Maxwell Maltz

1899 – 1975

Maxwell Maltz (1899–1975) was an American cosmetic surgeon and author, renowned for his pioneering work in self-image psychology. Educated at Columbia University, he initially gained recognition for his expertise in reconstructive surgery. Maltz's credibility in discussing self-perception and behavior stems from observing patients' psychological transformations post-surgery. His groundbreaking book, "Psycho-Cybernetics" (1960), explores the impact of self-image on success and happiness. Other notable works include "Creative Living for Today" and "The Magic Power of Self-Image Psychology."
