Something different...

A few years back, when i was fresh in the industry, I used to read up a fair amount on "Personal Productivity" and "Effectiveness". Some of the articles that were useful to me were written by a person named "Steve Pavlina" who used to run a games site.

I did a search for those articles again a few weeks back and I found that he has quit games and moved on to have his own personal development website http://www.stevepavlina.com. and http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/

Spent sometime reading it up and what I find different about this person is his hands on approach to everything that he tries. If something is not dangerous and worth knowing about then he tries it out on himself for a few months and writes about his conclusions (polyphasic sleep, living without a microwave, manifesting money through intention! ... ) .

He is pretty comfortable writing his point of view and experience about things that are usually considered bizzare (paranormal).

Definitely worth a read. Be prepared for something unconventional and ask yourself why you feel uncomfortable if you do !

I always remind myself that whats "rational" today was not rational a few centuries back and what will be "rational" a few decades from now may not be considered rational today.
