The thing about me is that I don't like self-help books; I don't find them useful at all.
But as you can see i gave this book 3 stars
What's different about this book is the way it gives you more information about the problem that you may have, so you put that book back with more mental health knowledge even if you finish the book without actually getting any 'help'.
I gained so much knowledge by reading this book.
There're some strategies in this book that actually helped me and I actually tweeted about one, which is 'Your good bits record' it helped me a lot when i was feeling down because of a school project.
It was a light and good read, not a waste of time..

Maybe reading three self-help books in a row wasn't so good an idea after all. In my defense, those three combined make less than a regular 500-page self-help book, so I thought it would be okay. It wasn't.
I don't know how smart it is to say "info-dumping" for a nonfiction book, but honestly, this is what it is. Again, it has good parts and most of the strategies it includes are totally applicable, but the examples sounded too exaggerated to me and this book could easily be around 100 pages. While I appreciate your persistence on keeping them 160-page, quality is more important. And it's never a good sign if the reader is more interested in what's going to happen to people in your examples than the actual informative part of the book.
Overall, 3/5.

"Η αυτοπεποίθηση είναι ένα αίσθημα συναισθηματικής ασφάλειας που πηγάζει από την πίστη προς τον εαυτό μας, ενώ ο όρος αυτοεκτίμηση περιλαμβάνει όλα όσα δημιουργούν αυτή την πίστη γενικότερα. Η αυτοεκτίμηση είναι ένας από τους πιο σημαντικούς παράγοντες για τη θεμελίωση της αυτοπεποίθησης."
Με τη βοήθεια του βιβλίου αλλά και με προσωπική προσπάθεια θα μάθετε πως να αντιμετωπίζετε την ανασφάλεια, πως να ενισχύσετε την πίστη στον εαυτό σας, πως να περιορίσετε την αυτοκριτική, πως να παίρνετε την κατάσταση στα χέρια σας.
Επίσης θα μπορέσετε να εντοπίσετε τα δυνατά σας σημεία και έτσι να θέσετε βραχυπρόθεσμους εφικτούς στόχους.

الثقة.. شعورٌ بـالاطمئنان ينبع من تقدير المرء لـذاته وإمكاناته وقدراته.. بها يحكم قدرته على التكيف مع مختلف الأمور.. نقيضها الشك.. ينبع من الزعزعة والإيمان بـالعجز.. به يبدو كل شيءٍ أصعب وأشقى وأكثر احتمالاً للفشل
حلقة انعدام الثقة.. تبدأ من تقديرٍ منخفضٍ للذات.. يليه سوء تصرفٍ مبنيٍّ عليه.. يليه قلقٌ وتوترٌ من ذلك التصرف.. يليه فوجٌ من الأفكار السلبية الهدامة.. التي تعدم الثقة.. وتستمر الحلقة بـالدوران
علامات انعدام الثقة ثمانٍ.. الانطوائية وتجنب الناس.. أو نقيضها الانفتاحية وجذب انتباه الجميع.. ثم الكسل والخمول في العمل.. أو نقيضه الإفراط في الاجتهاد لإثبات النفس.. ثم اللامبالاة في الملبس والمظهر.. أو نقيضه الإفراط في الاهتمام.. ثم التهرب من مواقف الحُكم والتقييم.. ثم تجاهل الثناء والمجاملات

Understanding LSE
I chose to read this book because I wanted to help my daughter who has been suffering with low self esteem and also to better understand my husband who has had many issues. This book gives clarity at a very basic level. Having seen in print some of the thought patterns that both of my family members have had has helped me in many ways to understand and accept how they have suffered, why they have behaved in certain ways and how I can help them help themselves.
I was sceptical about the book before hand but decided to take a chance ,I am glad that I did!

I won this book through the goodreads advance reading programme and it is a must for all to read. Everyone will find something it it that relates to them and there is a lot of helpful information and tips. I am passing it onto a friend as she it wanting to read it after I quoted parts aloud to her. Honestly there is something to help everybody in this little book.

I started this book in advance of a presentation I had to give, in the hope it would help as public speaking isn't my favourite thing. It contained some helpful tips about confidence and going after what you want in life. However, I didn't find it as good as the 'Calm' book in the series, and didn't hurry to finish it.

Another great Book in this series-As always, great chapter structures, practical exercises & relatable language. A great guide to increasing your confidence-& to life in general!
This is the last one in the series that I own at the moment-But I'd like to read the Mindfulness & Sleep ones at some point, to complete the set.
