The broad term personal development further includes self-fulfilment, developing self-awareness, finding an identity, discovering a passion or improving the quality of life. Realising dreams or fulfilling ambitions, it is all part of personal development. This category also includes professional development such as the development of work-related skills. Professional self-development has grown in popularity and has helped many managers and executives to obtain better qualified and motivated staff.

Already in the first societies people danced, made music and sang. These practices have different functions, but all of them can be used, such as finding the meaning of life or living a good life. In Eastern culture, Confucius was a great man in the field of self-development and personality development.
