The podcasts not to be missed if you are a self-improvement enthusiast or… just want to listen to something interesting on your iPod.
Do you know why I bought my first iPod (assuming you care)? Why is it a cool object ?! Perhaps. Why is it practical and easy to use? Yes why not. But the real reason I bought my first Apple player is another: i podcast.
And what are these podcasti ?! Podcasts are free audio (or video) files in installments, covering hundreds of different topics: there are podcasts on finance, comic podcasts, podcasts with real lessons from the most important universities in the world and ... there are personal growth podcasts.
But why should you listen to a personal growth podcast?
- To make the most of yours dead times. By listening to these little audiobooks, you can turn a mail queue into a moment of learning and personal development.
- To learn a new language. Most personal growth podcasts are in English (won't you tell me you've already given up ?!). Listening to them daily, in addition to enriching your knowledge, allows you to improve your ability to listen to the English language.
- To find the daily motivation. Most of our daily motivation is related to the first actions we take as soon as we wake up. Starting the day with a motivating podcast can be the key to tackling daily challenges.

His podcast hasn't been updated lately, but I recommend that you listen to all 35 episodes released so far. You can find more material on Robin Sharma's official website.
