The 21 Best Personal Development And Success Blogs You NEED To Be Reading in 2023
If you have done a Google search for 'Best Personal Development Blogs' no doubt you have come across many blogs on the subject already - maybe even this one, you lucky devil you!
What even is a personal development blog?
A personal development blog is a type of online resource that provides information and advice on topics related to personal growth and self-improvement. Blogs often cover a wide range of topics, including productivity, relationships, career development, and overall wellness.
For us here at Success is the only option, we are all about sharing our experiences from both successes and failures, to help you find your version of success!
Personal development blogs may be written by experts or professionals in a particular field, or by individuals who have personal experience and insights to share.
The goal of these blogs is to provide readers with valuable information and strategies for improving their lives and achieving their goals.
So Like, Why You Should Read Personal Development Blogs?
It's always a good idea to be a student of many, rather than a follower of one - that way you get to explore various perspectives of a given topic rather than just one person's opinion, from which you can then form your own ideas and opinions.
Reading personal development blogs can be a great way to learn new strategies and techniques for improving your life and reaching your goals. Here are a few reasons why you might want to consider reading personal development blogs:
- Personal development blogs can provide valuable insights and practical advice on a wide range of topics, such as productivity, relationships, career development, and self-improvement.
- These blogs can help you stay motivated and inspired to work towards your goals, as they often feature stories of people who have overcome challenges and achieved success in their own lives.
- Reading personal development blogs can help you gain a new perspective on your own life and challenges, and can provide you with new ideas and strategies for tackling them.
- These blogs can also be a great source of support and community, as they often allow readers to leave comments and engage in discussions with other readers.
Overall, reading personal development blogs can be a great way to learn, grow, and improve yourself, and can help you become the best version of yourself.
That being said, there are many great blogs out there with great content that could benefit you and provide you with that idea or technique you need to get to that next level in life - but how do you find the good ones?
Not to worry, I've got your back with that one!

What I love about this blog is the Strive Stories section - success leaves clues, and these guys have put together an awesome collection of success stories from some of the most well known and influential people on the planet today.
Wealthy Gorilla has some amazing inspirational content which, in it's own words, aims to motivate and inspire people around the world, regardless of where they come from or who they want to become.
What I love about Wealthy Gorilla is their unique focus on success achievements, from their richest people list to celebrity net worths, the most expensive section is an eye opener too!

Life Hack is a great resource to help you find your purpose and life your best life, with a tonne of content to help you overcome just about any limitation you can think of, as well as hacks for simplifying processes that may at first seem daunting.
What I love about Life Hack is their vast content library! These guys have a seemingly endless amount of content from everything from career success, to mental wellness and parenting
This site is an amazing tool for all things mental health related, and even has a mental health A-Z section which covers just about everything you can think of on the topic. Their goal is to help you prioritise your mental health and find balance... a worthy cause I'd say.
What I love about very well mind though is the fact that it's articles are reviewed by their board of medical experts, making it a great source of reliable information, and not just some made up fluff!
This is the blog of a guy called Henrik Edberg from Sweden - I don't know Henrik, but I feel a sort of affinity with him since his blog is so personal and based on his own experiences in life and his learnings along the way, which is pretty much the same place I come from when creating my content.
What I love about Positivity Blog is it's clean, simple layout and honest, personal and well-thought content of around 500 blog posts!.
Mindsetopia tackles all things success - from it's launch in 2019 this blog has become a staple personal development blog that will come up in any google search on the subject!
What I love about it is it covers all the key areas you would expect from a blog focussing on personal development and success, from Mindset to Business and Motivation.
This blog is all about mindfulness, it covers meditation, journaling, affirmations and the likes, which I believe is super important for anyone looking to improve themselves and achieve success.
What I love about Happier Human is their well structured articles - not only do they give some top tips, but at least for me, I like it when a piece of writing is well structured, and these guys do not disappoint!

If you have read my blog 'The First Key To Success - Know Your Purpose In Life', then you will know how powerful this is and how it is crucial for building a successful life. I love the fact that Coley has dedicated her blog to this!
11. grandhabit.com
Grand Habit is a great personal development blog by Steve Allen, and what is great about it is that it all stems around Steve's own journey of self doubt, depression and anxiety, and how he overcame it all through putting into practice what he learnt from through personal development - which shows that this stuff works!
Less about personal development and more about making money, but I really love the easy to follow content which provides mega value on how you can start making money with a side hustle and grow it into a business.
I love this because, at least for me, because of my life experiences a big part of success has always been measured in terms of money in the bank [But it's not everything!]. So many people struggle to get by on a day to day basis, but it shows anyone can do it as there are so many opportunities available.
13. lavendaire.com
Having a focused mind and clear goals can help you to live the life of your dreams, and that is what Lavendaire is all about - lifestyle design.
Despite my previous comment about focusing on 'money in the bank', it really isn't the only thing to measure success by, so I am finding out... Having the freedom to live your life on your terms is f-uge, and that is something that Aileen has accomplished after originally feeling like a failure because she didn't measure up to the normal social classifications of what success looked like.
Joel Brown is one of the big hitters in the personal development and success space. He started Addicted2success back in 2011 and has grown it into the authority that it is today.
I love this blog because it is all encompassing - because it has been around so long it has matured into various topics around success, investing, business and more, with a real focus on achieving success no matter what.
15. impacttheory.com
More Vlog than Blog, Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory has some amazing education yet entertaining content designed to 'pull you out of the matrix... by empowering your mindset'.
And it does not disappoint...
I have been a follower of Tom and his content for years and have taken some great value from what he puts out, with interviews with Ray Dalio giving economic advice, Jordan B. Peterson on changing your mindset and Alex Hormozi on building a business to name a few, there are more than a few golden nuggets to be scribbling down.
16. zenhabits.net
No list would be complete without Leo Babauta's Zen Habits blog - not only is it one of the best personal development blogs around, but this guys has been around since 2006 spitting words of wisdom on how to find inner peace in a hectic world.
