Steve Pavlina's Personal Development For Smart People

I'm about half-way through it, Phil. (I responded to Steve's invitation to get his book free in exchange for writing a review about it.)

I've bought a few self-improvement books here and there over the years, but I generally don't seek them out. If I'd seen Steve's book on the shelf at my favorite bookstore, I wouldn't have bought it. So I'm not a "raving fan" of the genre. The reason I agreed to review it was to see if it was worth recommending to my list.

I will definitely be recommending it.

While I'm not sure I'll embrace every aspect of what he teaches, Steve's book has opened my eyes and already made a positive difference in my life. One example: after years of popping in and out of the Warrior Forum, I finally did my first WSO (with great results) after being inspired by something I read in this book.

I haven't even gotten into the nuts-and-bolts section where he tells you how to apply what you learn in the first section, but what I've read so far is excellent. I've highlighted a ton of stuff and will definitely be reading this book more than once.

Long story short: Read his book!

I was unaware he had a book out. Thanks!!

I would imagine the book is pretty darn good but I will have to find out for myself.

Steve Pavlina is well respected in the self development community. I have not had to time to check his book out as of yet, but I too am interested in hearing what others have to say.

One could get lost on his website with the hundreds of pages of material.

He claims he has read over 1000 self development/success books. From reading his website and skimming his book, his thoughts have some uniqueness to them and very good. If you don't get the book, I would encourage everyone to see his website.

I thoroughly enjoy his web site, so if the book is half as good as his web site, it will be worth reading.

I reviewed the book on my site. I liked it overall. My review is on my blog. I can't post URLs yet since I haven't posted very much.

I have just finished reading this book thanks to the great reviews given here. I'm very pleased with how deep Steve goes into each of the topics his book covers. Although I really don't think this book is for anyone who isn't open to new concepts.

If you want to improve your life this book will be like gold to you.
