By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I had a wonderful childhood, but I was raised in a wartime mentality. I was never hungry, but I remember my father teaching me to ride my bike to the library every week and get a new book.

#2 I grew up in San Diego in the 1940s and 1950s without any racial prejudice. My parents were always arguing about money or some lifestyle problem, and I grew up putting my pillow over my head and crying myself to sleep while they were arguing.

#3 I had many influences on me as a writer, including my grandmother, Mabel Reynolds Ostrander, who had come over from England and worked as a proofreader. I loved her more than anything else. I wrote The Psychology of Winning as a way to help me deal with my own struggles, because I was losing.

#4 The early years of the psychology of winning were developed at the U. S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland. I didn’t like Annapolis, because I didn’t want to be an admiral. I wanted to be a writer like Rod Serling and maybe write a great screenplay.
