Boy oh boy are you right about considering how much we have written and put into the public domain. I must have written enough content for 10 books over the last 10 years on my blog site about success, and it's good stuff. I just never took the time and the discipline to do something more with it. Your words are inspiring. Your words are book worthy!
You said "I've always wanted to write books in the areas of psychology, self-development and human consciousness, but could never find the time to just sit down and do it!" Your posts on Steemit have been inspiring to me.
Whenever I come on, I always want to check out to see what you have written most recently, because your topics are what I want to hear about and they are well written.
In fact, it was finding your posts that made me finally join Steemit, because then I knew it was possible to find topics and people that I care about and are like minded. I gave you a shoutout in my introduction as a result. https://steemit.com/introductions/@wecanbesublime/what-wolf-shall-i-feed
Thanks @wecanbesublime, and a slightly belated welcome to Steemit!
Clearly, you're a writer, as well... and this part really resonates:
So far, the only authentically helpful suggestion I've have had came from a friend who's an editor, who suggested I simply pick my 30 best/most popular pieces and publish them as "A collection of Essays" in book form, instead of worrying about "writing a book." The material is already there, so why write it all over again?
I'll go read your intro... hopefully I can keep inspiring!

Hi @denmarkguy. You words keep inspiring me. Thanks for the affirmation about my writing and the helpful hint. I have published on Amazon on the Kindle platform, and I know that we have to be careful about just taking blog entries and republishing them in that format, but I love the idea of the collection of essays. I could do that in Create space, in paper format.
This morning I was planning a blog post here, and got some ideas of how I could bring some of the content here, just saying it in a different way.
My brother suggested that I do video posts from my work on other sites. I'm thinking about that too.
Another Idea I have is creating an ecourse with the material and actually generating some income, what a novel idea.
I';m taking this month and next month to meditate on how I would like to live the rest of my life. What do I want to be doing it, what are the essentials that I want in my life. It shall be an interesting summer. All of these ideas just swarming on my poor HSP body and personality (LOL). Is't it a wonderful problem to have?
