Steve Pavlina (website: StevePavlina.com) is definitely one of my favorite bloggers. Not that I agree with everything he says, but, I agree with a lot, and I am at least open-minded toward most of what I don't agree with.
His extremely well-written site covers a wide range of topics, too numerous to list, though I guess they can all be summed up as being related to personal development. For a few examples - time management, overcoming depression and procrastination, raw vegan diets, and even paranormal topics.
The original release date of Steve's book Personal Development for Smart People was Oct. 15th, but some kind of mix-up occurred and it was released almost a month early. I can hardly wait to read it. And the world appears to agree - as I write this, the book's Amazon ranking is #193. :-D
You can download the first chapter of the book for free at Steve's site: Free Sample Chapter of Personal Development for Smart People. Also, if you've ever bought anything from Amazon in the past, you can browse a generous number of pages within the book for free at Amazon.
Bloggers and other website owners might be interested to know that it will be possible (even if your site didn't qualify for a free review copy of the book) to get a link to your website from StevePavlina.com if you write a review of the book with "decent substance", put it on your site before Oct. 31st, and send Steve the link to it. You can read about that offer at Steve's blog: Personal Development for Smart People Book Is Here
I'm hoping to write such a review myself. First, though, I'm going to have to obtain a copy of the book.
If, like me, you have no credit cards, but would like to order it online, it's possible to get it at Buy.com, which offers PayPal as a payment option: Personal Development for Smart People (Thanks to someone on the Pavlina Forums for pointing that out).
