405 personal development bloggers

a week ago, i had the great fortune of being tagged twice to participate in the personal development blog list. thanks, priscilla and albert!

it’s similar to the W list or the Z list, although i have to say that the level of participation on this one is phenomenal. of course it’s a kind of meme – and in my looooong (um – 24 months) blogging life i’ve never seen a meme before that has generated so much fire.

below is what i believe to be the latest list.

but first, three things.

one: let me give you the blogs that i think should be added:

blogher’s religion and spirituality “department”. i like it because of its variety.

everyone needs therapy by therapydoc. personal development with a mental health twist. or mental twists with a bit of personal development? you be the judge.

intensive care for the nurturer’s soul by hueina su is well-known, at least in my corner of the blogosphere, and i’m surprised i haven’t seen it on the list yet. it’s a blog geared especially to mothers and other caregivers.

edith yeung’s “dream think act” is more business oriented. i find it interesting because it also speaks with the voice of an immigrant – something that the blogosphere has not enough of.

laura young: the dragon slayer’s guide to life. intelligent. courageous. oops! someone beat me to that one.

then, creativity happens by ken dow and martin cooper. you could see this one coming, couldn’t you? i wouldn’t put together such a list without including someone from the arts community.

and i see that another of my favourites is already on the list. it’s another creativity blog, although of a different stripe: inventor, author and consultant roger von oech’s creative think. this guy makes your thinks stand on their heads!

two: blogher people, therapydoc, hueina, edith, laura and ken and martin – do you have any blogs not on here yet that should be included? if so, why don’t you post about it.

three: i’ve created a wiki for this so that we can all work on the list. don’t know what a wiki is? the front page here on the personal development list wiki will tell you. if you want to add to the list, contact me and i’ll give you the password.

and now, without further skidoo, here’s the full list, with my recommendations added:

(update on september 21: it turned out that somehow the tail end of this post got cut off. i’ve now remedied that and added the most recent version of it. so for the accountants and bookkeepers among you: you’ll notice there are more than 405 :))
