The Kings of Personal Development that You Need To Follow Now!


Good morning beautiful people!

Yesterday I wrote a post on The Top Ten Personal Development Girl-Bosses That You Should Be Following. If you haven't seen it yet you can find it here. In the interest of gender fairness, today I have decided to honour my our male friends who are absolutely slaying the personal development space. 

All of these are blogs that I have personally read and learned a huge amount from. They are my objective opinions and are not sponsored in any way. 


1. Tony Robbins

While most of you have probably already heard of Tony (if you haven't then you should go to www.tonyrobbins.com immediately!), he still deserves to be included on this list. He has absolutely dominated the Personal Development space in recent years and for good reason. Most of his content is focused on developing business and financial freedom with multiple best-selling books such as "UNSHAKABLE: Your Financial Freedom Playbook" (2017), "MONEY: Master The Game: 7 Steps To Financial Freedom (2014) "Unleash The Power Within: The Complete Guide To Self-Empowerment (1999) and "Awaken The Giant Within: Take Control of Your Mental, Emotional and Financial Destiny (1991). He is also one of the most recognised thought leaders and LinkedIn Influencers and provides amazing free content on LinkedIn and on his site (see above link). If you want practical steps that are simple (but not easy!) to implement. Tony is your guy. 

2. James Altucher

Another man you may have heard of as he too is enjoying a reign as one of the top thought leaders and influencers in his field. James is all about reinventing yourself and is the author of the best-sellers "Choose Yourself: Be Happy, Make Millions, Live The Dream" (2013) and "The Power of NO: Because One Little Word Can Bring Health, Abundance and Happiness" (2014) and "The Power of Ask: Ask for What You Want, Get What You Want" (2016), which he co-authored with his wife Claudia Azula Altucher. He as also turned a blog with 300,000+ visitors per month into a quirky and successful comic book series: "The Altucher Confidential: Ideas For A World Out of Balance". 

3. Tim Ferris

Tim is all about using self-development, heath and experimentation to achieve your goals and live a life of freedom.
 He is the creator of the best selling productivity book series "The Four Hour Work Week"(2007), "The Four Hour Body" (2010) and "The Four Hour Chef"(2012)as well as "Tools of Titans: The Tactics, Routines and Habits of Billionaires, Icons and World Class Performers" (2016). 

You will find his blog (https://tim.blog/to be a fantastic resource on productivity and lifestyle design. 
He has also created his own hugely popular personal development podcast:"The Tim Ferris Show".

4. Leo Babauta

Leo is the creator of http://zenhabits.net. On his blog he shares tactical and strategic advice for living a
 simplified, mindful and productive life. He also shares his own inspiring story of how de-cluttering and changing
 his habits transformed his life and helped him find meaning. This led to him writing several successful books
 including: "The Power Of Less: 6 Essential Productivity Habits That Will Change Your Life" (2008) ,
 "Essential Zen Habits: Mastering The Art of Change" (2015)"The Simple Guide To a Minimalist Life" (2009)
 "The Effortless Life: A Concise Manual for Contentment, Mindfulness and Flow" (2012" and "The Little Guide
 To Unprocrastination" (2012). 

5. Ramit Sehi

Ramit is the creator of www.iwillteachyoutoberich.com and has created an entire movement based on knowing your 
worth and developing your earning potential. His website has several free downloadable guides that I myself have
found incredibly useful. The most staggering thing about Ramit? Despite being a global success, he gives away a 
staggering 90% of his content for free on his website and through his email list.

6. Steven Handel

Steven's blog: www.theemotionmachine.com/ continues to be one of my personal favourites. With much of his content 
based on proven psychology he provides amazing content on self-improvement. With popular articles such as "Do you 
need someone to call out your bullshit?" he has a refreshingly honest and authentic writing style that makes his articles
both incredibly useful and entertaining. You won't regret reading!

7. John Wesley

Co-author of www.pickthebrain.com , this site is all about growing yourself, finding the motivation to invoke positive habits 
and change and ultimately achieve your self-improvement goals. 

8. Joshua Becker

Becker has helped to create an entire movement with his site www.becomingminimalist.com. He provides regular,
high quality content on simplifying your life through minimalist habits and how it can make you happier and more 
productive. 

9. Mark Manson

Manson describes himself as an " Author, Thinker and Life Enthusiast". He has turned his blog
 https://markmanson.net/into a successful business and recently made waves all over the world with his most recent book: "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**ck!" which has been endorsed by hugely successful thought leaders and influencers such as Mel Robbins who gave an entire Ted X talk on what she learned from the powerful book.

10. Eric Barker

Finally Eric Barker, the creator of "Bakadesuyo" is a recently discovered favourite of mine. Ironically the name of his blog translates to "I am an idiot" in Japanese, but don't let that fool you. Eric is the author of the recently mega-successful personal development book "Barking Up The Wrong Tree: The Science Behind Why Everything You Know About Success is (Mostly) Wrong" (2017). His blog provides science based articles on how to improve your life in every area from personal relationships to career advice. 


When some of the most influential people in the world were asked by Forbes what the most important habit to achieve success was, almost every single one of them said that it was to read a book (or a blog) everyday and never stop learning. Hopefully this list has given you some places to start. 

Let me know in the comments if you found this list helpful, or share your own favourite sites if they weren't listed.

I hope you all have a happy, healthy and productive day and I will see you soon!
