This book gave the same vibe as “don’t be depressed. Just be happy!” Like yep thanks but how do I actually do that?
Mainly quotes throughout this whole thing but even then most of them either held little value or were very much ‘easier said than done.’
Rolled my eyes at a good chunk of it tbh

So I read this in order to complete a reading challenge and I thought it would be a cute little book that ticked some boxes on the challenge, would be a quick and productive read. However it basically all the way through tells you that to be confident you need to be confident, it doesn't give any real advice and even went as far as to assume in one part that all of the readers were healthy (saying the words be grateful that you're healthy). The only real advice that it gave was to practice mindfulness so rather than getting this one just skip straight to a book about mindfulness (from this series or otherwise),

A delightful book with insightful advice, positive affirmations, and inspirational quotes.

It’s an okay from me. It might be because most of the quotes I have read somewhere else already. It just didn’t stay on my mind much after finishing the book.

A lot of quotes. As it is a very short book it doesn't really go very well into confidence.

Was a nice quick read, but not my favorite. Would’ve liked more facts or deeper thoughts! Still a pleasant ant read though!

This book combines quotes by others and good information, to help anyone increase the confidence they feel.

[Roger Davis · Rating 4 out of 5]

A book of positive affirmations that go slightly below surface level to offer reminders of self-worth. Centering and easy to read.
