160 p. Illustrations. From Wikipedia: "Colonel Edward Lee Hubbard, USAF, (born May 18, 1938) is a retired American Air Force officer, author, artist, and internationally known motivational speaker. Hubbard joined the United States Air Force Reserve at Richards-Gebaur Air Force Base in 1955, at age seventeen. On July 20, 1966, while flying his 26th mission over North Vietnam, Hubbard and five others were shot down by two surface-to-air missiles. Hubbard was a First Lieutenant at the time. He was captured by the Viet Cong and put in a POW camp. There, he stayed in a six-by-six foot cell and lived on less than 300 calories per day. After 2, 420 days of being imprisoned, he was finally released on March 4, 1973 along with many others from his camp. During ten years as head of the largest safety organization in the Air Force, they shattered all records. They achieved 30% to 70% improvements in all categories, where a 3% improvement had long been the norm. Ed Hubbard's organization was recognized as "Best in the Air Force" for ten consecutive years, and a previously accepted, multi-million-dollar loss rate per year was reduced to less than fifty thousand dollars per year. Hubbard retired from the Air Force as a Colonel in 1990. In 1985, he became involved in public speaking so that others could benefit from the lessons he learned in captivity. After retiring, he founded Positive Vectors, Inc., a firm dedicated to helping others overcome any obstacle, survive any ordeal, and reach any goal by developing the right state of mind. Since then, Hubbard has traveled all over the country and spoken to thousands of members of corporate America, government agencies, and non-profit organizations. His book, Escape from the Box: The Wonder of Human Potential, was published in January 1994." Very good in very good dust jacket. Signed by author.…
