Welcome to Precision Change, a new blog about technologies of transformation, from personal productivity to personal power, mastery to meditation, self-development to self-transcendence.
Unlike other blog sites that recycle tired old aphorisms and over-generalizations, we will focus on precise, practical ways to bring about change using the richest and deepest models available, backed by real experience. We will wrestle with complex issues while keeping it simple.
Think of it as personal development 201.
We’re new, so subscribe to the feed now and have the latest articles served piping hot to your feed reader or email inbox so you won’t miss anything.
And pardon our mess while we finish designing the site.
Why precision?
Many people (including the authors) often find self-help literature distasteful due to exaggerated claims and over-generalizations. Claims of “unlimited power” or “it works every time” feel exciting, yet disingenuous, and ultimately create distrust when the techniques don’t in fact produce unlimited power or work every time.
What does work? Personally I’ve found that precision is a major key to success in effective change. Enthusiasm ultimately wanes, but a focus on specific strategies that work in specific contexts can be extremely powerful. And yes, you can change nearly everything in your life. Your innate potential is tremendous (but not unlimited).
Who’s behind this?
Precision Change was dreamed up by life coach and podcast producer Duff McDuffee after getting prodded by friend and fellow fruit Vincent Horn to (finally) start his own blog site.
Quickly the idea morphed into a group blog with Vince and Ryan Oelke (also a fruit), mostly because I’ve never been able to keep up a consistent blog schedule alone.
Ok, Ryan and Vince are also both excellent bloggers and good friends, having started the popular blog and podcast Buddhist Geeks, which evolved into the podcast network Falling Fruit TV where we now all work. I love my job–without these two Buddhist geeks, I’d be out on the street begging for life coaching clients.
I hope you enjoy our writing and audio. Please join the dialogue by commenting on our posts, subscribing to our feed, and if you like our stuff, submitting our posts to Digg.com, del.icio.us, and StumbleUpon.
