Despite the general correctness of this observation, E. Coué partly misunderstood and partly overestimated the power of independent auto-suggestion. In the popular mind, his name is associated with the famous formula, "Every day in every way I am getting better and better," supposedly a panacea, an efficient remedy against practically any disease. But the subsequent passing of the vogue, followed by the downfall of Coué's School, is a sufficient proof of the inadequacy of the precept. His temporary success was due, it seems, to the startling and powerful impression his lectures and books had made on the public, an impression which gradually faded, leaving the curative formula enfeebled, though still occasionally helpful. Obviously, it was founded on human faith and an individual's prestige. It remains true that only a small minority of men have a sufficient fountain of steady belief within themselves to transform indecisiveness into confidence, emotionality into calmness, timidity into courage. Even this minority have not enough faith to work upon themselves without guidance by some trusted authority. Auto-suggestion, far too commonly, calls for an outside inspiration or support.
