Samenvatting:

Self Mastery Through Conscious Autosuggestion is a concise yet influential manual of practical psychology, presenting Émile Coué's method for directing the imagination toward health, confidence, and moral self-command. Written in a lucid, aphoristic style, the work blends clinical observation, popular instruction, and early twentieth-century therapeutic optimism. Its famous formula—"Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better"—belongs to a wider context of mental healing, suggestion therapy, and the emerging modern interest in the unconscious. Émile Coué, a French pharmacist and psychotherapist, developed his ideas through daily encounters with patients and through his observation that belief often intensified or diminished the effects of treatment. His background in pharmacy gave him unusual insight into the placebo effect before it was named as such, while his clinical practice in Nancy connected him to important traditions of hypnotic and suggestive therapy. This unabridged edition is recommended to readers interested in psychology, self-help history, psychosomatic medicine, and the genealogy of modern motivational thought.
