The most successful people are always looking for ways to improve. They aren’t satisfied with accepting their shortcomings or resting on their laurels. Top achievers put time and energy into being their best self.
In the past The ONE Thing team has shared our favorite spiritual blogs and personal finance blogs, and today we’re sharing our top picks for personal improvement blogs.
Mark Manson
With two million monthly readers, it’s clear Mark Manson is making an impact. His blog is visually stunning, and its tongue-in-cheek, edgy writing style has a bite that sinks in. We also really like that the synopsis of each post includes an estimated reading time so you know if it’s a quick read or one to bookmark for later.

Marie Forleo
When you get Oprah’s seal of approval the whole world is going to pay attention. In just a few years Marie Forleo has become the go-to guru for helping people tap into their unique talents.
