Deborah Ager on "Psycho-Cybernetics"

One Book That Changed My Life

"Psycho-Cybernetics" is one of my personal favorite books, and when I first read it, the underlying idea hit me like a ton of bricks and made a huge impact on my mindset.

What if we thought of our subconscious as our own success mechanism?

For ghostwriter, book coach, and book editor Deborah Ager, this book came into her life at a time of great personal adversity, and it helped her take steps forward. In this episode, we talk about what we learned from the book and how we put its ideas into practice.

Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode

Why clarifying our ideas is so important

You can have a really powerful idea and one that has a lot of potential, but if it’s buried within a book, even if it’s written very well, it can screw up that whole idea by making it confusing or diluting it.

The big takeaway from "Psycho-Cybernetics"

We’re all equipped with a mechanism in our subconscious we can use to direct to any outcome. It’s like a heat-seeking missile that can go in a positive or negative direction depending on the underlying beliefs that fuel it.

How to combat doubt and flesh out an idea

Whether you’re writing a book or starting a podcast, what holds people back from clarity is self-doubt that comes in the form of questions. Clarity is about getting the ideas out and realizing that they’re going to be messy at this stage, and that’s okay.
