About Steve Pavlina
Steve Pavlina is widely recognized as one of the most successful personal development bloggers on the Internet, attracting more than two million monthly readers to his website, StevePavlina.com. He has written more than 1000 articles and recorded many audio programs on a broad range of self-help topics, including productivity, relationships, and spirituality. Steve has been quoted as an expert by the New York Times, USA Today, U.S. News & World Report, the Los Angeles Daily News, Self Magazine, and The Guardian. He has also been a guest on numerous radio and Internet radio shows.
Steve's book Personal Development for Smart People was published by Hay House in 2008 and has been translated into a dozen different languages. It hit the Amazon.com top 100 list months before it was released.
Steve's passionate pursuit of personal growth began while sitting in a jail cell. Arrested for felony grand theft at age 19 and expelled from school, the full weight of responsibility for his life came crashing down on him. In an attempt to move beyond his out-of-control lifestyle, he decided the best course of action was to go to work on himself.
Since then Steve has become one of the most intensely growth-oriented individuals you'll ever know. He earned college degrees in computer science and mathematics in only three semesters, founded a successful software company, developed award-winning computer games, ran the Los Angeles Marathon, trained in martial arts. Steve has been 100% vegan since 1997.
Within a few years after he started blogging, Steve created one of the most popular personal development websites in the world -- without spending any money on marketing or promotion. Some of his articles have been translated into more than a dozen different languages, benefitting readers from 150 countries. In 2010 Steve uncopyrighted all of his articles and podcasts, so anyone is free to translate or republish them.
Steve has a reputation for conducting unusual growth experiments, such as his polyphasic sleep trial, during which he slept only two hours per day for five and a half months, publicly documenting his results each step of the way.
Steve currently lives in Las Vegas.
Steve's life purpose is:
to care deeply, connect playfully, love intensely, and share generously;
to joyfully explore, learn, grow, and prosper;
and to creatively, brilliantly, and honorably serve the highest good of all.
