Man's Search for Meaning — Viktor Frankl
One of the most important books ever written. Meaning as the root of psychological survival.
Psycho-Cybernetics — Maxwell Maltz
The 1960 plastic surgeon's discovery that changing inner self-image transformed lives more than changing faces — the original self-image psychology and the master key to performance.
The Body Keeps the Score — Bessel van der Kolk
The definitive book on trauma — how it reshapes body, brain, and mind, and what actually heals it. The most important book about trauma ever written. Essential reading.
Bessel van der Kolk
Dutch-American psychiatrist who spent four decades at Boston's Trauma Center showing that traumatic memory lives in the body, not the narrative. The Body Keeps the Score (2014) made somatic therapy mainstream.
Maxwell Maltz
American plastic surgeon who noticed that physical changes to a patient's face often didn't change their self-image. Psycho-Cybernetics (1960) was his pre-NLP-era theory of how to update the self-image directly, and sold over 30 million copies.
Viktor Frankl
Austrian psychiatrist and Auschwitz survivor whose Man's Search for Meaning gave the 20th century its clearest case for the primacy of meaning in human life. Founder of logotherapy.
