WELCOME TO MIND MEDIA -- HOME OF PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT ON THE WEB
by Bruce Ehrlich, Founder of the Mindware Catalog
This is a special issue of the Mindware Review. The Mindware
Review is one of the longest running Internet newsletters --
having sent out its first issue to subscribers in early 1995. The
publication is written by the Mind Media staff and is sent to a
subscriber list which has now grown to over 100,000. I am sending
it to you because you visited Mind Media Life-Enhancment Network
so I know you are interested in what I call
Mindware. Please excuse me if I sent it to you in error,
Mind Media Review is about "Mindware" -- a term I coined back in
1988 to describe software that I had been collecting while I was
finishing my doctorate in P.M. Actually, just when I was going to
write my dissertation, I decided to start a small "side-business"
called the Mindware catalog. The 32 page color catalog grew from a
circulation of 5000 for issue mailed out in the spring of '88 to
500,000 mailed in the summer of 1994 -- our last issue.
In a strange twist, the first issue of the Mindware catalog was
called The Mindware Review -- which was the hot idea of a
marketing company I had hired to put out the first issue. When I
found out I could print 50,000 catalogs for about twice as much as
5,000, I left that company and found a local designer named Scott
Sandow who was a great layout artist but an also had been in
business and marketing his entire life. As someone who had come
from Grad School (I didn't know the difference between an invoice
and a purchase order), I was glad to have him spend hours with me
figuring out what this mindware thing was all about and who would
be interested in using it.
This is an excerpt from the "Letter from the President" from that
second Mindware catalog.
"Welcome to Mindware! An extra dimension has been
added to your personal computer with the arrival of a new
genre of software we call mind appliances. These mind
appliances cover many areas but share a common purpose:
the enhancement of human intelligence in all its aspects -
- and so our name became,"Mindware."
Mindware was conceived and created to be more than a
business in the normal sense. We sincerely believe that
anyone can benefit from this new relationship between computers
and the mind!
By the time we had grown to half a million catalogs, we were the
first catalog to have sold a CD-ROM drive along with CD-ROMs to
play in them and also the first to sell voice recognition
software. In a sense, we were kind of a "Sharper Image" of
computer software as well as a self- improvement catalog.
One half-million catalogs costs a lot to mail. Our post office
bill was so large, I thought we should be given red carpet
treatment at the post office -- but we had to stand in line like
everyone else. Our team at Mindware was always dreaming of
starting something like America Online or even to be given a
section of AOL or than equally prominent CompuServe in order to
replace or at least supplement the catalog.
My main assistant at the time,Thad Atkins had a couple of friends
who were starting a company to do catalogs on something called the
World Wide Web. When I ordered an ISDN line and started browsing,
I was sure that this was where I wanted real estate. So as the web
began to become more than just a place for scientists, we were one
of the earliest online. Our first web site was at mindware.com but
we decided to create a larger site called the Mind Media Life-
Enhancement Network so that we could feature more than just the
Mindware Catalog Online.
In 1995, we stopped printing catalogs and went entirely online.
The same year, I came out with the first email edition of the
Mindware Review. At the time there were only about a hundred
online newsletters and so were actually read and even enjoyed (I
got a lot of email asking questions when I wrote something which
is how I know).
But by the end of the decade, the Internet revolution occurred --
which actually made it more difficult for us in many ways. All of
the good programmers and web artists were suddenly working for
large corporations that formerly only had stores and advertised on
TV. Search engines were selling ranking -- and we didn't have the
money to pay. From less than twenty online catalogs that were
around when we started, now there were 200,000. Many of them
started what became known as the "dot comers" -- people who had
made money in other businesses and now were getting Venture
Capital which allowed them to out spend us by huge factors.
Perhaps the one of the strangest stories of my twelve years in the
computer human potential business was an event that took place in
the fall of 1999. It was right in the middle of the Internet boom
-- when you drove through Silicon Valley and saw billboards from
VC companies. A woman called me. She told me that she had an
online art gallery but that her first love was personal
development -- the kind of products and services that we provide.
