index index index index Don't let the goofy cover and just a few negative reviews dissuade you - male or female, if you are looking for help with confidence, I highly recommend this book. I rarely write reviews but I wanted to put in a good word for this book since it was helpful to me. This book offers encouragement, practical techniques, and a fresh perspective on the problem. If you are struggling to get this area of your life handled, give this a read - you have so little to lose and so much to gain!Finally a book that goes beyond the standard self-hep guruism! Sheenah Hankin offers an emotional education that leaves readers with the necessary tools to reach emotional maturity.I discovered this book after seeing it mentioned in Woman's Day magazine. The author wants us to be realistic about what we like about ourselves and what bad habits we'd like to give up. Then we need to "challenge what you want to change." By this, she means if you're disgusted with your money problems, then meet with a financial planner to learn better ways to do things.
She has some good points here. People too often categorize themselves as "I'm not good at..." or "I never could do..." We can change. Hopefully this book will be the catalyst to help you change what you want to change and to appreciate what you already are able to do.who prefer to believe that we cannot control how we live.

If you are happy being on meds and feeling sorry for yourself, then of course you will feel skeptical about the advice in this book. If you are ready to get off your ass and take responsibility for yourself and how you handle things, then this book is life-changing.
Lots of words here. And the info is at best marginal. The book could have used more pictures.To be confident, a person must walk a path to freedom, arriving at a place called Emotional Maturity. The people you will meet there are competent high-achievers. Cheerful and calm, they are free of anxiety and depression.They will welcome you, for they are not shy. When annoyed, they will set a good example with their straightforward honesty. They play the game of life with a Winning Hand, and you can join them if you make the journey.
