The Top 10 Personal Development Blogs You Wish You Knew About Earlier
When people think of what the top personal development blogs are they commonly think of blogs such as the Four Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss or Zen Habits. While these are great blogs that offer some top notch content, their are plenty of other great personal development blogs that not everyone has heard of. We realized this and decided to put together a list of the Top 10 Personal Development Blogs You Wish You Knew About Earlier. While some people may recognize some of the blogs on our list, for those of you who still haven’t discovered them we hope you enjoy them!
One of the biggest reasons why people read blogs is because they want to get advice or information on a particular topic. Personal development blogs are extremely important to the online community because of the service it provides for many people. From teaching others how to maximize their efficiency, to helping others find what they are passionate about, personal development blogs are a great learning tool.
For our list we focused primarily on blogs that have the potential to be ‘household names’ in the blogosphere. Taking into account the blogs site traffic as well as it’s Technorati authority and the number of linkbacks that the site had, we were able to come up with our list. While our list only highlights 10 blogs, there are still plenty more out there for you to find!

Great list! I regularly read most of them! It’s only a matter of time before I make the list
Glad you like it! We hope to see you on the list as well
Hi Joseph:
This is a great list, most of which I’m not familiar with, and I look forward to checking them out. Another blog you my want to include on your list is Mike Myatt’s N2growth Blog (www.n2growth.com/blog). I got hooked on it last year and it’s one of my favorites…
Awesome find Dan! I will definitely check out your recommendation and perhaps add it for the future
Hope you enjoy some of the new sites on the list!
Thank you for the link! That is very generous!
Very insightful blogs indeed…
Thanks so much for the love.
Oh, and you’re awesome!
Great list - some are new to me but I can say that Illuminated Mind, Marc and Angel, Jonathan Fields and Urban Monk are all great!
These blogs are top notch. I’ve been following Marc and Angel Hack Life for awhile. Their writing is top notch.
Wait! Where’s briankim.net???? You should check it out!
*Cough*PluginID, 60,000 visitors last month*cough*
Haha, great list, some of my favourite bloggers are there. I’m surprised to see LifeClever up there though, the blog seems to have changed topic and rarely updates now.
All in all, cool list
Cheers,
Glen
This is a great list! I know more than half the bloggers up there who run excellent blogs, so I’m not too surprised to see them up there. Hope to make the list some day too. Meanwhile, I’ve bookmarked Viralogy and will return regularly
Great list! Hopefully YSN.com (your success network) will make the list one of these days!
Love your new site here BTW. Will tweet this article now! Congrats on all the great work here.
Great list! I find it’s is very useful! I will check them out for sure! Thanks for the information!
Fabulous list, Joseph. I’ve found captivating posts on all the ones I’ve checked.
Sometimes, I see “top 10″ posts that make me wonder, but this one is actually full of useful and visited websites with excellent content. Well done!
When you post on parenting blogs, I hope you will visit mine (trying to add it to Viralogy. So far, no luck).
hi,
it is very great list.I find it is very useful.
hi,
it is very good.it is very useful to us.
thanks.
Wow! What a great list! Most of them I’m familiar with (and love) and the others I’m off to check out right now.
Thanks for this list– I read a few, but now will check them all out. Much appreciated!
Nice list. I went to number one and they have not posted for 45 days. How can they be number one?
Have some very helpful blogs on the list.
Thanks for this! awesome resources!