She then told me she represented someone in the "self-help" field
whose name I would instantly recognize. He had acquired a publicly
traded shell (a stock in which the company no longer exists but
which is still listed on a stock exchange -- a fast way of raising
public money is to buy one of these "shells" and put your company
and a few others together into it.).
She was looking for a few good personal development sites which
you could join together under this self-improvement figure. At one
point, she had me on the line with a gentleman who asked me what
my gross sales were. He had seen my business plan, which is posted
on our web site and mistakenly took our projections based on one
million dollars investment as our current earnings. When he found
out we weren't making the projected figure, he hurriedly got off
the phone.
Who was the mysterious man? A few months afterward, Anthony
Robbins launched his high-profile web site -- Dreamlife.com. And
here is an excerpt from a January 10, 2000 Newsweek Magazine
(International Edition) --
http://www.rickross.com/reference/general/general162.html --
article:
"This much is clear: if success is the goal, the gurus
have found it. Anthony Robbins leads the pack. Of all the
gurus, he's most focused on the Net. Last summer Robbins
took control of a publicly traded shell company whose
stock cost just pennies a share and announced plans to
build a self- improvement Web site, Dreamlife.com. The
site still isn't operational, but investors don't seem to
mind. Last week its stock stood at $16 a share,
putting Robbins's stake at more than $300 million."
Well Robbins site was slick and "did everything right" -- from
personalized membership to an online interactive tutorial which
identified the parts of life that needed improvement, complete
with Tony Robbins voice and picture to guide you. I joined the
site and was bombarded with Newsletters on a daily basis.
Now in one of the business plans I wrote, before the Internet
became so fashionable -- I suggested that Mind Media approach
individuals such a Robbins, Deepak Chopra
Stephen Covey. In "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, and
John Gray, the former Hindu monk from right here in Mind Media
Country, Santa Cruz, California -- who wrote "Men Are From Mars,
Women Are From Venus," with the idea of Mind Media using its
expertise to give them a web presence. So when the VC money flowed
like wine and all of the big guys jumped aboard, little Mind Media
remained pretty much a slowly evolving web organism as it always
had been.
Well in mid-2001, a year after its launch, Dreamlife.com was
dead. And Mind Media is still here.. Back in 1990, one of the
software publishers I featured on in the Mindware Catalog, Bert
Shaw, sent me this quotation which still hands on my bulletin
board.
"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful
men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is
almost a proconservation alone will not; the world is full
of educated derelicts."
The saying had nobody it was attributed to, so I decided to look
it up on the web as I was wring this, I found out it was said by
good old "Silent" Calvin Coolidge himself, so I thought about
taking it down since he doesn't have much of a reputation] as he
had articulated an idea missed by many in the trendy self-
improvement arena.
So this special issue is dedicated to the future of what I called
Mindware back in 1988. Its come a long way. In this issue, I'll
start with three free programs we give away on our site. Then I'm
going to take sections of two previous issues to introduce you to
five great downloads on the Web (not on our site) and five of the
best of the online applications And finally I'll put in a plug for
five of my favorite Mind Media Products.
So I'm still carrying the torch Mindware. My dream is to make
our West into a portal dedicated to the use of computers
as mind appliances -- for individual success and personal development
and the enhancement of the diverse aspects of human intelligence.
How is that for perseverance?

THREE FREE SOFTWARE DOWNLOADS YOU THAT MAY CHANGE YOUR LIFE
Here are three free software give-always from mind media They
all can be found on our "Specials Page"
http://www.mindmedia.com/specials.html.
1) The first is the ever-popular Mindviewer -- a very close
follow up to the original Mind Prober which was published in the
mid-1980's:
MINDVIEWER GIVES YOU X-RAY VISION INTO ANYONE'S HIDDEN
PERSONALITY AND PRIVATE FANTASIES
"Gain the advantage in personal and business relationships Reveals
the secrets of winning people's trust Developed by an eminent team
of psychologists "I was impressed by the reports it produced. In
fact, I thought it pegged me pretty darn close to how I perceive
myself. After showing the reports to a couple of close (and I mean
close) friends, they agreed with Mindviewer's analysis completely.
