This is my roundup of top blogs for insight and action.
The Web is a big place, but a lot of roads lead to the same town.
In the spirit of insight and action, I want to share some of the best blogs on the Web that help you get better, smarter, and faster in key areas of your life.
Sites that Make Us Think
For this list, I looked to people, blogs, and sites that really make us think, surprise us with insight, and share news we can use (or make us laugh, cry, or feel alive..) Many of the authors are people with a passion for more from life.
Collectively, this collection of top blogs helps equip you with “skills to pay the bills and lead a better life.” You’ll find it’s a mash up. The mix includes: business skills, continuous learning, entrepreneurism, fun, leadership, personal development, productivity, strategy, technology, thinking skills, and trends.
I believe these are the sites that truly help you get the edge in work and life. It’s a living list of top blogs, and I will update it from time to time.

@ David — Thank you. So many of these authors and sites do a great job of keeping it fresh, and keeping it real.
Yes, insight is one thing, action is another.

Cheers!
