Book Review: Personal Development for Smart People
When the King of Personal Development Blogging Steve Pavlina announced he was writing a book that promised to reveal the core underlying principles behind all personal growth, you can bet I got pretty excited. I’ve always been curious about the whys behind what we human beings do, and I was curious about what Steve had [...]

28. September 2008
Most of us know chef Gordon Ramsay from his TV appearances; giving hell to contestants on Hell’s Kitchen or roasting restaurateurs on Kitchen Nightmares.

17. January 2007
The Way of Wyrd How do you become a real-world shaman? My friend Eleutherios the modern-day magician passed me The Way of Wyrd to read again.
