Read one a day to set your mind to becoming your "big self." I find most to be really helpful reminders and continue reading one a day for guidance in living a full life

We have the power within us to create our everlasting destiny and become a complete and whole energy in the three worlds that we live in (mind, body and spirit) strictly with positive thinking and positive action.

Great short inspirational stories. I am a fan of Maxwell Maltz. No-nonsense and smart approach to life

A summation of the previous 4 books along with the primary book (Psycho-Cybernetics). Really dig the message: be your own best friend.

Unless you’re someone who isn’t fully familiar w/ the concepts or want to dive in deeper, I’d say, just stick w/ Psycho-Cybernetics and embody the message. No need to add more time into reading about the same thing again. Been awhile since I’ve read the original, so I think this is good supplemental info.
