This book compiles a great range of strategies to help the reader dive into their past, take part in action plans and to discover who they are and ways in which the reader can boost their confidence in a social situations, work issues and significantly, within themselves.
I took this book out wanting to boost my confidence in a social context and for personal reasons for low self-esteem and am delighted to say this book denotes the makings of one of the most helpful books I have ever had the pleasure of reading.
There is a great opening to the book about getting started, outlining what the purpose of the book is for and how the book will cover a range of topics with various methods of personal development.
Chapters include: achieving self-esteem, assertiveness, stress management and building networks.
Whatever the reader wants from a personal development book, it will certainly be covered in this Max Eggert book. The approach is well thought out by outlining baby steps to begin with and understanding the process of making changes and understanding who you are, without the waffle of over complex psychological jargon.
The book is made useful by being very practical. It is encouraging to make changes in your life by adapting a few useful traits in your daily routine, such as keeping a log book, a self-esteem guide of compliments people have given you and a chart mapping out highs and lows. It may seem strange but the chart aspect actually is really useful and you can pinpoint where things may have gotten out of hand and changed going from a high point to a low point.
The book pushes you to discover who you are, what your values are and what you want from life and through this method you can move forward in life once you know who you are and what you want. It encourages the read to make goals, weekly, monthly and in various aspects and looks at the benefits of little treats for overcoming obstacles.
The unique selling point is highly valuable in overcoming past problems but personally, I found the practical approaches in keeping a self-esteem log book more beneficial, just for a general pick me up and writing goals which are tailored to values are also extremely helpful.
This is a great book for anyone wishing to find an area in their life they wish to improve and or overcome. The practical nature allows you to feel really involved in the process and as a result you will start to feel, brilliant. : )
