Introduction to Personal Development 2025

By Mohammed L. Hussain [12/27/2022]

  1. Introduction
    1. Personal development is a new phenomenon.  But it’s as old as civilization.  It focuses on personal growth and achievement.  They are both necessary ingredients for success.
  2. Background
    1. I spent many years studying my craft.  This is a labor of love. I started out like you.  With many questions and no one to show me the way.  Then I listened to lead the field and I was running.  It clarified, for the first time, what I knew to be true. To trust my instincts and rely on myself for decisions.  I wished they had taught this course in school.  I would have majored in it.
