From the legendary author of Psycho-Cybernetics, The Conquest of Frustration is a powerful action program that redirects your energy from disappointment and despair toward a happy, purposeful life. Maxwell Maltz understood that frustration doesn't arise from failure itself — it arises when we aim our minds at unproductive, destructive goals. The solution is to redirect that energy toward what truly matters.

Building on the breakthrough principles of psycho-cybernetics, Maltz shows you how to set meaningful daily goals, find purpose and meaning in your life, and use your innate goal-striving mechanism to overcome the frustrations that block your path to success.

What You'll Learn

• Redirect your mind away from frustration toward productive, fulfilling goals
• Apply psycho-cybernetics principles to overcome disappointment and despair
• Set daily goals that harness your innate goal-striving mechanism
• Create personal purpose and meaning that buffers against failure
• Transform frustration from a barrier into a signal that guides you toward success

About the Author

Maxwell Maltz (1899–1975) was a plastic surgeon who became one of the most influential figures in personal development after publishing Psycho-Cybernetics in 1960. That landmark book — which sold over 30 million copies — introduced the concept of self-image and the goal-striving servo-mechanism of the human mind, influencing virtually every major personal development author who followed.
