danlman,
If you liked PsychoCybernetics, I recommend you get hold of a copy of "The Psychology of Persuasion" by Robert Cialdini and read Chapter 3 where he discusses commitment and consistency. Pay particular attention to where he speaks of the experiences of Korean War POWs held by the Chinese and how seemingly small, inconsequential actions can change our perception of ourself and how we react to situations without our realizing it.
I mention it because upon reading this, it occurred to me that this is the whole explanation behind affirmations and how even the smallest actions on our part can have significant effects in our lives. |
