Thanks for your comments – I’m happy to give Leo the benefit of the doubt – certainly he reveals more of himself online than a lot of others do, through video etc… but I guess we can be too reliant on reading encouraging posts & therefore forget to just get out there in the real world and GET AT IT!

btw – props for the funny comment, ‘vanilla of all vanillas’ – ha

It is the vanilla of all vanilla's. Leo thinks a bit too much of himself and frankly we have no idea of what the real Leo is like. Example: Have you read the post of office clutter. He has nothing on his desk except his computer. Maybe that works for him or someone in prison, but not the real world. Tired of Leo's preaching and my life is better than your life posts. Zen Habits IS boring. Yawn!! Zen Habits is incredibly boring and repetitive. It is the vanilla of all vanilla’s. Leo thinks a bit too much of himself and frankly we have no idea of what the real Leo is like.

Take the positive points and ignore the negative ones. It's as simple as that. But you're right, we often only read and never try to put it into practice. This is a mistake. <abbr><em>Arswino’s last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/bestinspirationalquotes4u/WLhz/~3/489450102/" rel="nofollow">Did You Know ?</a></abbr></em> Hi Ross, most of the time reading other blogger’s posts is very useful for increasing our insight and passion.

Thanks for your comments - just this week I've decided to really move away from the list / 'how to' blandness and try to be a bit more personal with my posts. Thanks for the feedback, I'm still testing the waters a little, but you can expect my posts from now on to be a bit more 'real'. Of course, this may cause a bit of controversy, but bring it on, I say! @LifeMadeGreat – Hi!

Something that is rather thought-provoking. I'm not big into lists of answers and quick-fix solutions. I also prefer blogs that tend to be a little more personal.

Interesting thoughts and discussion – that is what I like to read in blog posts. Something that is rather thought-provoking. I’m not big into lists of answers and quick-fix solutions.

I also prefer blogs that tend to be a little more personal. Where some of the bloggers’ experiences and learnings come through.

Thanks for commenting!   @Vincent - Yeah I can think of plenty of times when I've read something and thought "oh yeah, I forgot about that!"   @Bunny - I'm like you where I have sites I read every day (like news etc), then I have ones I read every couple of days, and then ones I hit up once in a while... You're right in saying different people can get different things out of an article - what hits home for someone may be completely bland for someone else.... @Viriya – Hi, finding a balance is really a great way to approach things.

I have to say I have my favorite blogs that I read daily because the authors keep my genuine interest. As far as repetition goes.I feel very often when a subject is of interest and important to the writer,He/She is complied to get the point across. What people take away from an article - how they perceive it isn't always the same for each reader. Words are very powerful.

I don't read Zen Habits in depth because I believe like you that we need to take action. Reading is not acting. I scanned the post in Zen Habits for an inspiration. I always remind myself that the life I'm living is un-zen (in-zen, or insane or whatever! :)) and the posts always inspire me to live a better life. I'm not a self-help junkie but I love reading self-improvement (I prefer self-improvement to self-help) blogs for inspiration for a better life-style.
