Personal Development for SMART PEOPLE – book review
Steve Pavlina’s goal while writing this book was to crystallize and convey to a reader universal laws of consciousness, laws that work for everyone in any situation and in any area of life: health, relationships, career, spiritual growth …. Laws that are timeless and apply to a single person as well as to a group of any size. His book is a final solution. One small book, lots of wisdom, lots of practical solutions and challenges. Concise, elegant, well structured. Each chapter begins with a suitable quote and is subdivided into key components. You can find an interesting self assessment in the first chapter showing that there is a large possibility for growth in any area. If something is not very satisfactory then it is unsatisfactory. Additionally Conscious Assessment and Growth Blitzing are at the end of the part one.
In the book Steve says something like this: “You can’t be sure about any of your personal beliefs you have.” so maybe I am wrong writing this review
The only critique I can find is this: Steve said that there is only a small portion of material shared with his blog. I agree that the book is original and has a unique impressive content but at a first glance everything is around the blog. Blog and book seem to blur together, they even consist of the same letters
After reading you will know his life story if you don’t know already, he wrote a lot about himself and clarified ideas on his own example. This review can be biased because I am a great fan of his blog and currently Steve is my main source of inspiration. I see no better candidate for a mentor.
The book contains huge amount of practical tips and exercises, even in the theoretical part – when you read it is good to immediately apply some of them. This book will set you on the path to conscious living using Truth, Love, Power and their combinations that give final outcome – Intelligent living. I must admit that this model seem workable and it can become a standard. Steve Pavlina’s book can begin a new era in Personal Development or even begin a new branch – Counsciousness Development.
