Per Dr. Maxwell Maltz, author of 30 million copy best-seller Psycho-Cybernetics. "Psycho-Cybernetics - The word cybernetics comes from a Greek term that means 'a helmsman who steers his ship to port.' Psycho-Cybernetics is a term I coined which means, "Steering your mind to a productive, useful goal .... so you can reach the greatest port in the world ... peace of mind. With it, you're somebody. Without it, you're nothing." End of quotes. I'm not sure of the year I read Dr. Maltz book, Psycho-Cybernetics, but, it was somewhere near when it was first published in 1960. I was in my mid -twenties. This book is one of my fondest reads. I found the Psycho-Cybernetics website on-line today. Psycho-Cybernetics is still going strong in 2008. Good books have long lives.
