“ ‘Life changing’ would be the short version. As far as personal development goes, this was explosive.” – Isaak, 30DLBL participant
“This experience was the most extraordinary, most rewarding thing I ever done and its results overcame all my expectations. THANK YOU.” – Andreea, 30DLBL participant
“Participating in this 30 Day challenge has been a really amazing experience and journey. In these 30 days, I have discovered and rediscovered myself on a new level, reached a new level of awareness, learned new things. The biggest thing for me is 30DLBL opened my eyes and mind in a new way, in more depth. You brought so many meaningful tasks in one place. They are all useful. The 30DLBL is over, but I view this challenge as the new beginning of my personal growth.” – Qin Tang, 30DLBL participant
Hey everyone! 😀
Many of you might recall our life changing challenge, 30 Days To Live a Better Life, which was conducted a few months ago at the blog. Over 1,200 participants signed up officially, plus more who participated on a passive basis. Every day for 30 days straight in September, we had to do the assigned task for the day, a task which would help us live a better life. The tasks were deep. They opened our eyes to a new part about ourselves. They required us to dig deep and discover ourselves on a whole new level.
Throughout the course of the challenge, many lives were changed, never to be the same again. Every participant who followed through the challenge emerged more conscious, directed and self-aware, all ready to take on the next stage in life.
Today, I’m proud to say that after weeks of hard work, the full 30DLBL program, complete with the guideboook, workbook and course portal access, is finally available for pre-order!! Now you can do 30DLBL by yourself or together with your friends and family, in your own time and place!
Check out the full scope of 30DLBL, complete with the program details, screenshots, testimonials, and purchase details, on the 30DLBL page.
Why Get 30DLBL
Whether you have done 30DLBL before or not, it’s a definite must-buy. 30DLBL is your critical tool to jumpstart your growth and discover yourself on a whole new level.
Those of you who have done and completed 30DLBL have gotten tremendous benefits in those 30 days. With the 30DLBL program, now you have all the tasks, tools and information in 1 handy book to guide you through the whole program. Not only that, the 30DLBL program is a life-time investment in itself. Each time you do it, you will discover new things about yourself. It’s a program that can be done every 6 months or a year, for the rest of your life, and you’ll always learn something new each time. This makes it one of the best personal growth investments you can ever make.
For those who did 30DLBL halfway and didn’t manage to complete it for some reason or another, it’s your perfect chance to get started again. With this book at hand, you can do 30DLBL no matter how busy you are, in your time and space (you can take 2 days per task, 3 days per task or even longer if needed), and there is absolutely no time rush.
If you have never done 30DLBL before, I invite you to join in on the 30DLBL journey. The results and experiences of the users do not lie. Also, with 2010 soon coming to a close, it’s a perfect chance to do the 30DLBL program in upcoming Dec (that’s next month!) and kick off 2011 on a huge start!
By the way, Christmas is coming soon and you might want to consider getting this as gift for friends and family. The experience this can bring for them is invaluable. Many have already told me that they’re planning to buy the 30DLBL program for their family and friends, and I believe it’ll be an exciting experience for them when they embark on 30DLBL themselves!
*Note that the 30DLBL material (both guidebook and workbook) will be in ebook form, pdf format. There isn’t a hard copy version as I’ve shared in the earlier update and in the forums.
I’ve spent a lot of time, effort and love into the 30DLBL program. I really love how it has turned out and I believe you’ll love it too. Please let me know how you find the book once you get it!
Surf over to the official 30DLBL page and get your copy there!

Hey Celes! Is the registration still open?
I enjoy your blog and the different things that you have to offer. I am interested in joining the December challenge. Will I still be able to if I purchase the book?
Hey Bert! Yes, registration for Dec 30DLBL is still open! I just mailed you the instructions – join us soon!
I WANT TO JOIN 30DLBL….PLZ MAIL ME DETAILS
Hi Mohit! 30DLBL is a self-administered 30-day program. Simply get the program at https://personalexcellence.co/30dlbl/#download and you can get started right away!
I’m just catching up on email and internet reading after taking on a new job. Can I still buy the book and join the December challenge? I haven’t read much of your blog, but I like what I see. Thanks.
Maripat
Yes of course Maripat! Please check your mail! :D
Will this ever be available as a hard copy? like a real book? Thanks!
Hey Meagan! There’s no hard copy as it doesn’t work out costs wise (there are 2 books, plus with bundling, the production costs are too steep). What’s happening is that readers who want the hard copy are getting the soft copy, then printing them out at the local stores at a low price. The quality may not be the same as actual book production quality, but they do a great job from what I hear!
