seeker: Not to steal Steve's thunder regarding his up-coming book, but heck, do you really put that much trust in a book?? Even them TV manuals have been wrong on occasion, you know!
Ultimately, personal development is personal. I don't look at Steve's site -- that is to say, all his ideas -- as a road-map for myself. I look at it as an interesting painting that he's painted. It's very pretty, and inspires me to paint something as well. But in no way am I going to follow him as if he were Bob Ross (anyone remember the happy-little-trees white guy with the afro?
)....
Indeed, the whole notion of "personal development" and "personal growth" sounds like a consumer-society-packaging of what used to be called, um, living a life. Pain, suffering, and a bit of joy mixed in for a punchline.
Again, not to detract from Steve's contribution to the world of ideas and all that. But even he's just another guy, and surely he's wrong about something in 400+ articles. Sure, a lot of value there -- but not "priceless."
