Upgrade Reality is a personal development eBook by Dirk de Bruin. You probably know him as Diggy. He authors the very popular blog Upgrade Reality and has released a new eBook by the same name. He really went all out on this eBook and compiled all the best lessons he has learned in life.
Diggy has a rather non-traditional rise to success. He finished high school a year early at 16, co-owned a supermarket with his dad at 17, learned forex trading at 20, and now he’s sharing his passion for personal development with thousands of people around the globe through his blog Upgrade Reality.
In Upgrade Reality, Diggy covers a wide range of topics, but all with a central theme of upgrading your own reality; that is, making your life the best it can be. One of the great things about this eBook is that it is well rounded, focusing on a number of different areas of life. Diggy draws from his own experience and really put a lot of thought into all the area in life that he has sought to improve.
Overview of topics
Diggy really filled Upgrade Reality with a full range of content covering all facets of personal development. He covers Achievement & Success, Productivity, Confidence & Self-Esteem, Business, Body & Mind, and People & Relationships.

The 122 page eBook
Pluses
- A wealth of personal development information
- A completeness of topics that touch on many facets of life and personal growth
- Great organization of topics and well written
- Leading by example, Diggy includes many personal examples
- Excellent design and layout
Minuses
Only one minus, and it’s just a pet peeve of mine. He uses URL shorteners in the links, so I can see where the link is actually pointing.
Rating
5 stars. Upgrade Reality is fantastic. The thing I like most is its completeness. Diggy really made a strong effort to cover a full range of topics to make for a well rounded look at personal development. Upgrade Reality is a 122 page eBook that is really more like 244 pages since the layout essentially has two pages per printed page. That is 244 pages completely full of super content. I would love to see something like this taught in school. Upgrade Reality would be a perfect fit in a high school class, where instead of theoretical concepts, you could get some stuff to really apply in life. Content to make your life better, to motivate, and to inspire confidence. It’s the kind of content that would really make a difference in life.
To be clear, when I say it would be great for high school students, it’s because I think that’s the best starting point to be armed with the kind of information Diggy includes in Upgrade Reality. It’s definitely not the only starting point though. I’m 35 years old and I still found a wealth of information that I can apply in my own life. Upgrade Reality is a fantastic eBook, and its content would be equally at home in a real published book. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Upgrade Reality make the transition from eBook to published book. It’s really that good.
Check it out for yourself. Click the Order Now button to head over to Upgrade Reality to read what Diggy has to say, what others are saying, and to purchase a copy for yourself.

I’ve been seeing a lot of 7 Link Challenges around various personal development blogs. I also just added my own. The idea originated from a post on Problogger, and everyone is really jumping into this one. It really took off on Personal Development blogs when Dragos Roua challenged some of his fellow bloggers to participate. The result is a wealth of fantastic posts.
I am finding so much great info from these posts that I wanted a way to share them with everyone. I’m creating an index here for Personal Development bloggers that are participating in the 7 Link Challenge. Follow these links and get ready to spend some time reading a wealth of absolutely fantastic content.

This 7 link challenge has been making it’s way around various blogs, and it looks fun, so I’m going to jump into the fray. The idea is that I share 7 links on various key highlights of my blog. Read on and you’ll get the idea.
My Very First Day
Eden Journal – A New Blog About our Path in Life. My first post was to introduce me and what I planned to write about. I’m still roughly following the original plan. Over time I have come to see the direction I hope to follow, and in the coming days I’m going to announce a new clarity of vision.
How I Learned the Lesson of Hakuna Matta ”No Worries.” I also want to highlight my second post which is my first real “blog” post. This has proven to be a popular post, and Google sends me a number of visitors on this one.
The Post I Enjoyed Writing the Most
The Open Mind Test Series. It’s hard to pick my favorite post to write. I really like some of my story posts, but I think the Open Mind series was the most rewarding and most closely aligns with my personal philosophy and the philosophy of Eden Journal.
Post Which Had the Most Discussion
The Day I was Laid Off was the Best Day of My Life. This was one of my early posts, and it came shortly after I returned to work. That was a good time for me to look back on the time I spent unemployed. I really missed the time at home with my family when I returned to work.
The Post on Someone Else’s Blog that I Wish I had Written
How To Have Tourette’s Part 7: No Excuses. I really don’t have any post I wish I had written. I figure that no matter what the post, it would be different if I wrote it, so no sense thinking about it. I am adding this post though, because it’s the one that touched me the most. It’s raw and honest and shows a side that most bloggers aren’t brave enough to share.
My Most Helpful Post
Sleep… How I Learned to Fall Asleep Fast, and You Can Too! This post details the steps I took to learn to fall asleep fast. It’s been linked from a few different places and get’s a bit of traffic from Google.
The Post With a Title I’m Most Proud Of
There’s a Turd in my Nest. Really, how can you not read a post with a title like that. This one was my first attempt at poetry, or at the very least a Dr. Seuss like rhyme. The funny thing about this title, is how it came about. I was listening to the radio, half daydreaming as I drove to work. I think I pieced together a couple of conversations on the radio and pulled them into a daydream where I thought I heard them talking about a turd in a nest. It sounded weird enough to make a good title, and then I created the post around that title.
A Post I Wish More People had Read
A Choice and a Purpose; Entering this Earthly Realm. This is a story I wrote about life before birth. It’s a topic on which little is really known, so I gathered the info that I had at hand, and added that to what felt right to me to compose this post.
