or images as self-suggestion to the subconscious mind, one can condition the mind, and then the conditioned mind will produce an autogenic command when required. His familiar mantra, "Day by day, in every way, I am getting better and better" (Tous les jours à tous points de vue je vais de mieux en mieux), is sometimes known as Couéism, or the Coué method. The method depended in part on routine repetition of the formula. Afterwards Johannes Schultz developed this theory as Autogenic training Quote Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better. - Emile Coue References Émile Coué, La maîtrise de soi-même par l'autosuggestion consciente (Autrefois: De la suggestion et de ses applications), Société Lorraine de psychologie appliquée

Nice to find in print:
It seems to me that those written works which have the most to say are those of the shortest in length. This little gem gets right to the point while outlining key ideas without overwhelming the reader with that which is really inconsequential. Think of this book as an instruction manual for constructing personal prose.
