Self Developments Greatest Books For Free

Self development books have had an amazingly positive effect on me and my life. I’m pretty sure without them I wouldn’t be a Professional Life Coach, or at least not a very effective one!

Since I started blogging back in 2006 I have written lots of reviews and more than a few list posts such as The Greatest Self Development Books Ever Written and The Best Self Development Books Of 2011.

On a couple

Situations Matter

When I published my post The Best Self Development Books of 2011 I knew I had one more book to finish before the end of the year.

However, I didn’t really think ‘Situations Matter’ by Sam Sommers was a self development book per se and as such it wouldn’t matter if I excluded it.

And to be honest, Situations Matter isn’t a self development book in terms of how people usually think of the

Aligning With Your Core Values For Muppets

I know I said that I would follow up my How Do I Meditate post with a post on really cool brain stuff.

Unfortunately, the research has taken me longer than I thought and rather than do a half assed job, or give you poor information I thought I would wait until next week.

Life Coach Yourself

Life Coach Santa

I sent an e-mail to my newsletter subscribers yesterday offering them the chance to grab my self development ebook combo pack that normally retails for $19.95 for free by way of saying thanks!

Ejunkie only allows 100 free downloads per day for my account and I hit that fairly quickly and then had to wait until midnight before it re-set itself.

But with a bit of manual intervention it has now reset itself it

My Ten Most Embarrassing Moments As A Life Coach

Life Coach in stocks

As I move toward entering my 8th year as a Life Coach and having dealt with hundreds of clients from all over the world you can imagine things haven’t always gone as smoothly as I would have liked.

In fact it wouldn’t be unfair to say that on a few occasions I haven’t just put my foot in it, but sometimes my entire lower body.

These, and in no particular order, are 10 of

What Is A Gut Feeling? And Should I Trust Mine?

This post is in response to the guest post from Alisa Bowman, How My Gut Instinct Let Me Down. If you haven’t read that, this won’t make anything like as much sense to you, so go and read it now.

Unlike Alisa I have a strong belief we should all listen to our gut instincts more, not less frequently and I’m going to try and explain why I think it’s so important.

The Happiness Spiral

Have you ever found yourself feeling happy for absolutely no discernible reason?

Maybe you woke up and there was an extra spring in your step and life seemed almost too good to be true.

What did you do?

Did you get all suspicious and wonder why you were feeling all happy? Did you try and analyze it and then wonder why it slipped away?

Have you ever found yourself feeling crappy for absolutely no
