How to Overcome Depression

Steve Pavlina is widely recognized as one of the most successful personal development bloggers on the Internet, with his work attracting more than 100 million visits to his website, StevePavlina.com. He has written more than 1300 articles and recorded many audio programs on a broad range of self-help topics, including productivity, relationships, and spirituality. Steve has been quoted as an expert by the New York Times, USA Today, U.S. News & World Report, the Los Angeles Daily News, Self Magazine, The Guardian, and countless other publications.

By giving away his best ideas for free, Steve created one of the most popular personal development websites in the world without spending a dime on marketing or promotion. In 2010 he took the extra step of uncopyrighting his articles, podcasts, and videos and donating them to the public domain. Consequently, many people have republished Steve's work in different forms, translated his work into other languages, compiled his work into dozens of new books, and incorporated his work into their training programs.
