Self Mastery Through Conscious Autosuggestion

Self Mastery Through Conscious Autosuggestion is a book by French psychologist Emile Coué, first published in 1922. The book discusses the practice of autosuggestion and the ways in which it can help you in your daily life. The author was known for introducing this as a method of psychotherapy and self-improvement.

Along with his wife, he founded The Lorraine Society of Applied Psychology in 1903. His teachings were very popular in Europe during his lifetime, but later they also became very widespread in America, with people like Napoleon Hill and Norman Vincent Peale becoming famous themselves by spreading the words of Coué.

The method he used - that of a mantra repeated many times a day (Every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better) is known as the Coué method, and whilst the author always stressed he was not a healer, he did make the claim that he had effected organic changes through autosuggestion.

The book covers these principles, as well as including some letters from his patients who were treated by using this medthod of autosuggestion.
