Steve Pavlina, a well known blogger, has published a book titled Personal Development for Smart People: The Conscious Pursuit of Personal Growth. I think posts at Steve’s blog are sometimes too long so I was not that interested in the book. But after reading Steve’s own sales page and some reviews (at Wisebread, Skills Toolbox and Hunter Nutall) I have changed my mind.
I like his triangle concept with three cornerstones (truth, love, and power) leading to this:
There are seven principles total: truth, love, power, oneness, authority, courage, and intelligence. All of these are universal principles, so they can be applied to any area of your life — health, relationships, spiritual development, finances, daily habits, etc.
I have ordered the book today and it is already in the mail. It will be an interesting read and a review will follow as soon as I have read the book.

Glad my review helped to change your mind. Be warned though that at 100,000 words, the book is much longer than his longest post (8,000 words)! Of course, it’s a book, so you expect that.
I am prepared for a wordy book but since I like what I have seen about Steve’s triangular concept I think the book will be well worth reading.
