Best Personal Development Boards on the Internet?

I used to be a member of Steve Pavlina's board which about 5 years ago I thought was great. I went to check it out recently and found he closed it down.

As great as Warrior Forum's is, I feel I have some unanswered PD questions which are not entirely relevant here.

Does anyone know of a good well-populated PD board?

      Funny, I actually have heard quite a few people mention that Pavlina board before, but I wasn't checking for it when it was up, too bad.

      Regarding relevancy, maybe you could start a new thread and find out. We're here to get motivation, but we're here to help too. Good luck.

    Perhaps, selfgrowth.com (not aff.) - I recently joined and have not yet explored it.

    Last I checked, personal growth.com didn't have much going on in their forum. Steve Pavlina's forum was really good. I'm working on something similar now but it's going to take some time. But we've got a pretty good forum here too.

    I see this same question come up over and over again. It never gets a good answer. I think it is time that a few warriors mastermind and come up with the new best personal development forum. I have thought of it myself but don't have experience running forum scripts and software.

    I never liked Pavlina's board. I know people who got banned for disagreeing with him, that is the main reason he closed it really. Also so many things that he recommended he was so obviously an affiliate for. Things that some newbies can even see through.

    He wrote on a wide array of subjects but he always seems arrogant to me.

    Regarding personal development. There are many great forums, but there is not an all encompassing forum. There are so many different categories of personal development, you should just look for the best on in each niche. For me I mostly read fitness, Buddhist, and entrepreneurship forums.

      A big part of the problem in the personal development field is that there dozens, perhaps hundreds of ways, to achieve growth. Some work better than others, and some work with certain personality types but not others. Many times what works and what doesn't work simply depends on what a person believes.

      The trouble with all this is that most of the writers in this field have their pet ways they feel are the best and anything else is something less than what they teach, so disagreements are inevitable.

      It's the same thing in the spirituality field. People develop their beliefs and they'll defend them with all their strength. In most cases people aren't open enough to consider that other beliefs may be correct. They are too vested in defending their beliefs to even consider that two people can hold opposite views and both be right.

      That's why I often read the Mind Warriors subforum, but seldom comment. People all have their own view of reality, filtered through their emotions, intelligence, knowledge, experiences, beliefs, biases, and many other influences, and many don't understand that their own filters distort their perception.

      Not one of us fully understands reality. Every one of us believe things that aren't true. Each of us chooses how much wisdom we experience by how many doors to understanding we close on the assumption our current understanding is all there is.

      What vain fools we mortals be.

        I used to have a forum on my blog, but I closed it down mainly because it was too small and that there was not enough people agreeing in what works for orhers will work for them. But mainly, the topics were about self problems and how they can fix it themselves and etc.