Hi, if I order by Sunday 27Nov, will I get the book in time for the December 30 day private program?
Hey Adrian! The 30DLBL Books are ebooks so you’ll get them immediately once you make the order :) The download links are automatically sent to you within minutes of receiving your order.
Thanks, I should have read the whole posting in detail. only skimmed it previously. Sorry, will be ordering soon!
Got your order Adrian! Sign up for the Dec challenge here:

Hooray !!
Finally, PayPal allowed my transaction to go thru,
Celes, I’ve spoke to my friend about spending time together for 60min daily to craft our self.
It will be our gift to our self in 2011… looking forward for a massive leap in our personal excellence journey.
Cheers,
Ganeshmuthiah
:wink:
That’s fantastic Ganesh!! If you’re planning to do it before 2011, then you have to join the December 2011.. I’ll be holding a private 30DLBL for those who have got the book. I’ll posting an update on this soon on details. Stay tuned!!
Hi Celes
I cant see my country (Pakistan) in country list in order to create paypal account.
Is there any other alternate way to submit the payment?
Hey Ahmed! :D You don’t need to create a paypal account to get the book – Just use credit card option to pay directly. Let me know if you face any issues!
Hi Celes
I am still facing issues with that, I can only see paypal option in purchase page (either to create new account or log in with existing one).. could you please suggest an alternate way of the payment as time is running out ;)
Hope to read you soon.
Ahmed
Hey Ahmed! After you add the book to cart, click “checkout” button at the bottom. Then, you’ll be brought to the page where you can either pay by credit card or paypal.
https://personalexcellence.co/30dlbl/30dlbl_paypal.png (left column)
Just fill in your CC details on the left instead and you’ll get the book in a few minutes :D Let me know if it works!
Hey Celes
Thx for the quick response. Unfortunately its not showing my country (Pakistan) in the list.
http://b.imagehost.org/0874/payPal.png
Kindly suggest the alternate way for the payment. :(
Thanks
Ahmed
Hi Ahmed! Let me send you a mail to discuss this further. Thanks!
I’m sorry to say though I’m still on the fence as to whether or not I should buy your 30DLBL book :?: Can I ask what new tasks you’ve included and which have been removed? And are the templates files that we can fill out or PDF that need to be printed?
Hey Glenn! :D
The workbook is 100 pages long and both the pdf and word document are provided (.odt – LibreOffice that’s like MS Word – it’s free for download at http://www.documentfoundation.org/download/). That way you can choose whether to print or to fill it out in soft copy.
The new tasks cover a range of areas which were not touched on in the original 30dlbl, including lifestyle, diet, exercise (healthy living), our relationships and us, self-love, our networks & relation to our growth, etc. Ultimately I see the biggest value about the book is that it’s a boost up over the original program which is already impactful in itself (keeping what worked and making it even better), and the combination of the 211-page guidebook + the workbook makes it easy to do the program whenever and wherever you are.
Also, all future 30dlbls will be based on the 30dlbl in the book. These will be conducted in in a private basis for those in the 30dlbl circle (those who have gotten a copy of the book) and one can participate in the 30dlbls as many times as needed, for life. I’m likely organizing a new 30dlbl in Dec to round off 2010 on a big bang – so far response is very positive and I’ll be posting details soon.
Let me know if you’ve any more questions! :D
Alright, you’ve convinced me, I just bought :-)
Having all the tasks in one ebook and knowing what they are in advance should definitely make it easier than the first time around. Especially being able to plan in advance for upcoming tasks, and also only needing to revise those I’ve already completed.
By the way, LibreOffice I have not heard of before. It looks like Open Office that I have here. Are there any big differences?
Hey Glenn! Yes LibreOffice is just like OpenOffice – a lean version of it. It’s not bloated with macros like OO, and is much faster. I switched to it after OO files kept hanging and taking a long time to open. I think it’s in beta stage now and that’s why it’s not widely seeded yet. You should definitely check it out it! :D
Hi Celes, that’s good! Looks like I’ll be uninstalling the OO and replacing it with Libre :)
Also, I’m just browsing through the workbook now. Quite impressive! You’ve really thought this through and mapped everything out quite nicely. You don’t know if there’s any way of drawing lines on the life wheel in Libre Office? The workbook as a whole is probably a bit too much to print out, and I want to reduce my impact on the environment by adopting the soft approach whenever I can :) Although I guess I could just print out the life wheel.
