Steve wrote in the thread Next Pod Cast?

Quote:

Consider starting a thread for people to suggest topics for future podcasts -- I don't have a specific topic picked for the next one yet.

So what are some topics we would love for Steve to podcast about?

Here is one suggestion: Your experiences in going from giving your icebreaker in Toastmasters to giving $10,000 speeches.

I want to hear more about Subjective Reality. I know, I know...its probably all been done...but still...I find if Steve says it...I feel more reassured

It's funny, I was thinking about my first post, and I realized that I actually would want to hear more about Subjective Reality too. There are a number of sticking points with it that I'm having trouble with so I'd love to hear them answered. One of those I'd love to see addressed is: Why is Steve trying to convince us he does not exist? (not being mean, but if Steve believes none of us are conscious and real, then why bother? And the conflict between me knowing I'm conscious, and Steve knowing he is conscious....etc)

I would be more interested in the topic of emotion. Or physical health. But those have been covered a lot.

Pioneer5000 · 06-28-2007, 04:59 PM

How about something on one of the following topics: Time Management/Motivation/Overcoming Procrastination.

Sam988 · 06-28-2007, 10:22 PM

More on polarity plz

A lower/mid-level warning podcast specifically to enable people to stop identifying with the "guru" Steve, words and labels in general and emphasizing the importance of learning truth for oneself.

1. It'd be interesting to hear a podcast on personal development as a topic on its own -- commentary along the lines of http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/200...-help-junkies/ and http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/200...f-help-cynics/ Or, e.g. the general approach to personal development as in podcast 1.

2. Human interactions, social development, etc. As in http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/200...relationships/ and http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/200...relationships/.

3. Analogies always work well in audio. http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/200...ultimate-game/ or something like it would make for a fun podcast.

4. Overcoming addiction -- TV, net or otherwise. e.g. http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/200...ews-addiction/

5. Consciousness, as in http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/200...ore-conscious/ , http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/200...ore-conscious/ and http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/200...ss-revolution/. I've always enjoyed the consciousness approach to PD. It doesn't seem like you've approached the topic directly in any podcasts.

Steve's view on ingrained social pressures and standards, or something along those lines.

Generally his podcasts are aimed and helping the listener, I'm sure there would be ways to integrate learning and improvements in this area. Although I think a podcast with Steve just discussing his views/opinion on a subject without any pressure to provide helpful advice could be a nice change, whether it is about the above subject or not.

Andrew Brunelle · 07-02-2007, 02:24 AM

May I suggest a podcast or maybe even a video blog on "How to Cook Brown Rice?" That should stir up some controversy.

seeker5 · 07-05-2007, 01:39 AM

One topic I haven't heard on the podcast is how to deal with relationship in which you are growing. I had assumed for several years that once I've "fixed" myself, then I will find a woman who has everything I want and marry her. Now that I've changed my paradigm from "fixing" myself to "growing" myself, I will never be at the point of perfection, as I will continue to be constantly growing one way or another. So a topic I would be interested in hearing about, is how to successfully handle a marriage while being a person who grows and changes their aspect of their personality? How does the dynamic play out, and what are recommendations to find someone who will deal with growth, and then how to deal with that.

Keith · 07-06-2007, 02:13 AM

I'd be interested in a podcast on overcoming a lack of motivation.

One on what to do with all that brown rice would be handy too.

Pioneer5000 · 08-13-2007, 09:33 AM

Sorry for brining this up again. But any signs of a new podcast?
