Everyone has his/her personal
choices about reading the contemporary content. The contemporary content is
available in various forms such as novels, comics, journals, e-books,
newspapers and magazines. However, recently a new form has been added to these.
It is called blogs. This is catching up with the people like you and me. Often,
bloggers are those people who, apart from contributing in the aforementioned forms of content, also have their own website where they directly address the audience
on a regular basis.
They write, most of the times, from the personal experiences that their lives throw at them. Often a single event proves to be a life-changing event (such as, a person who witnessed the fall of the World Trade Centre/Twin Towers or a person who went from rags to riches and as a result, underwent huge transformation) and thus, the journey of assessing the experiences and sharing them with a larger set of audience starts. For example, as I shared in my previous entry that there are Three Aims That Keep Me Motivated.
In the same context, and on the basis of my current findings and readings, I share with you my favourite four blogs. I try to follow them as much as possible. The blogs of Alex Lickerman, Penelope Trunk, Steve Pavlina and Morty Lefkoe are my favourite. Collectively, these blogs have rendered a ‘sea change’ in my life. It is the collective force of or direction provided in these blogs due to which I also started blogging. And, at times, I think that I should also have the similar impact on those who read my blog.
Here, I share the links to and brief details of these four favourite blogs for you.
Alex
Lickerman is a physician, former Assistant Professor of Medicine and Director of
Primary Care, and current Assistant Vice President for Student Health and
Counseling Services at the University
of Chicago. He is also
been a practicing Buddhist since 1989.
The form of Buddhism he
practices is called Nichiren Buddhism, named after its founder, Nichiren
Daishonin. The lay organization of Nichiren Buddhists to which he belongs is
called the Soka Gakkai International (SGI).
Alex writes this blog to
share his views on topics relating to health, happiness, and personal
development. His principal aim is to explore spirituality from a scientific
point of view and help people think about life, happiness and themselves in
ways they never have before.
His first book, The Undefeated Mind, will be published
in Fall of 2012.

Morty
Lefkoe is president and founder of The Lefkoe Institute. He is the creator of a
series of psychological processes (The Lefkoe Method) that result in profound
personal and organizational change, quickly and permanently.
He has written a book about
the Lefkoe Belief Process (LBP), Re-create
Your Life: Transforming Yourself and Your World (Andrews McMeel, 1997;
trade paper version, DMI Publishing, 2003). The book explains how the LBP
works, how it is significantly different from most forms of psychotherapy, its
spiritual implications, and how its principles can be applied to parenting,
health, business and social change. It also includes several case histories
involving clients who have successfully dealt with dysfunctional patterns.
Morty has also written an essay that details research on the mind-body
connection in sports and his work with athletes.
