44 Essential Personal Development Posts from ’08

2008 has been by far the best year of my life. I have hundreds of stories to tell, tons of new friends and I’m rounding up the experience of a life-time over here in South Africa. I started PluginID around 6 months into 2008 and it’s amazing how quickly time goes by when you work hard and enjoy the journey. It honestly feels like yesterday when I registered the domain.

Since being heavily doused in the ‘Personal Development‘ niche, I’ve came across some amazing people, blogs and content. To end of the year with PluginID readers, I wanted to share some of the best content I’ve read in the last 12 months based on a number of different topics.

I know some of these sites won’t like to be labeled with the term ‘Personal Development’ so take each site for what you will. However, labeled or not, the following blogs have consistently produced brilliant content and I’ve picked out some of my favorites to highlight below.
