Scott H Young

Scott is obsessed with personal development. For the last ten years, he's been experimenting to find out how to learn and think better.

My own journey with personal development has been both fun, challenging and always interesting. There were many moments when I was unsure what to do, lacking confidence in my abilities or even lacking the ability to imagine. Building strength where I saw weakness I slowly shaped a quality of life I now enjoy. Where I saw fear I instilled courage. Where I saw sloth and weakness I put productivity and discipline. Where I saw pain I placed joy. When I started to see my life grow, I couldn’t get enough. I built an incredible momentum. From then on I had a compelling obsession with personal development. At the age of seventeen, I started my website with the goal to expand my obsession with getting the most out of my life and the lives of anyone I can come in contact with.
