Diggy of Upgrade Reality has released a free eBook called “YOU Version 2.0.”  In this eBook, Diggy offers “117 proven tips you can use immediately to change your life.  For good.”  I double checked his math, and he does indeed offer 117 tips.

You 2.0 reads like a series of blog posts.  Each chapter covers a number of suggestions to improve yourself in various areas of your life.  He covers creativity, productivity, health, happiness, money, first impressions, and a bunch of reasons why life is awesome.  I get the feeling that some of this content may have come from his blog.  Even so, the topics he has chosen flow very well together, making the content very cohesive.

As I started to read You 2.0, I really felt that Diggy wanted to help me make improvements in my life.  He begins with a great introduction of himself, which I find helpful in a personal development eBook.  I like to know a little about the person who is giving me advice.  That is actually one of the great things about reading eBooks by bloggers, is that most of the time I feel like I already know the author from reading his blog.  Diggy doesn’t assume that you already know him, however, and smartly starts off with a good introduction and a little background.

Overview of topics

• 3 Ways To Take Control Of Your Life Right Now.
• 15 Ways To Boost Your Creativity.
• 6 Simple Steps To A More Efficient Day.
• 8 Tips For Living Healthy With Ease.
• 15 Ways To Cheer You Up When You Feel Down.
• 23 Creative Ways To Make Extra Money.
• 14 Sweet Tips For Making A Good Impression.
• 33 Beautiful Reasons Why Life Is Awsome.

A message from Diggy, author of You 2.0:

The purpose of ‘YOU – Version2.0′ is to remind you of the many things that you already know but forget to apply in order to live your life to the fullest. I have also tried my best to give you new ways that you can use to improve your life or make some positive changes. Even if there is only one golden nugget of knowledge or one paragraph in the entire eBook that will have a positive impact on you, then I am happy!

Price/Value

Free.  He does ask you to subscribe to his blog, but as of the time of this review he’s not requiring it.  If you are going to download the free eBook, I recommend subscribing as a thank you to Diggy for providing this great eBook free of charge.

What’s Included

Just the eBook

Pluses

• Lots of great content.
• Easy to read.
• Uses a popular “list” format.
• I get the feeling the author cares about making a positive impact on my life.
• Great cover design.
• It’s free.

Minuses

• He includes some URL shortened links in the eBook to link to some websites.  I generally don’t like the use of URL shorteners as they mask the destination website, and makes me think the author may be hiding something.  I don’t think that’s the case here, but I’d still prefer to see the full url included in the links.
• This is a borderline minus, and I actually included it in the plus section too as some folks like it.  I’m not a big fan of the “list” type of format, although Diggy pulls it off better than most I’ve seen, and he includes a good introduction before each list.

Rating

I give this eBook 4 stars.  It’s a very good eBook and has lots of great content.  As the author admits, much of it I’ve seen before, but it’s a great reminder on those things, plus I found a few tidbits I hadn’t considered before.  The format is easy to read.  One thing I really like about this eBook is that it’s very inspiring.  I feel like I could pick it up and jump to a chapter when I’m feeling a little down, and get a small kick of inspiration to help me feel better.  This eBook is free, so head on over to Upgrade Reality and download your copy today.
