On October 31, 2006, Steve Pavlina closed Dexterity Software and retired from game development in order to focus on a web site and blog dedicated to personal development, StevePavlina.com.
StevePavlina.com
Steve's blog covers topics such as personal development and success; consciousness and courage; productivity, motivation and goal setting; career, wealth and business; and spirituality. Some of his most popular writing is around lifestyle experimentation, where Steve will try a different style of living and transparently blog about the day-to-day experience. His most famous experiment in this regard is with polyphasic sleep, with a related article on early rising appearing in the the British newspaper The Guardian.
After being arrested for grand theft in Sacramento, CA and given 60 hours of community service, Steve claims that this was the impetus he needed to turn his life around. He claims to have earned two college degrees in three semesters from California State University, Northridge - he says that he partly achieved this by attending a college that was generous in awarding advanced placement credits for courses he had taken in high school, thus reducing his required course..
Steve added a public forum to his website in 2006 where readers can post about a myriad of personal development subjects.