By the way, I just sent you a facebook request from someone with a weird alien head, that’s me! :mrgreen:
Hey Glenn, glad to know you’re liking the workbook! :D :-D Yes, you can draw lines in Libre Office, just like OO. Simply use the draw tool (View->Toolbars->Drawing) and you’re all set to go.
LOL @ the alien head – I just added you! :D ♥
Thanks, I’ll give that a try! I rarely use office apps for much more than invoices and the occasional spreadsheet.
Thanks for the fb add too! That alien head was originally a photo of me, so it’s still me in a way 8)
Oh, and I managed around 4 or 5 acts of kindness today without really thinking about it :) Things I do nomally, but never gave them any thought until reading your 30DLBL article. I think it’s important to always be kind to people. Even in a restaurant when a meal is slow to arrive, that’s no reason to be rude to the waiter or waitress when it’s beyond their control, which is sadly something I notice a lot.
Aw that’s great Glenn! :D I think it’s amazing how a small act of kindness can impact someone else’s life in a big way. Just shows that nothing can ever be too small.
By the way, I just posted the Dec 30DLBL Challenge announcement! Do join in if you can! :D A number of the 30DLBL regulars have already expressed interest in joining via FB/Twitter (Andreea, Ish, Matt) and it’s going to be very exciting doing the challenge now with 30DLBL past graduates and with new members. If you can’t, it’s okay too! Plenty of 30DLBLs ahead to take part in :mrgreen:
Hi Celes,
Paypal requested to use different cards.
Anyways, i will try again this Wednesday.
Cheers,
Ganesh
Hi Celes,
I was there right after receiving your email trying to submit payment while Credit card.
It sends failure messages for both my card. Upon checking wiyh my banker.They claim paypal just tried to verify but did not submit for USD30 claim.
Very sad with the transaction experience. I missed the changes to get your previous book. :roll:
Anyway, do you have an alternative way to make payment ?
Looking forward to work on my personal excellence.
Cheers,
Ganesh
Hey Ganesh! Oh dear, that’s unfortunate :( Payment by a credit card or Paypal account are the 2 best options. Paypal method is to get a Paypal account, where you can directly withdraw money from your bank account. There you’ll have “cash” to make online purchases.
What’s the specific error you got with paypal? There have been many readers who have made the purchase yesterday and today with Paypal, with no problem. Let me know!
Hi Celes, I have just bought the book. Look forward to reading and working on it. :mrgreen:
Hey Imelda! I got your order – Thanks a lot for your support :D You’ll get your copy on 25 Nov – do let me know how it goes for you! :D
Hi Celes, are you able to provide a better price if we ordered both Personal Excellence Book and the 30DLBL Book together? Thanks! :lol:
Hey jm, thanks for your enquiry and interest! :D No bundle price unfortunately – the best prices are all on the site. If cashflow is a concern, I recommend you space out the orders (which is what one reader did) :D.
I like your book and hope to have one.
Hey Rudy, the pre-orders are live now so you can get your copy :D
hi celes :)
i want to buy your ebook,but i dont have credit card
how do i buy it?
thank you
Ângelo
Hey Angelo! Good to know it’s resolved on the card. You’ll get to download your copy on 25 Nov – Let me know how how your 30DLBL goes :D
Hi Celes,
Congrats about the launching of your book, I certanly give it a look, just 1 question ¿Are the same topics tha were covered in the 30 day challenge happened in Septmeber? ´cause if they are I think everybody should get a copy, is just one of the most valuable handwritten stuff that I´ve seen in a long time!!
See ya!
Francisco
Hi Francisco, thank you! :D Many of the topics will be inside of 30DLBL Book, with new tasks too. I have selected the best topics from the original 30DLBL, took out the ones which were not so useful (in comparison) and created 6 new tasks to complete the new 30DLBL.
Structurally it is similar to the original 30DLBL, but it has pretty much been a rewrite from start-to-finish, with task revisions, arrangements of tasks within 30DLBL to make it more coherent, more examples, more information (for example the task on Values now comes with a Values list of nearly 200 values, plus the gratitude task comes with a sample gratitude list too), so I highly recommend everyone get a copy. The addition of the workbook also makes it extremely easy to get going with the program. Not to mention it has a life-time value since it’s to be done over and over again. All future 30DLBL runs will be based on the one in the book.
Alrigth!!!
