Recommended Personal Development Products
Over the last few years I have tried out well over a hundred personal development products. Here are my top favorites among them with in-depth reviews.
Photoreading
I have only used the Photoreading for a short while but it has helped me to cut down on reading time and to retain more of what I read and see it more as a whole rather than parts. Very useful stuff that I wish I knew about when I was back in school and studying. Click here to read my full review of Photoreading Paraliminals
I have been using these recordings several times a week since December 2008. I have experienced such benefits such as increased presence and calmness, being able to get out of negative feelings and headspaces quickly and increased focus and effectiveness.

I did it with one of the most popular workout programs right now, Craig Ballantyne’s Turbulence Training for Fatloss. It helped me to lose 26 pounds in 4 months, to become stronger and double my energy. It may even have helped me look a little bit younger.

He counters the arguments people may use to not try it out – like slowed down metabolism, fear of losing muscle, fear of becoming just too hungry – with facts and research (the book has over 50 references from different scientific studies). The main idea of this way of losing fat is to fast for 24 hours once or twice per week. This will create a calorie deficit and you will use more energy than you put into your body. And so you lose weight. That’s it. Since I had gained back a few of those 26 pounds I lost earlier this year I thought I’d give it try. So I have fasted for two 24 hour periods during the last four weeks. The results? I lost 4 kilos/9 pounds.

It can change your life!”
However, in the book there is a secret. The secret to success. But Hill never explicitly tells us exactly what that secret is. It’s up to the reader to figure it out. Fortunately, a guy named Brian Kim came along and wrote an eBook about just that secret and describes it very clearly as a step-by-step plan.

It is used by famous bloggers such as Matt Cutts at Google, Darren Rowse and SEO guru Michael Gray. I use this theme on my blog too and for various reasons I am very satisfied with it.

Andrew Rondeau has 25 years of public speaking and hands-on management experience in various industries such as retail, manufacturing, finance and IT. Darren LaCroix is the world champion of public speaking in 2001 (he won by out-speaking 25,000 contestants from 14 countries). Together they have created a course – in video, mp3 and eBook-formats – on how to become a great public speaker.

Photoreading is a whole system and home study course filled with techniques to help you not only read even faster but also to help you get what you want out of books, and help you to better understand and retain what you have learned.
Paraliminals are guided meditation CDs that are focused on various aspects of your life. One is about getting you to become more focused and effective. Other ones are focused on such things as overcoming anxiety or improving relationships, confidence and health.
The very best thing I have done in the area of personal development so far in 2009 is to get into better shape.
Way back in the early 1900s a man named Napoleon Hill dedicated about 20 years of his life to figuring this out by studying and interviewing 500 of the most successful people at the time. People like Edison, Ford and Andrew Carnegie. The result was a book called Think and Grow Rich. A book that went on to sell over 20 million copies.
“According to most studies, people’s number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you’re better off in the casket than doing the eulogy.”
