Since I made it List of the best self-development blogs in Lithuania<\/a>, the second question I kept hearing was \u201cWhat kind English ones<\/strong> do you read blogs?\u201d.<\/p>\n

I thought, I thought... And I realised that I don't follow that many of them. About three years ago, I used to subscribe to everything in a row, but now I've been left with probably the best quality news sources.<\/p>\n

"The highest quality?"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, such. It is difficult to define quality, especially when it is not clear who represents it. 1<\/a> But I will try to do just that.<\/p>\n

I use:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In my opinion. <\/strong>Of course. Because I'm not a computer and I can't say what's right on this earth and what's wrong.<\/li>\n
  2. Readers' feedback. <\/strong>Although this may not be the best evaluation criterion, 2<\/a> but still sometimes suitable. After all, some authors are loved by almost everyone, while others divide into two fierce camps. What do believers say and what do atheists say?<\/li>\n
  3. Feedback from other authors. <\/strong>What are other authors saying? I'm not sure yet, but it's starting to look like the best developers are also the friendliest. 3<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Google.\u00a0<\/strong>It is the mother and father of our times in one person. And he's uplifting blogs where those looking for answers stay longer. So - I also appreciated the technical information on the pages. 4<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Of course, you may not like these blogs. They may not be useful. At all - maybe you will feel sick and want to run to the bathroom to throw up. But I tried to select blogs so that this does not happen.<\/p>\n

    "Will they answer my questions?"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    *shrugs*<\/p>\n

    Who am I to you? Like a prophet? Let's take a look at the 11 best self-help blogs in the world together. I'll show you what I've collected in my reading museum, and you can pick up the exhibits that appeal to you the most.<\/p>\n

    [tcb-script] jQuery(function($){ $(window).scroll(function(e){ scrollTimeOut = true; if ($('#orodykle').length){ if($(window).scrollTop() + window.innerHeight > $('1TP6Pointer').offset().top) { setTimeout(function(){ $('1TP6Pointer').addClass('onscreen'); }, 750); } } }); } ); [\/tcb-script] \"\"<\/p>\n

    1. <\/em>Marie Forleo. Inspiring to live.<\/h3>\n

    If I were a woman, I'd be Marie. At least I would like to become her - she sings with my voice! This playful, childishly joking and entrepreneurial heroine has been in my circle of followers for a long time.<\/p>\n

    And the most pleasant thing is her works (TV shows<\/a>, audio recordings<\/a>, articles and podcasts<\/a>) only gets better. Two years ago I was happy to discover her, and today, visiting her page again, I am even more happy.<\/p>\n

    Marie will help you get things started.<\/p>\n

    Marie doesn't try to tell you how to set up your own business, write books or raise children. Instead, she helps you move beyond \"I wish...\" to \"I do!\". As Gaius Julius Caesar said, to cross the Rubicon. 5<\/a><\/p>\n

    It helps me: <\/strong>To do. And to do it with quality, like Marie.<\/p>\n

    2.<\/em> The Tim Ferriss Blog. Ten times more productive.<\/h3>\n

    You may have heard of this dude before. Yes, it's shaved, but it's not a maroon. Tim is the author of The 4-Hour Workweek, 6<\/a> from which some of the authors of Lithuanian self-education draw their inspiration. 7<\/a><\/p>\n

    Formerly a writer, he now interviews the world's most extraordinary people on radio programmes. How exclusive? Well...\u00a0Arnold Schwarzenegger level.<\/a><\/p>\n

    Tim will help you work.<\/p>\n

    Own in podcasts<\/a>, in TV shows<\/a> and in the books<\/a> Tim focuses on one theme: how to get the most out of life. You can't magically buy hours, just like you can't buy a healthy body. So how do you make the most of it?<\/p>\n

    It helps me: <\/strong>Do not lose strength and desire to work. I owe half of my productivity to Tim.<\/p>\n

    3.<\/em> Brain Pickings. Tower of reason.<\/h3>\n

    I start my Sunday mornings late. I usually wake up around 11 o'clock in the day 8<\/a> and I spend the first moments with the newsletter of the author of this page.<\/p>\n

