Is passive income really possible? Can you really make money while you sleep? Can you make a living without having a job? Personal- development innovator Steve Pavlina has been doing just that for more than 25 years, and in this succinct but powerful book, he explains how you can do it too. Steve writes, "I can't teach you real estate or stock investing, nor can I teach you how to create a blog as successful as mine has been. But I can still teach you how to create your own streams of passive income, first in a general way and then specifically in the methods I've used. If you simply follow these steps with me, including getting into the passive income mindset, then this year you're going to create at least one new stream of passive income for yourself." If you're serious about understanding passive income and changing your life to achieve it, Steve Pavlina's Getting Started with Passive Income provides inspiration, encouragement, and solid advice. Steve notes, "It's much easier to earn passive income today than it was when I first began on this path. There are such ridiculous opportunities out there, especially online. People figured out how to earn passive income thousands of years ago. Surely with all the additional knowledge and resources available to you today, you can do this too."

Does life have a meaning? A more pertinent question is, "Does your life have a meaning?" Personal development innovator Steve Pavlina asserts that it definitely does, and in this succinct but powerful book, he explains in detail how to know what that meaning is and how to achieve it. Steve writes, "Investing in your own growth is the best investment you can make. Don't think for a minute that it's a selfish pursuit. Quite the contrary - it is in fact the best thing you can do to help others. If you feel you are not contributing much with your life right now, don't beat yourself up about it or deny what you could become if you were only strong enough. Instead, turn inward and work on yourself until you become the kind of person on the inside who automatically expresses good as a manifestation of who you are." If you're serious about understanding your purpose in the world and then changing your life to achieve it, Steve Pavlina's The Meaning of Life provides inspiration, encouragement, and solid advice about doing just that.

I figured I'd learn more valuable skills, tackle more challenges, and enjoy a richer life as an entrepreneur than I would as someone else's employee. That turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life. The happiest and most successful business owners I know are almost invariably more motivated by the personal growth aspects of business than the financial aspects. Many of them love the challenge, and nothing motivates them so much as turning an idea into reality. The money they earn in business helps to fuel their personal growth interests. In the years I've been blogging, hundreds of readers (possibly thousands by now) have told me they quit their jobs and started their own businesses. That doesn't surprise me because entrepreneurship can provide many growth lessons and opportunities that are difficult to experience any other way. When you're an entrepreneur, you'll often feel like you're learning and growing at warp speed. Ground your growth in the real world Many personal growth concepts sound intriguing, but do they work in the real world? Without actual testing, it's impossible to know which ideas have merit. Try applying those ideas to a real business, and see how they perform. This cuts through the B.S. and helps you identify the gems. You'll discover that some ideas which sound a bit airy fairy actually work well in business, while other ideas that seem smart and logical are too inflexible to be useful in the uncontrolled chaos of the real world. Sometimes you'll observe results that evade a clear conclusion but which help you discover more subtleties. This will polish your thinking, such as by helping you recognize when the time is right to race ahead with optimism vs. when to put on your skeptics cap and think twice about a so-called opportunity. You may respect promising theories and ideas in the sanctuary of your own mind, but in business you'll learn to respect what works. You'll receive meaningful feedback to see how your ideas pan out. You always have numbers to look at, such as your sales and profits... or your losses and debts. In the pure space of ideas, there are no time limits. In business you'll learn to favor ideas that can be applied efficiently because time is your scarcest resource. You may love your daily 90-minute hot yoga classes (perhaps 2.5 hours including driving time and showering), but when you see opportunities passing you by while you're sweating it out at the studio, you'll surely feel some pressure to find a more efficient way to exercise. * * *

