HI!Psycho-Pictography came into my possession in a very strange way. I was in a need for growth, and it came to me thru a bizarre circumstance and answered ALL my questions and showed me ALL the answers. People always said i was positive and i thought so as well, until i read this book and saw the little negative blocks that i and others put up for ourselves keeping us from reaching our goals and obtaining inner peace. people don't realize how these little negative blocks can build into a giant wall.i wasn't even finished with the book when i got my dream job on my favorite tv show! and my life has steadily improved from there. but it's not about money and jobs, it's about being at peace and finding your true self! learning to deal with people and things that arise in a whole new way. he said, things that made you mad will now make you laugh! when i first read this i was skeptical, but it is SO TRUE!!!i laugh all the time! i can cry for others, but i can no longer cry for myself, if i get sad about myself i start to laugh cause i realize how silly i am being, i have nothing to be sad about and nothing to fear! all thanks to vernon howard!READ THIS BOOK!

This book was originally published in 1965, hence the wacky title. Get past that, highlight what appeals to you, live it, and you will grow. At the heart of this book are 'Four Golden Keys to New Freedom and Happiness', cheesy huh? Well, they work: 1. A sincere desire for inner change. 2. Contact with workable principles. 3. Self-honesty. 4. Persistence. Common sense, right? It's amazing how uncommon the use of it is. Even those who have heard of this advice and worked with it need REVIEW and PRACTICE, but most of all, a different outlook, a different perspective. This book provides that and more if you can open your mind enough to truly apply the wisdom within and see if it works for you, which, as the author states, is the only true test.

I first read this book about five years ago, and I can't count the number of people I've recommended it to. Some of the writing style seems a bit corny or outdated, but the content is amazingly powerful.

I don't think much of most self help books, but this one really does teach us to meditate on the way our minds work, and the resulting increased awareness really can bring about lasting change. It does take a lot of work, but obsessive thoughts can be brought under control with this awareness, leading to a lessening of chronic anger and depression, which in turn allows a brighter outlook and a more optimistic future.

Vernon really knew his stuff.

This book makes you think about life a in radically diffrent way. The book offers short but powerful stories that change your perceptions and stimulate personal growth. The title is such because the stories contain such wonderful visual imagery, the stories come alive unlike the usual self-help books. The chapters and stories are segmented so you don't have to read the book from cover to cover. You can pick it up anytime and find another nugget of wisdom. If you like this book you will love "A Rich Man's Secret" by Ken Roberts.

Thank God for Mr. Howard. I've just purchased the book today and I already feel so much better about my life and future by becoming aware of this false self thats been stealing my life and energy. Vernon uses story telling in getting his view points accross, which is very helpful in building one's own understanding. I highly recommend anyone interested in finding true understanding about themselves to purchase all of Mr Howards works, You'll be glad. I promise.

I found this book in a used bookstore and have been carrying it around ever since. I usually dont get into self help type books. But this book is different. Ive since bought more products by Vernon Howard. This book describes the human dillema perfectly. Truth has never been spoken so clearly, Ive found nothing that equals this masterpiece. And if you give it a chance, you'll forever be changed.

In 2002, I had the most amazing year of my life. I was seeing things in a whole new way; life and everything on the planet looked wonderous; and I allowed myself the privilege of feeling whatever emotion arose - and being okay with them all! "This is the way man was meant to feel," I told myself. "And I've never felt better in my life!"

I've since slipped from that "high" and then wondered what it was I was doing right that created such wonderful emotional states. Only now am I beginning to discover the answer to that question: I read one-third of THIS BOOK in the months prior to my "enlightenment." Perhaps it was Vernon Howard's "Psycho-Pictography" that made the difference! If so, then this book is a little miracle-maker worthy of repeated readings! It must work imperceptibly - almost subliminally - at creating real life-changing results.

Time to read "Psycho-Pictography" again and test my theory. If it can again serve as a catalyst toward wonderful feeling-states, then I'm in for a wonderful 2005... and will never feel depressed or irrationally afraid again!

If you're depressed, lonely, panic-striken, confused about your place in the Universe, or haunted by irrational beliefs about yourself and the world, I recommend giving this book a crack at what it is that ails you. This could very well contain the answer(s) you seek.

This book is a great introduction into the philosophy of Vernon Howard. If you are new to the idea of self awakening, or acquiring good mental health, this is a good place to start. Compared to his other books, "Mystic Path To Cosmic Consciousness, The Power of Your Supermind, and "Esoteric Mind Power", this book seems on a beginner level. But that's good if you've never read these other books. I could recommend this, then the other books in that order.
The one and only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the "Mental Pictures" didn't appeal to me that much. Some people need analogies and metaphores to help them to grasp a concept, I just tend to want to get to the heart of the teaching. The whole book is based on the idea of visualizing these concepts in this way, and others may find this enjoyable.
That is only a minor point, I do believe this book will ease you into the philosophy.

Truth resonates loud and clear from each page of this book!

Other reviewers of this book here have said it all, very well.

This is the most valuable book I own, for it has saved my life, many times.

Thank you Vernon Howard!

This book can show you how to keep your mental balance in today's world. Its technique of imparting material is concise yet insightful. It also is presented in such a way that the principles are easy to remember. A very good self-help book which almost is on a level with Maxwell Maltz.