    Maria Popova, formerly of Wired UK and The New York Times, is like a mapmaker of the information world. She reads books, watches films, plays, interviews... And puts it all together on her blog. Like a large and impressive library of Babel. 9<\/a><\/p>\n

    Maria will help you stay human.<\/p>\n

    Once upon a time, when you were a very small baby, your first instincts were born. Eight and a half months later, you were born. And one thing separates you from piglets - you can generate mountains of more ideas. But are you giving your brain enough food?<\/p>\n

    It helps me: <\/strong>Create. Theft is the basis of creativity, 10<\/a> and the best thing to steal is the best ideas.<\/p>\n

    4. <\/em>The Art of Manliness. Independent.<\/h3>\n

    I can't say that this blog is for men or only for men. Simply because I am convinced that gender is a difficult term to define. 11<\/a> But it may not be to everyone's liking or benefit.<\/p>\n

    This blog was founded by Brett McKay, owner of the amazing moustache, 12<\/a> aiming to help men become men again. Independent, confident and so on.<\/p>\n

    Brett will help you grow up.<\/p>\n

    This blog has detailed examples and tutorials on how to survive a blizzard, build a house with your own hands, keep your body in shape as you age, or be the first to help someone in need.<\/p>\n

    Helped me: <\/strong>Become independent from parents. 13<\/a><\/p>\n

    You will find it: <\/strong>Artofmanliness.com<\/a><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n

    5. <\/em>Danielle LaPorte. Sensual.<\/h3>\n

    Although I personally don't care for Danielle's style, she has many readers and followers. Danielle is a poet and an entrepreneur who helps you listen to the voice of your soul. Whether you have one, I don't know, but... That's what you'll find out.<\/p>\n

    This author not only writes sensual, inspiring and poetic texts, but also has created them Meanings<\/a> and Business<\/a> search tools that you can really get your eyes on.<\/p>\n

    Danielle will help you hear yourself.<\/p>\n

    Although scientific research is not found in her work, 14<\/a> you will find a bit of mysticism, a simpler and greener approach to business and a holistic philosophy.<\/p>\n

    It helps me: <\/strong>...Well, actually, it doesn't help me much. I don't even like it. But Danielle has her own audience, and I believe you might like her.<\/p>\n

    You will find it: <\/strong>Daniellaporte.com<\/a><\/p>\n

    6. <\/em>Chris Guillebeau. A traveller.<\/h3>\n

    Chris writes every day, organises world-class business conferences and... has travelled to every lovely country in the world. Including Lithuania and North Korea. He still travels, of course, taking his writing instruments with him.<\/p>\n

    If I like to travel 15<\/a> \u2013 Chris would inspire and help. Own in the articles<\/a> and in the books<\/a> he talks about the possibilities of cheap flights and how you too could travel the world.<\/p>\n

    Chris will help you travel.<\/p>\n

    Work while traveling, think while traveling, create acquaintances and business partnerships while traveling. 16<\/a> And if you've ever wanted to turn your knowledge into written content or a business, you'll find answers to these questions as well.<\/p>\n

    It helps me: <\/strong>Write more often and publish the written text. 17<\/a><\/p>\n

    7. <\/em>Seth Godin. Prophet.<\/h3>\n

    It is said that there are five types of bloggers: Journalists, Prophets, Artists, Professors and Stars. 18<\/a> Seth is a prophet. When other authors present technical information or poetic ideas, this one presents the truth.<\/p>\n

    Known for your books<\/a>, Seth publishes at least one post daily, commenting on business and creative issues.<\/p>\n

    Seth will help you break the rules.<\/p>\n

    Rules that just don't work. Rules that should be broken so that we can travel forward and create a better world. Seth mostly talks about business, but his ideas can be applied to parenting as well. 19<\/a><\/p>\n

    It helps me: <\/strong>Build your audience. I'm talking about you, of course. 20<\/a><\/p>\n

