PDSP Book Resource Discussion Thread

[seeker5]

This thread is for discussion related to PDSP Book Resource Links

• Interface Leader's Inspirational Quote Wallpapers (3)
  
• Bruce Achterberg's Diagram of Truth, Love, Power

These two links didn't work anymore. I'm not sure why, but I fixed them. I know when I put them up originally I was very careful in making sure they worked. I'll check again in a few days to see if they still work.

Not for the purpose of this list, as it's for all resources that link to the 7 principles talked in Steve's book. The linked article doesn't talk about the book or its principles.

No, it's an indirect relationship that provides a lot of scientific basis to personal development and spirituality. But feel free to remove it or place it in a thread where it will be more relevant.

Thanks Bruce for your idea of starting this thread

Thanks for setting it up, Seeker.

For those of you who don't have access to the Moderator forum board, Seeker took the elegance of his original design for the resource list and masterfully incorporated aspects of my modified example and the long list of my suggestions and explanations of why I made the changes I did. The result is what you see in this thread.

My suggestion and explanation changelist was a bit of a monster, threatening to devour all who came near, so props to Seeker for managing to go through it and not drown in the complexity (read: get eaten).

As mentioned in the first post, you guys are welcome to submit any resources you know of or have made yourself by simply making a reply in this thread. We'll periodically check this thread and, so long as they reasonably fit the resource list, we'll add them to the first post, crediting the creator of the resources (although we're considering how we can credit you for your efforts).

You're also welcome to discuss in this thread. Appropriate discussion topics include, but are not limited to, posts about how great my idea is and how awesome I am.

(Just kidding. You guys should actually discuss important stuff. And yes, as you can see, I can go from blatant self-promotion to self-depreciation in 0.6 seconds. I can also make a post that can be used for other resources--if needed; contact me first--look like a genuine contribution. )

Hey Chris, what's the purpose of a squidoo lens, esp for the Steve one? I'm not familiar with it. Is it to rate how good different links are?

Well, "purpose of a squidoo lens" is a very massive topic... so I'll try to keep it narrow in focus.

In the case of Steve's PDSP book - it provides a few purposes:

1) A comprehensive list of reviews about his book
- Even though Steve already maintains a list, having another piece of internet "virtual real estate" to drive more traffic to reviews only helps further the promotion of PDSP.

2) As you pointed out, the ranking system helps people theoretically find higher quality reviews.

3) People can add to the list... so if somebody randomly writes a review about Steve's book, it can be added there easily. This is particularly relevant if people writing the reviews are doing it without any contact with Steve.
- I'm not sure how likely this is, but it is a possibility.

4) It doesn't appear that the Squidoo lens owner has done much with the lens... but in theory, there could be a lot more fun things on the page like:

- Adding video reviews from YouTube
- Have a 'debate' module for any number of topics related to Steve's book

I personally think this would be the best use of it... to really create an interactive experience around the reviews of PDSP.

I don't know if the lens owner will actually do something like that (hopefully she will after reading this forum post!)

So for now, I offer it primarily for reasons # 1 and #2 and in hopes that #4 becomes a reality.

Has anybody even done a video review of PDSP yet? That would certainly be cool.

I saw in another thread that the lens owner has been updating the lens with Steve's new reviews. So I went ahead and added this to the resource guide:

• Squidoo Lens of the reviews. (Nov.23.08)
