Free Personal Development Material

Paul Foreman, who’s mind maps I wrote about back in July, has another page set up with high quality free inspirational material:

Inspirational Downloads - www.spiritualinspiration.co.uk

There you’ll find a pdf file which contains 50 short excerpts from various personal development books.  It reads like a “best of the best” when it comes to inspiration, success, and spirituality.

But wait, there’s more!

Paul also has two image files that I think are just beautiful… a Positive Words Sheet and an Uplifting Words Sheet.

Then there’s his Reading List and Six Book Plan - very useful if you’re not sure where to start in your personal development reading, what you want to read next, or if you’ve overloaded your reading list and just need something to focus on.

Thanks, Paul, for making all of this available!

I just came across an outstanding resource for free educational and personal development audiobooks: LearnOutLoud.com.  As I write this, I’m listening to a perfectly recorded free audio version of As A Man Thinketh by James Allen.

As I browsed around the site, I came across the following free titles that readers of this blog might be interested in:

• Self Reliance by Ralph Waldo Emerson
• Yes You Can by Jim Donovan
• Extraordinary Leadership by Robin Sharma
• The Fundamental Principles of Personal Wealth by Unknown
• Zaadz: 50 Things I’m Going to Do Today by Brian Johnson
• The Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence
• As A Man Thinketh by James Allen (yes, it’s worth mentioning twice!)

Those just scratch the surface - the LearnOutLoud.com Free Directory has over 500 titles available in downloadable audio and streaming video format, and their podcast directory currently has 195 titles available in the Self Development category alone.  I’d also recommend that you subscribe to their blog and newsletters so you can keep up to date on the newest titles as they are added.

Happy listening and learning!
