Self Improvement Podcasts

Posted by Peter on November 21st, 2007

Last week I started a new job that requires me to commute 40 minutes each way by car. This commute has reminded me of 2 things: 1) I can’t stand the inane chatter, frequent ads, and terrible music that seems to fill the airwaves of commercial radio and 2) I love how I can download podcasts onto my iPod and then play them through my car stereo. Since I have rediscovered the joys podcasts, I thought I would share with you 5 free self improvement that I enjoy (in no particular order). If you know of any other good ones, let me know in the comments.
Note: for those who don’t know, podcasts are basically pre-recorded audio programs you can download onto your computer and listen to whenever you want. You don’t need an iPod to play podcasts.

1. Guy Finley

Guy is a best-selling author and well-known radio presenter. He speaks on a range of issues, including relationships, fear, addiction, stress/anxiety, peace, happiness, and freedom. These podcasts are guaranteed to stretch your mind.

2. Robin Sharma

Robin is one smooth talker - I love listening to his voice. He backs this up with some of the most inspiring, yet down-to-earth, advice you will come across. Whilst he doesn’t seem to record many new podcasts these days, there are 35 podcasts available free on his page.

3. Steve Pavlina

I was actually introduced to podcasting through Steve. Like Robin Sharma, Steve seems to have slowed down with recording new podcasts. That said, he has 20 podcasts available on his page and each of them is a goldmine of wisdom.

4. The Cultivate Greatness Podcast

Travis’ podcasts are delivered in a relaxed and fun manner. They cover a wide range of topics, and are definitely worth checking out.

5. Patrick Mathieu’s Mindful Moment Podcast

Patrick’s podcast is a relatively new find. Anyone who read my last article Review: What’s Your Expiry Date? will be aware that Patrick has an inspiring and personal message to share. Patrick is a professional speaker, and this comes across in the quality of his delivery.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for sharing all these podcasts. They are all great!
I love this one “Run to Fear” by Robin Sharma especially. Very good story
about running towards your Fear instead of running away from it.

Blessings
Gamy
