I’m happy to say that my post Do You Want to Work a Four Hour Workweek? was featured in this week’s Personal Development Carnival which was hosted at the always stimulating Creating a Better Life blog.

As always, it’s a great feeling to be featured along side so many other great bloggers. Two of my favorites from this week are:

Bad Buddhist vs. The Seventh Precept at Diary of a Bad Buddhist. I love a blog with a humorous name! This post does a great job of trying to tease out the intentions of one of the more antiquated sounding Buddhist precepts.

I Choose Happiness. Do You? at Millionaire Mommy Next Door. This is an awesome post about learning to be happy despite some really tough life circumstances.

It’s been a little while since I’ve done a ChangeLinks post, and it’s not for a lack of lots of talented people producing lots of great content. In fact, it’s been too hard for me to choose what to highlight! Here is just a small sampling of the great change and personal development material I’ve read recently.

Scott H. Young shared a great post at Lifehack.org with 15 Steps to Cultivate Lifelong Learning. These are all great, but I especially like 12) Follow Your Intuition. As Scott writes, learning is all about the journey and it’s sometimes best to have no goal in mind.

I recently came across an interesting site called 30 sleeps. In the site’s own words, “30zzz is an online community to set, manage, and track your goals on the world stage.” The combination of goal tracking with community support and accountability is a powerful motivator.

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a big fan of Stephen Shapiro. His blog entry How to Change Your Results by Changing Your Language is a powerful reminder that we have to frame our goals in ways that our subconscious will believe is possible.

The always cool Slow Leadership blog explains Why Your Flawed Notion of Change May Be Holding You Back. This post presents a great argument for why organizational change can happen in a bottom-up fashion.

And from the NSRT archives I humbly present Not All Change is Created Equal - Multiple Levels of Change.

I’m happy to say that my post Sliding Scales of Change was featured in this week’s Personal Development Carnival.

As always, there were many good entries. I especially enjoyed You Can’t Help Others Without Helping Yourself at I’m Happy Fish.  My day job involves working with not-for-profit organizations. We always try to emphasize that volunteering is as much a benefit for the volunteer as for the recipient. Go out and help someone today and see if you feel better!
