As I’ve recounted in a previous review, my mother told me about Emile Coué when I was ill in bed with the measles at the age of 10 and not feeling so good. She told me that when she was young (she was born in 1908) there was a man called Emile Coué who told people that they could recover from their illnesses merely by repeating “Every day in every way I am getting better and better”. They did this, and recovered and he became very famous.

This little book provides us with the basic information about Coué’s method, and also includes a chapter listing many cases of patients who were cured from various ailments and diseases, e.g. stammering, kidney disease, enteritis, nervous dyspepsia, heart disease and so on. Many of these patients were cured instantly after seeing Coué; however, it is not explained what exactly he did to effect these immediate cures, presumably some sort of hypnosis.

His system is based on the patient curing him- or herself by what he terms “conscious autosuggestion”.

Coué informs us that we have an unlimited power in our imagination. When will and imagination are in conflict, imagination always wins. He declares that this is an absolute rule.

No effort should be made. Our state of mind should be: I desire to do (or have) such and such a thing and I am about to do (or have) it.

He tells us how to practise autosuggestion:

Every morning on awakening and every night as soon as we get into bed we should close our eyes and pronounce twenty times, just loud enough to hear our own words : “Every day in every way I am getting better and better”.

We should use a string with twenty knots in it for counting. Since I can’t make such a string, I use my fingers instead.

Moreover, if during the day we get a pain or depression, we should say “it passes, it passes”. Since saying this does not seem natural to me, I prefer to use the French “Ca passe, ca passe” which is presumably the original phrase used by Coué.

We should repeat the “Ca passe” phrase and the every day, every way phrase with absolute faith and confidence, but calmly, without effort.

The book also includes thoughts and precepts of Emile Coué, extracts from letters to him and also letters to one of his female disciples who also taught the method; these letters recount how the writers have been cured of this and that by its use.

This is an inspiring little book, though penned in old-fashioned language, just as the described cures all took place before 1920, so these patients are long since dead. This does not of course detract from the success of the method.

I have not myself as yet had any success with the method, but things take time; try it yourself, if you feel inspired – it is such a simple method and has helped thousands of people. ( )

Obwohl die von Emile Coué beschriebenen Erkenntnisse schon an die hundert Jahre alt sind, fehlt es ihnen nicht an Aktualität. Was Coué in seinem Leben als Apotheker und Psychotherapeut an Erfahrungen gesammelt hat, lässt sich auch auf unsere Zeit übertragen. Coué hat herausgefunden, dass Heilung bei vielen Leiden und Krankheiten leicht durch reine Gedankenkraft möglich ist. Menschliche Vorstellungen sind so stark, dass sie dazu neigen, wahr zu werden. Laut Coué kann man sich also leicht selbst heilen, indem man sich die entsprechenden Gedanken gewissermaßen „einredet“. Mit Autosuggestion ist Selbstbeeinflussung durch positive Gedanken gemeint. Von Coué stammt der bekannte Satz „es geht mir mit jedem Tag in jeder Hinsicht besser und besser“. Man müsse sich diesen Satz nur regelmäßig, und zwar ein Leben lang, selbst vorsagen, und die gewünschte Wirkung würde unweigerlich eintreten. Wichtig dabei ist, dass die Selbstbeeinflussung ohne Anstrengung geschieht. Damit meint Coué, dass die Autosuggestion nicht mit dem Willen erzwungen werden darf. Wäre der Wille im Spiel, würde dies unweigerlich zum gegenteiligen Effekt führen, dass man nämlich genau das erreicht, was man nicht möchte. Skeptikern seiner Methode nimmt Coué sogleich den Wind aus den Segeln, indem er eine große Anzahl von Fallbeispielen aufführt, bei welchen seine Methode zu erstaunlichen Heilungserfolgen geführt hat. Natürlich ist der Gedanke einer so mühelosen und einfachen Heilmethode bestechend. Mit Sicherheit ist es wahr, dass der menschliche Geist einen großen Einfluss auf den Körper hat und dass positive Gedanken ganz allgemein die Lebensqualität verbessern. Dass aber alle Gedanken, kaum dass sie gedacht wurden, sofort wahr werden, so, wie es hier dargestellt wird, darf bezweifelt werden. Dies ist rein esoterisches Denken und bestätigt sich in der Realität nicht. Stilistisch wirkt Coués Buch leicht angestaubt, wie bei einem Werk aus dem Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts zu erwarten ist. Als Kind seiner Zeit war Coué offensichtlich angesteckt von der allgemeinen Technikbegeisterung und Fortschrittsgläubigkeit, was man an vielen seiner Metaphern aus der Welt der Technik merkt. Dies wirkt aus heutiger Sicht ebenso amüsant wie sympathisch, genau wie sein belehrender Tonfall, in dem heutzutage kein Buch mehr geschrieben werden könnte. Coué stellt die Behauptung auf, Babys würden nur zu dem Zweck schreien, um ihre Eltern zu manipulieren. Es sei also richtig, Babys schreien zu lassen, damit sie sich gar nicht erst angewöhnen, ihre Eltern zu manipulieren. Dieser Standpunkt ist aus heutiger Sicht kompletter Unsinn und als unmenschlich abzulehnen. Von diesem Ausrutscher einmal abgesehen, enthält Coués Buch Wahres und funktioniert auch in unserer Zeit, da der Einfluss des menschlichen Geistes auf den Körper natürlich gleich geblieben ist. Vor allem besticht die Methode durch ihre Einfachheit. ( )