Of course I clipped out the section "Top Secret Sex Fantasies." --
Ron Albright, Computer Shopper
Uncover anyone's hidden personality with the best-selling self-
improvement program of all time. After using Mindviewer, you will
feel like you have x- ray vision into parts of people that
normally they can keep hidden.
People hide behind masks. With Mindviewer, you gain accurate
insight into the true nature of your friends, family, employees,
associates. Find out what makes them tick, what gets them angry--
even how to shape their behavior.
Developed by Drs. James and Kathy Johnson, a renowned husband/wife
psychologist team, the program is both entertaining and
enlightening. And its analysis hits home in a big way.
Using the program is simple, yet the complex psychometric
equations taken from personality psychology make the program
uncannily accurate. Mindviewer asks you a series of multiple-
choice questions about yourself or someone you wish to know
better. Then you get a detailed profile of your subject, which can
be viewed on the screen or printed as a detailed 3-5 page report
custom-generated from the results. Run Mindviewer on your best
friends and see if you get some new angle on them. Run Mindviewer
on your boss for advice on important matters like how to get that
raise or next promotion. Or try the program on your spouse or
lover to reveal some hidden fantasies that just might warm up your
relationship.
You'll have fun finding out what Mindviewer can do for you! A free
download at download at http://www.mindmedia.com/mv.com
2) Another of our featured downloads is called Brainworks and it
helps you determine which hemisphere of the brain you use --left
or right or perhaps a bit of both.
WHAT BRAIN HEMISPHERE DO YOU PREFER? ARE YOU MORE VISUAL OR
AUDITORY? DISCOVER YOUR PERSONALITY STYLE
Do you know whether you prefer your left hemisphere or your right
hemisphere? When you think, do you think visually or in sounds?
The answer to these two key questions can unlock important secrets
to your personality. Secrets, which can give help you to become
more successful and effective in everything that you do.
Mind Media Life Enhancement Network is pleased to give you, for a
limited time, Brain Works, a simple to use software program which
answer the two questions we asked at the beginning, and then give
you much more. You'll get a complete report which you can read on
screen or print, how your unique preferences for right or left
hemisphere and for visual or auditory thinking styles make up your
unique personality style. But more important, you'll get guidance
and important tips on how you can be more effective in your
learning, in relating to others and in achieving your goals with
maximum success.
When you download Brain Works, you get a free subscription to Mind
Media Review Newsletter with information on the cutting edge
software, CD-ROMs and new technologies in computers and the mind.
Back issues of this important publication are available on our

The questionnaire is visual, short and fun. And you never get the
same set of questions twice. The report invaluable! Print it out
and keep it for future reverence. For a limited time only, Mind
Media Life Enhancement Network presents Brain Work, a revealing
mind revealing software program absolutely FREE! Download it now

The last is called IQ Smarts and it gives you four IQ scores
instead of one and helps you build your IQ by several points -- up
to 15 says the publishers.
TURBOCHARGE YOUR BRAIN WITH IQ SMARTS MEASURE YOUR IQ - THEN RAISE
IT DRAMATICALLY RAISE YOUR IQ BY 15 POINTS OR MORE
Discover your hidden strengths At last, here is a computer program
that can not only measures your IQ, and whether you are left or
right brained-- it actually raises your IQ. And it will raise it
not just a tiny amount but to a dimension that you never dreamed

James Johnson -- founder of the pioneer Human Edge Software --
comes IQ SMARTS, dramatic new advance intelligence.