    8. <\/em>Tiny Buddha. Wise.<\/h3>\n

    If I'm having a hard time, I'm afraid of a new piece, I don't eat because of excitement or I don't know what I'm feeling - I come here. Although this blog is not lacking in Buddhism-related content, it is not a blog about religion.<\/p>\n

    This is a blog about living a centered, calm, wise life. As I notice when communicating with 70-year-olds in Lithuania, leisure is the good foundation of their days. Focus on the most important thing and you won't have to worry about anything. 21<\/a><\/p>\n

    Lori will help you reconcile.<\/p>\n

    Who is Lori? This is the author of the blog! She doesn't say much about herself, but this piece is exactly her work.<\/p>\n

    It helps me: <\/strong>Calm down, come back to yourself 22<\/a> and enjoy everyday life. 23<\/a><\/p>\n

    9. <\/em>Nerd Fitness. An athletic student.<\/h3>\n

    Physical education was my least favorite subject at school. I disliked it so much that I didn't go to it at all and had to get a double. 24<\/a> I still don't like sports, but I love what this author is doing!<\/p>\n

    Simple, humanly understandable exercises that don't require a gym. And also diets that don't require cosmic fruits and blenders. That's what you'll find here, along with a community of sporting schoolchildren.<\/p>\n

    Steve will help you get stronger.<\/p>\n

    Steve is a sports coach who loves video games and movies. If you've never liked sports clubs, but you're still in the mood - stop by.<\/p>\n

    It helps me: <\/strong>Don't cross the line between a bike and a whale. 25<\/a><\/p>\n

    10. <\/em>Science of People. Sociable.<\/h3>\n

    \"Daniel, I find it difficult to communicate with...\" is such a common question that I have already written three articles and conducted four interviews on the subject. 26<\/a> And it still remains a common question.<\/p>\n

    This blog is all about communication. How dare you ask strangers? How to interest a potential business partner? How to recognize a lie? How to say "No" sincerely?<\/p>\n

    Vanessa will help you talk.<\/p>\n

    Vanessa Van Edwards is a relationship researcher, own articles<\/a> and cables<\/a> learning how to communicate with another person. 27<\/a><\/p>\n

    It helps me: <\/strong>Don't hang your pants while standing on stage.<\/p>\n

    11. <\/em>Wait But Why. Questioning.<\/h3>\n

    In English, the title would be \"Wait, why?\". And it's a phrase that I now ask myself every lovely day. Why is the world the way it is? Where did it come from? And then what was... 28<\/a><\/p>\n

    I try to be like Tim Urban, the author of this page, when I write articles. 29<\/a> This author answers the questions in detail, funny, vividly and at the same time scientifically. 30<\/a><\/p>\n

    Tim will help you exercise your head.<\/p>\n

    It helps me: <\/strong>To live Without new knowledge it would be too boring.<\/p>\n

    You will find it: <\/strong>Waitbutwhy.com<\/a><\/p>\n

    Well, what would you recommend?<\/h2>\n

    As much as I'd like to, I can't go through all the blogs in the world. Even the Lithuanians were difficult to select<\/a>, and here it is more complicated! So please help me and more importantly help other clouders.<\/p>\n

    ...Which 12th blog would you include?<\/p>\n

    My favorite, other people's favorite, it doesn't matter - which one I didn't mention, but it's really worth checking out? A little further down is the comment space. Add me and other clouders!<\/strong><\/p>\n

    And if you don't know anything - then travel down and read what others have to offer. Happy browsing and happy personal growth! \u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n

    1. Style? The situation in which the author created? The cost of creation? I mentioned this when I talked about the books I recommend to friends.<\/a>↩<\/a><\/p><\/li>

    2. But look - there are those who consider even Donald Trump \"Thrifty and tactful\".↩<\/a><\/p><\/li>

    3. Lunatics who scream at children and grandmothers in the streets and show their organs to female colleagues in their free time are usually not the most amazing authors. Mostly.↩<\/a><\/p><\/li>

    4. PR, DA, PA, backlinks. Used MOZ.<\/a>↩<\/a><\/p><\/li>

    5. This is such a river in northern Italy.<\/a>\u00a0In his time, to cross a river was this way - so the army loses the opportunity to retreat - so it takes courage.↩<\/a><\/p><\/li>

