PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

Hi Warriors,

A Friday question. Which personal development writer or speaker has had the most influence on your life.

For me, it is Wayne Dyer. Love his outlook, his perspective and the way he articulates himself.

Would love to hear who your favourites are.

Thanks

Mo

  Sorry, can't limit to 1!
  
  I'd have to say Wayne Dyer for reading (love the Power of Intention); Bob Proctor to listen to for simple, honest-to-goodness solid motivation; and Deepak Chopra for his calming voice, lovely cadence, spirituality and deep thinking.
  
  Thanks

  There are many, even among the current group of thinkers, speakers and writers who I find inspiring. Greatly admired, like those above, are Wayne Dyer, Eckhart Tolle, Deepak Chopra and Louise Hay.
  
  My personal favorite has to be Esther Hicks, whose work has simplified ideas and concepts that others present as mysterious and complex.

Brian Arthur -- The Nature of Technology (strange but true -- not written as a personal development book, but it's changed my life in terms of productivity and stress reduction)

I also like David Allen's "Getting Things Done".

I would say the speaker that has had the most influence on my life is Les Brown.

There are tons of writers that have made a difference for me. Some of my favorites are Steve Chandler and Brian Tracy.

the person that had a huge influence on my life...in regards with personal development...is Ralph Oats. he is a network marketer guru who opened up my eyes a couple of years ago. if i am now an entrepreneur, is because of him.

there are many other writers that contribute to my personal development, but he was the first one that opened up my eyes.

David Allen (Getting Things Done) is great, but for overall most impact on my life it has to be Dan Kennedy. I bought his DVD set Wealth Training for Entrepreneurs and it totally changed my outlook on money, work, productivity... many things. In fact, I should listen to them again to see what I missed.

Les Brown is really good.
deepak chopra has a lot of double talk. He mumbles and will put you to sleep.

Like other WF members, I have a few favourite Personal Development authorities...

... But since you asked... Brian Tracy is the one I turn to most frequently for insight and inspiration. I have appreciated Brian's material so much over the years that last year I began marketing and selling his personal development and self-improvement resources!
