For some reason, it seems to have been a really quiet week on the personal development blogging front. Two of the four blog picks that I’m bringing to you this week are actually from people who I consider to be more usually associated with Internet Marketing rather than self development which makes there inclusion here pretty special. To be fair though, these people have only achieved so much in their lives due to their strong values and hard work – traits that we’d all aspire to.
With that in mind, let’s get straight into the picks.
Introducing the “Think – Play” Matrix – Alex Mandossian is already well known in Internet Marketing and he’s always struck me as a very balanced and organized person. Recently, he’s shifted his focused more towards productivity and as such, I would expect to see more of his posts in my ‘Blogs of the Week’.
This particular article perfectly illustrates why I like to read Alex’s stuff. He takes the popular cliché of “work hard, play hard” and puts a scientific framework around it so that the concepts behind it make sense. I can’t do it justice here – go and read the article! 
A Balanced Life–Part 1 – Whilst Alex Mandossian may be new to you, I’m sure that Brian Tracy isn’t! In this first part of his series on “A Balanced Life”, Brian gives us a foundation to achieve that elusive balance in our lives. As usual with his work, it comes across as really simple and straightforward, but the messages that he includes are invaluable.
Why Positive Thinking Doesn’t Work for You and How to Fix it – I’m more used to writing about Chris Garrett on my Internet Marketing blog, however he too seems to be sharing more insight these days into his personal development habits that have led to his success. I’ve never been a fan of positive thinking in and of itself for the exact reasons that Chris shares in this post. Go and have a read of it and let me know in the comments below whether you agree or disagree with his views.