The software is based on major breakthroughs in the brain
sciences. You?ll get exercises specially designed to develop your
brain the same way aerobics, Nautilus, and other fitness programs
have given us the ability to develop our body. Until now, these
exercises have been available only from professionals with
programs costing many thousands of dollars. Now these life-
changing exercises are available with IQ SMARTS. IQ SMARTS begins
by measuring all aspects of your intelligence through a short
test. In the multi-page report you print out, you are told:
Your overall IQ score Your "common sense" intelligence IQ score

FIVE SOFTWARE DOWNLOAD WEB SITES WORTH HAVING ON YOUR HARD DRIVE
If you're at all like me, you love to download and try new
software. However as you might have discovered, you only really
find a few programs that you continue using and want to keep on
your hard drive. Today, I'm going to show some of the programs
that I kept on my computer.
In addition to being winners, I have tried to choose programs from
a variety of different sub-categories of the genre that I call
"mindware." They are all worth a download.
1. http://www.goalpro.com/index.cfm?ID=50571 The people who
publish GoalPro 5.0 calls it "The most effective success-
management application available" and the funny thing is -- they
may be right! I've been working on a special feature article
covering my personal search trying to find the perfect program or
combination of programs to accomplish the increasingly difficult
task of managing my personal information. And GoalPro software in
tandem with Microsoft Outlook is the combo that I use.
But you don't have to use GoalPro on a PC. The people at GoalPro
have kept up with the state-of-the-art and are offering GoalPro
with most of its features intact as an on-line application. So
Macintosh and Linux users as well as anyone who has access to the
web can begin using GoalPro right now.
What does the program do? Well it's hard to describe all of what
it does briefly and so next month this publication will have a
feature length review of GoalPro. In summary, it guides you
through the process of listing and clarifying your most important
life objectives. You a set of concrete goals to reach each of
these objectives and also create short term tasks for reaching the
objectives and goals.
The program not only helps you create your "success tree" of
objectives, goals and tasks, it sets up a regular daily and
separate weekend routine where you visit these lists and determine
how you are doing. This is called Success Coach and it's pretty
darn useful. There's even a past-due management system where
people who set too many tasks or procrastinate -- - people such as
myself -- can evaluate and reschedule missed deadlines. Download a
free thirty-day trial -- you might want to keep using it.
2. http://www.store-mindjet.com/affiliate.cfm?aff=PEZEVOBFQNFJ A
mind map is a visual representation of the relationship between
related ideas. The typical map starts with a central idea, word or
concept. Then, around the central word you draw five to ten main
ideas that relate to that word. You then take each of those child
words and again draw the five to ten main ideas that relate to
each of those words until you have an excellent visual model of
the idea you are trying to understand or express.
MindManager 3.7 is perhaps the best tool for creating mind-maps
that has yet been devised, Whether you're trying to solve a
problem, prioritize your daily activities, organize multiple
projects or make a simple to-do list, MindManager will help.
Here's some of the wide range of uses for the program: you can
prepare speeches and presentations quickly and easily, plan and
track complex tasks and projects, share project information with
others, via MindManager's unique Internet conferencing, create web
sites and/or site maps using the web site export features, track
progress on projects visually, to quickly see how far along you
are, organize multiple projects at once, take notes efficiently
and easily reorganize them and more.
Download a free full-featured demo -- or a smaller version which
downloads quicker and try it for 21 days.
There are a wealth of resources on-line to help you learn the
skill of mapping your mind. So if you want the big picture, he's a
place to start drawing it.
3.http://www.brain.com Josh Reynolds's
Brain.com focuses on mental performance enhancement with its
premier thinkFast software. Now thinkFast is an on-line
application and brain.com has become an on-line brain-enhancement
community.
In 1995,the Global Idea Bank listed my idea of the "mini- mind
gym" http://www.globalideasbank.org/BOV/BV-488.HTML. The principle
is that by using your brain, you can increase your mental fitness.
Mind Media's IQ Builder and thinkFast software featured on
brain.com work along these principles. They both give you a
variety of mental tests which focus on a spectrum of mental
abilities. By increasing the difficulty over trials, you "build
mental muscle."
Now thinkFast has become an on-line application and added features
which take the idea of mental fitness workouts further.
thinkFast is the perfect mind-mini gym and allows you to measure
and save your improvements on-line. It "works you out" on a wide
variety of mental skills. The program even includes your own
Personal Tutor who coaches you to greater mental heights.
