This is an introduction to some of the work being done to re-assess the current state of the personal development tools and processes and what we can learn from the business world.
Let's hack personal development
- 2. Theres a chronic disconnect between what people set out to do and what they actually achieve in life
- 3. The tools for personal growth are out-dated
- 4. Earl Nightingale back in the 1950s We live today in a golden age. This is an era that humanity has looked forward to, dreamed of, and worked toward for thousands of years. We live in the richest era that ever existed on the face of the earth ... a land of abundant opportunity for everyone. However, if you take 100 individuals who start even at the age of 25, do you have any idea what will happen to those men and women by the time theyre 65? These 100 people believe theyre going to be successful. They are eager toward life, there is a certain sparkle in their eye, an erectness to their carriage, and life seems like a pretty interesting adventure to them. But by the time theyre 65, only one will be rich, four will be financially independent, five will still be working, and 54 will be broke depending on others for lifes necessities. Only five out of 100 make the grade! Why do so many fail? What has happened to the sparkle that was there when they were 25? What has become of the dreams, the hopes, the plans ... and why is there such a large disparity between what these people intended to do and what they actually accomplished? These are not new problems
- 6. What is the forecast for the future?
- 7. Increasing depth and complexity of relationships and interdependencies

- 16. Are the tools we are using still relevant?
- 17. Tools are designed for a more certain world
- 18. Where would you rather go to get your tooth removed?
- 19. A different way of thinking is needed
- 21. "If you want to teach people a new way of thinking, don't bother trying to teach them. Instead, give them a tool, the use of which will lead to new ways of thinking." Buckminster Fuller
- 23. This is where the real learning happens We must continuously push ourselves to the edge of our comfort zone and challenge our thinking
- 24. We must challenge the status quo
- 25. We need a new approach- an iterative and adaptive approach
- 26. We are kidding ourselves if we think we can predict the future
- 28. The business world is starting to understand this (Led by tech startups)
- 31. What can personal development learn from the business world?
- 32. Accept that everything is an assumption- a hypothesis to be tested our daily lives
- 35. Fail fast, fail often In a managed and controllable manner
- 36. Adopt a continuous process of validated learning
- 38. We must take a holistic, integrated view
- 39. Things can look ok in isolation...
- 40. ...but we have to look at the whole picture