Love it Celes, awesome work, I can´t wait to see all the new features ´cause I have to be Honest, I think I could have done it better in September (I know I don´t have to be that perfectionist…..I´m working on it! hahahahaah :roll: ….
Second chance for me :-P
I´ll be in Brasil for work the day of the launch, so I´ll chek the timezones and everyhing.
Cool stuff Celes! Keep rocking it!!!
Francisco. :mrgreen:
Fantastic, thanks Francisco! :D I’m excited to hear your feedback when you get the book! Let me know if you have anymore questions! :mrgreen:
Celes, I remember following the blog with the 30 day challenge you had even though I didn’t officially participate (shame on me! :oops:) but I remember getting also the emails and they were full of amazing ideas….transformational really for a month of anyone’s life – so congratulations on this great book – the cover design and worksheets and the entire page layout is very appealing and the content looks FANTASTIC! I am very very excited for you and will be sharing this with my friends and peeps!!!
Thanks Farnoosh! I’m really very happy with how it turned out and I’m excited that it’s going live soon. Thanks for your support – I appreciate it!
It sounds like powerful stuff.
I’m a fan of monthly themes and picking a month to trade up for a better life seems like a perfect focus.
Thanks J.D. :D You’re right – the changes that will come from just the 1 month is incomparable, as the participants have attested to in the previous 30DLBL run. It’s quite amazing how much our lives can change in 30 days just by directing our efforts in the right places.
I’m with Deborah, I’d like to know how much it is going to cost so I can plan for this… :?:
Hey Heidi, thanks for your question! The listed price of the full program (main book together with workbook) is $45USD. As a special for tpeb readers, there will be a promotional offer of 30% off when it’s up for pre-order this Sunday, which will be approx $30~USD, so do grab your copy then :D
hi celes, i want to order your book but i dont have a credit card right now and i am ordering from saudi arabia. is there a way on how i can send the money to you for the book??? i am super excited to read it..=) thanks! :wink: :wink:
Hey lalaine! I just dropped you an email – let me know if you didn’t get it :D
hi celes,

Hey lalaine! Got your reply so I assume this comment is not relevant now :D Let me know which one works best for you :D
Oh, Celes! Congratulations on your book! I am sure that you’ve worked really hard to get this before December. Looking forward to having my hands on one. :mrgreen:
Thanks a lot Miss G! :D I’d love to hear your feedback after you get the book(s) (there’s going to be the guidebook and the workbook) :mrgreen: By the way, I hope all’s well at your side! ♥
Hi Celes..
It’s very wonderful that you have finished the 30DLBL book.. will buy it for sure :D

I am looking forward to your new book. Congratulations for completing this big project.
I assume you take credit card and I don’t need to have a paypal or other third party account.
Hi Qin Tang! I’m really glad and excited that the 30DLBL Book almost completed (I’m in amidst of finalizing the last parts of the book actually, which will be finished before the pre-order date). It turned out to be a much bigger project than I anticipated and I’m glad everything worked out the way it did :D
You’re right – credit cards will be accepted and there’s no need to have a paypal / third party account. :D
Hi Celes, wow the book looks great… I didn’t get to do 30DLBL earlier and have been waiting for your book to be out. Look forward to get a copy on Sunday :D
I am not seeing the price for your new book.
The listed price of the full program (main book together with workbook) is $45USD. As a special for tpeb readers, there will be a promotional offer of 30% off when it’s up for pre-order this Sunday, which will be approx $30~USD.
Hi Celes… great work… i am actually thinking you might not finish it by Dec as I read some of your posts… but this is really timely because i want to apply the 30DLBL before new year… like i want to be a NEWLY IMPROVED ME by Jan 1…

Keep up the good work…
Hey Mnemosyne, thanks so much for your support! It has been challenging as there’ve been a lot of other projects and engagements in the past 1-2 months, but I really wanted to get it out this month so a number of readers have said they wanted to get 30DLBL Book for their family / or do 30DLBL in December.

Hey Celeste! I am interested in getting a copy! If it’s an ebook for the workbook, how will we be writing our results on the daily tasks?
Hi Isabel! I’ll be sharing both the .odt (LibreOffice – free downloadable software like MS Word) and the .pdf version for the workbook. So for those who like to write their 30DLBL results in the computer, they can use the .doc version. If they prefer to write, they can easily print the .pdf. Hope that helps and let me know if you have any other questions! :D
Hey Nikki, thanks a lot for your support! Do let me know how you find the book after you get it :D
It looks great!! :-D Cant wait to buy it!! :) :-D
