Default Personal development systems

Howdy all,

First post and all that. I've been interested in personal development systems as a way to leverage change for some time. To me, a PDS (acronym alert!) varies from most development regimes in that proposes a series of routines, tasks and behaviors that when followed will add up to to personal development. In other words, it makes personal development a technical task with predictable results if you follow the steps. A system or science.

I contrast that to most development books where the reader is filled up with heady sounding ideas with no well-designed framework for that reality to manifest.

For example, a company named Sybersion puts out a series of self-development systems around various topics like high achievement, discipline, creativity, marriage, and various sports. The system is based on research on the neurology of the brain and nervous system.

I've used it and I can say it does affect behavior and you can create new positive habits by following the course.

Another course I discovered following a link on this site was thinktq.com. Their bent is that they've condensed the wisdom of the ages around personal development into one course. Just follow the actions they suggest and your quotient of time to results rises in leaps and bounds. Meaning you get your goals accomplished in less time with more success.

Since I have yet to purchase the ThinkTQ course, I'm wondering if anyone here has checked it out? I'm having mixed feeling so far.

They purport to give you a highly defined blueprint for success, which if followed inevitably leads one to find your mission, values, and roles and bind them together in a powerful set of behaviors that propels one forward into success.

Sounds great, less filling. Anyone actually worked this course for any length of time?