4. http://www.acal.com Stressmaster by Acel Self-Growth Software
is about more than just stress. Modules contained within this
ambitious Windows program include: Define Goals, Design Life,
Overcome Additions, Change My State of Mind, Calm Anger, Cope with
Daily Stress and several more.
Some of the modules take you through interactive exercises that
help you deal with various problem areas. Each of the modules
written output is recorded in a master Self Discovery Journal.
This is one of the best of the growing number of programs aimed
toward self-therapy, StressMaster is available for a 30-day free
trial.
5. http://brainstorming.org/ablemind/index.html ThinkWorld's
Ablemind Streaming Idea Generator is the latest in the genre of
brainstorming software and works in conjunction with the company's
Brainstorming 101 seminar. You can download a demo version of the
program, which contains a subset of the program's 87 million idea
cards.
The idea cards, which the program generates upon demand, consist
of three words - a verb adjective and a noun. For example here are
a few of the cards I drew: bevel postmodern shirts, lighten
leather cans, vibrate instant televisions,
These phrases might seem a bit meaningless but they are there to
make you think. The company gives a few examples. Pump basketball
shoes, they say, would have made people laugh twenty years ago.
Now, after tens of millions of basketball shoes sold, people would
think the idea pure genius. A few more examples among the
millions possible from Able's software: project Celluloid images,
navigate electronic documents.
Well the arguments pretty convincing that this software can make
me money. I'm going to file my patent for a
vibrating instant television tomorrow.

FIVE MINDWARE ONLINE APPLICATIONS YOU CAN VISIT TODAY
by Bruce Eisner
The Internet is always issuing new and trendy buzzwords and so you
have probably started hearing that the next wave on the Web is
online applications. In fact, online applications have arrived and
will revolutionize the way that you will use the interactive self-
improvement and personal-development tools which is the essence of
the meaning of this new genre of Mindware tools.
Since the beginning of personal computing, there have always been
a number of competing operating systems which you can chose from
to run your PC. In the past twenty years CPM, OS/2, the BeOS, the
Macintosh, many flavors of UNIX along with several flavors of
Windows. It has been a situation akin to the Biblical tower of
Babel and so computer users for the most part chose Windows along
those "who think different" picking the Mac. And the third most
popular desktop operating system, Linux.
Many people have chose Windows as an operating system because
there are hundreds of times as many applications made for it than
for the Mac or Linux or the others. Most computer users have
dreamed of a day when it didn't matter what operating system you
ran, you could use whatever application you wanted on any
computer. Online applications are rapidly making this dream a
reality.
Online applications are built to work within a computer browser so
that the application runs on the web server and any web-enabled
computer can use them. In addition to their universality of use,
these applications can also be upgraded by system administrator of
the web server, virtually eliminating the need to constantly buy
and install upgrades to every one of your software applications.
Confined at first to a small group of mainstream software
applications such as accounting software, utilities, online
greeting card generators and the like, online applications are now
becoming available for the kind of software that I like to write
about.
So here are five web online applications worth a visit. I've
written about some of them before and their here again because
they help broaden the range of possible scope of what you can look
at today.
Five Self-Improvement Online Applications worth a Visit
1.http://www.living-software.com The first personal
development online application I'm going to review is by an
Israeli team headed by C.E.O Doron Zzur. The link above is to a
beta of the most sophisticated self-therapy tool created for the
computer and it runs on any machine you care to try it on!
After registering, the program prompts you with the question, "How
Do You Feel Today." You answer by writing down what psychologists
are fond of calling "your issues" and then you are introduced to
four helpers in cartoon form. You can choose any of them and they
will converse with you and help you clarify your problem and think
about it in different terms.
Each of the helpers is a different kind of personality and can
give advices, which might even contradict the other very different
personality. By then noting changes as they occur, you involve
yourself in an ongoing process. This process can lead to
improvements in attitude and mood as the brainstorming helps you
become familiar with your "issue." And with familiarity comes
relief by looking at something you here-to-fore avoided.
