Lesson from Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz.

Psycho-Cybernetics is a well-known self-improvement book. Its author, Maxwell Maltz, was a plastic surgeon who discovered that his patients frequently needed more than surgery to improve their self-image. In the book, Maltz details techniques for cultivating a positive internal goal, which he believes can lead to positive external outcomes. The book draws on the works of Preston Lecky, Norbert Wiener, and John von Neumann.
