Books by Emile Coué

"Je n'y arriverai jamais", "Je suis trop fatigué", "Ce n'est pas pour moi"... Personne ne peut contester que ces exemples sont des prophéties autoréalisatrices, et qu'elles entraînent échecs et ennuis, parce qu'on ne cesse de se les répéter. Ne tient-il donc pas qu'à vous de faire tout le contraire, et de vous débarrasser une fois pour toutes de l'auto-sabotage ? Le psychologue Emile Coué fut le tout premier à constater les vertus de l'autosuggestion consciente et à développer une méthode pour influencer favorablement notre inconscient par la suggestion. Sa méthode est aujourd'hui à la racine de la sophrologie et des courants de pensée positive. Voici comment se construire autrement pour retrouver confiance en soi et développer la meilleure des vertus, la maîtrise de soi-même.

The Coué method centered on a routine repetition of this particular expression according to a specified ritual-preferably as much as twenty times a day, and especially at the beginning and at the end of each day. When asked whether or not he thought of himself as healer, Coué often stated that "I have never cured anyone in my life. All I do is show people how they can cure themselves." Unlike a commonly held belief that a strong conscious will constitutes the best path to success, Coué maintained that curing some of our troubles requires a change in our unconscious thought, which can be achieved only by using our imagination. Although stressing that he was not primarily a healer but one who taught others to heal themselves, Coué claimed to have effected organic changes through autosuggestion.