This is a beta and has some rough edges but the good part is that
it is free. Also information collected will help to make this site
even better. Eventually Mr. Dzur hopes to turn this into a paid
service. He was inspired to go into this line of work by a very
significant personal crisis in his life, which occurred after his
wife passed away with cancer several years ago. He founded this
company to make available to the public ways of quickly responding
to stressful life crises. His company has board of consulting
psychologists and the site is worth a visit or several.
2. http://app.brain.com/member/join.cfm Josh Reynolds's
Brain.com focuses on mental performance enhancement with its
premier thinkFast software. Now thinkFast is an online application
and brain.com has become an online brain-enhancement community.
In 1995,the Global Idea Bank listed my idea of the "mini- mind
gym" http://www.globalideasbank.org/BOV/BV-488.html was listed
for voting.The basic principle is that by using your brain,
you can increase your mental fitness by exersing it, just as you
do physical muscles.
Mind Media's IQ Builder and thinkFast software featured on
brain.com work along these principles. They both give you a
variety of mental tests, which focus on a spectrum of mental
abilities. By increasing the difficulty over trials, you "build
mental muscle."
Now thinkFast has become an online application and added features,
which take the idea of mental fitness workouts further.
ThinkFast is the perfect mind-mini gym and allows you to measure
and save your improvements online. It "works you out" on a wide
variety of mental skills. The program even includes your own
Personal Tutor who coaches you to greater mental heights.
3.http://www.goalpro.com/index.cfm?ID=50571 I've written a lot in
June and July about GoalPro - which I consider one of the most
helpful software programs I've used to help me organize for
success. I'm featuring it here again because you've got to look
around the site to find that in addition to the software version,
there's an online version of GoalPro you can purchase as a
subscription which allows anyone including Mac and Linux users to
use this significant program. Here's what I wrote in June:
The people who publish GoalPro 5.0 calls it "The most effective
success management application available" and the funny thing is -
- they may be right! GoalPro software in tandem with Microsoft
Outlook is the combo that I use. But you don't have to use GoalPro
on a PC. The people at GoalPro have kept up with the state-of-the-
art and are offering GoalPro with most of its features intact

people who set too many tasks or procrastinate can evaluate and
reschedule missed deadlines. Download a free thirty-day trial - -
you might want to keep using it -- I did.
4. http://www.timecontrol.cc Panella Strategies: Success-Centered
Time Management Power and Power Marketing Principles is not an
exactly an online application but I put it here because it relies
on the multimedia capabilities of the web to deliver an extensive
library of time management principles developed by Vince Panella.
During the past 18 years, his profit and time-building programs
have influenced thousands of companies and tens of thousands of
people in 25 countries around the world. The application- like
section is called the Time Control Room and it has series of
modules which take several days to learn (Panella finds that most
people who take other time management courses don't learn anything
because they are presented two quickly so they are forgotten just
as quickly. Real Audio lectures by Vince Panella are supplemented
by written materials available for download and the program
together works very well. The cost is $20 per month but readers
of this column can email mailto:psi@accelernet.net and get yearlong
subscription for only $49.95 if you mention that Robert Galpren,
Editor-In-Cheif from the Mind Media review sent you.
5.http://www.ansir.com -- Ashir.com is more than a web site, it is
one premier example of Mindware online app. Ashir.com starts with
a personality test which uses a unique system called the Ansir
Style of Relating. You take the test after registering and are
rated on 14 different personality attributes. Here is what they
say about their test. "Discover your Self- truth and potential!
It's free, challenging, and enlightening! But be warned, this
serious test has 2,744 possible combinations and is ranked-by
participants and Members alike-among the toughest and most
accurate on the Web. Self-honesty is key. Read Profile Briefs
first, then learn much, much more with Profiles In Depth
absolutely free! Once you take the test, you are presented with a
unique perspective on yourself and also become part of the
Asir community. It is fun, fascinating and most of all - worth a
visit.