    6. Original English The 4-Hour Workweek, published in 2007.<\/a>↩<\/a><\/p><\/li>

    7. For example Super Tribes<\/a> author Linas Matulis ar "Muscle Mind"<\/a> author Simas Bal\u010di\u016bnas.↩<\/a><\/p><\/li>

    8. Yes, I like to sleep long. Fight if you don't agree.<\/a>↩<\/a><\/p><\/li>

    9. As in Jorge Borges' book published in 1941 "The Library of Babylon"<\/a>.↩<\/a><\/p><\/li>

    10. I wrote more in the article "There is no originality. And the world's most famous creators knew this."<\/a>↩<\/a><\/p><\/li>

    11. But maybe about that another time. I hope to take a closer look at all kinds of "Become a Real Woman" or "Alpha Male" courses and how they change people who don't know who they should belong to. I believe gender is a scale, not two points. But I'm not sure enough to expand on that yet.↩<\/a><\/p><\/li>

    12. Well, look at them!<\/a> I mean... I don't cry. But if you want to, click on the link.↩<\/a><\/p><\/li>

    13. And also not to be afraid of the future. After reading the stories of other men, I realized that my current life is much easier than theirs - so I will definitely survive. You just need to use other people's knowledge. I also mention this in our cloud rules poster.<\/a>↩<\/a><\/p><\/li>

    14. Which I love so much.↩<\/a><\/p><\/li>

    15. True, I don't like it. I do not like. It bothers me. Better give me caramel ice cream and Adventure time!↩<\/a><\/p><\/li>

    16. Just like Simon Urbonas from Debesy.<\/a>↩<\/a><\/p><\/li>

    17. First in February with writing<\/a>, and from September 2016, 1% more, daily<\/a>.↩<\/a><\/p><\/li>

    18. According to an article by Jeff Goins The 5 Platform Personalities<\/a>.↩<\/a><\/p><\/li>

    19. I'm not trying to exalt him. Seth also makes mistakes, and some of his texts do not catch the attention of readers. He is a prophet not because he is right, but because he shows us ways that we ourselves have not seen.↩<\/a><\/p><\/li>

    20. From Seth I learned the importance of not getting bogged down with pop-ups, constant "promotions", advertising and cheap praise.<\/p>\n

      Now I try to learn more and give what I have learned. Because I saw that the best way to sell yourself is to not try to sell yourself at all.↩<\/a><\/p><\/li>

    21. I also talk about this in "The Lazy Manifesto".<\/a> You don't have to do everything - you don't have to be close 24\/7. Focus on your family, work, creativity, or whatever is most important to you, and consciously be lazy about the rest.↩<\/a><\/p><\/li>

    22. Milena Koles from Debesy told about it in her article "How to fall in love with your true self and discover the joy of life."<\/a>↩<\/a><\/p><\/li>

    23. Sometimes I present it in a different way - as a reminder that you will die.<\/a>\u00a0In Buddhism, death is also spoken of positively.↩<\/a><\/p><\/li>

    24. But they took pity on me and recorded the 4th.↩<\/a><\/p><\/li>

    25. Although maybe lifting that sack of potatoes or not being suffocated by gardening helps the most. Somehow, I don't manage to gain weight naturally. Maybe it's because I forget to eat...↩<\/a><\/p><\/li>

    26. Just use the search in the article archive<\/a>. In the future, it may be necessary to write a book about it.↩<\/a><\/p><\/li>

    27. Is this the right way to say it? ...Someone says so? ...Editor, what do you think? ...Ai, let it stay here.↩<\/a><\/p><\/li>

    28. C'mon, I'd better shut myself up here because this is probably never going to end.↩<\/a><\/p><\/li>

    29. You see - I even installed bubbles of the same style!↩<\/a><\/p><\/li>

    30. Almost like our Lithuanian Valtinikas<\/a>, but more scientific and detailed!↩<\/a><\/p><\/li><\/ol><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