THE #1 CONTROVERSIAL BESTSELLER ON HOW TO FALL ASLEEP "There's a reason you can't fall asleep-you're doing it wrong." Grab this book and finally, blissfully fall asleep... Over the last two decades a new type of disorder has emerged, one that is almost essentially in this modern society. Ripped out of their natural habitat and penetrated into the working hours of 21st century life, it's no wonder we're not sleeping. We're doing it wrong. In How to Fall Asleep in 30 Seconds, bestselling author and #1 personal development blogger in the world Steve Pavlina tells the story of the massive cultural upheaval that produced this sleep deprived epidemic, and shares controversial techniques and tactics on how to fall asleep and stay asleep. Stop and think: Realize that if it takes you fifteen minutes on average to fall asleep each night, that's more than 91 hours per year that you're wasting. This is the equivalent of spending more than two entire forty-hour workweeks just lying in bed waiting to fall asleep. And if you have insomniac tendencies and take more than an hour to fall asleep each night, you're spending more than nine 40-hour weeks on that pointless activity - every year. That's a tremendous amount of wasted time. If you'd like to change this situation, keep reading. I'll explain the details and share a process for training your brain to fall asleep almost instantly when you're ready to go to bed. Ask yourself - Do you have trouble falling or staying asleep?- Are you waking in the middle of the night?- Are you tossing and turning for hours only to drop off just before your alarm goes off?- Do you find yourself hitting the snooze button, until the very last minute, only to have to dash out the door, so you're not late?- Are you irritable after a poor night's sleep?- Do you feel exhausted the next day or have trouble concentrating and being productive?- Is your lack of good sleep becoming worrisome? In this book, you'll learn: - how to fall asleep in less than 30 seconds- how to become an early riser- how to get up right away when your alarm clock rings- how to give up coffee for the best sleep of your life What are you waiting for?

In How to Become Vegan, New York Times bestselling author Steve Pavlina explains the long-term benefits he's experienced over the last 18 years of leading a vegan lifestyle - not only the physical advantages, but the mental clarity and the incredible boost in energy that happened once he managed to go vegan past 30 days. Chapter 1: How to Transition to Vegan Foods Chapter 2: Increasing Your Food Intelligence Chapter 3: Restoring Conscious Choice Chapter 4: Eat Vegan on a Budget Chapter 5: Eat Vegan While Traveling Chapter 6: Be Unapologetically Vegan Chapter 7: Legal Discrimination Chapter 8: Eating Vegan Is Just the Beginning Chapter 9: Honour Your True Feelings Chapter 10: Dealing with Animal Eaters Chapter 11: Vegan Romance Chapter 12: Go Fully Vegan Chapter 13: Create Your Own Vegan Rituals PREVIEW: Be Unapologetically Vegan New vegans are often pretty socially timid when it comes to getting their needs met. Some of them act like they should apologize for inconveniencing other people, as if it's an unfair burden to help someone who doesn't want to slaughter animals for food. I suggest you dump that attitude. Being vegan is awesome. You need never apologize for it. By going vegan, you've made a decision that's all around better for everyone. Have no doubt about that. Don't buy into the brainwashing that tells you you're a high-maintenance social outcast. Don't marginalize yourself. You've made an intelligent choice. You're not a social outcast. You're a leader. Act like one. Many vegans adopt the mindset that being vegan puts them on the fringes of society. The thinking is that when you go vegan, you're no longer a mainstream person. You're weird, different, and unusual. You're not like everyone else. If you've bought into that kind of thinking, you've inadvertently swallowed some propaganda from the animal products industries. They devote part of their marketing budgets, both directly and through trade associations, to encourage people to marginalize vegans in this way. Why? Because veganism is a threat to their profits. So they manipulate social pressures to try to prevent more people from wanting to go that route. It's unfortunate that vegans buy into this kind of thinking too. I've certainly fallen for it at times. Instead of seeing yourself as an outcast, get aligned with the truth. By going vegan you've made serious progress in improving your lifestyle, not just for your own benefit but for the benefit of animals, other people, and the world as a whole. This isn't outcast behavior. This is leadership, plain and simple. By graduating to veganism, you've put yourself at the top of the human pyramid in terms of alignment with intelligent, ethics, and conscious growth. Feel good about what you've accomplished, and keep learning, growing, and improving. This isn't a mindset that stems from arrogance or conceit. It stems from caring. Isn't it obvious that as a vegan, you're behaving in a more caring and compassionate way towards the planet? It's it obvious that the world would be greatly improved if more people followed suit? Let the obviousness of that sink in. * * *
