I found this reading challenge at the start of the year and thought it was a great idea. Truth be told though, I never glanced at it a second time throughout the entire year. I already blog about every book I read, and manage to put up a new post every week. So, finding books…

Psycho-Cybernetics
Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz I read this book when I was a teenager and it blew me away. I decided that I needed to brush the dust off it and give it a re-read. This book was written by a plastic surgeon who noticed something interesting in his practice. He would operate on people who…
