كتاب أكثر سذاجة من قدرة المرء على الاحتمال

[Kezia Mariska · Rating 4 out of 5]

'BOOST' pretty much embodies the definition of motivational. It’s packed with valuable insights, suggestions and advice on how to increase your confidence. This book is a must read for anyone who’s in the road of achieving goals with a confident mind, body and soul. It's like reading a book filled with fruitful quotes. This book helped me to really think how confidence can affect our entire life. For instance, how to accept your true self, how to communicate better with one another, etc. Without doubt an uplifting and inspiring read!

Dit is het eerste informatieve boek dat ik heb gelezen en wat geen schoolboek is. Ik ben erg geïnteresseerd in het positief denken en mindfulness dus leek dit boek me wel interessant. Het vind de opbouw van het boek ook fijn: kopjes met stukjes tekst met inspirerende quotes. Heb er echt van geleerd en zal binnenkort weer zo'n boek willen lezen maar wil eerst weer terug naar de fictie verhalen!

I really liked the advice the book gave me, and I'll make sure to incorporate it into my life.

كتاب من القطع الصغير، قرأته في جلسة واحدة.
لغة الكاتب بسيطة وطريقة عرض الأفكار سلسلة وممتعة.
أنصح بقراءته بعد فترة انقطاع عن القراءة أو حتى كفاصل بين قراءات ثقيلة.

أتمنى قراءة ممتعة للجميع.

تنمية بشرية بحتة؛ خداع.

[Apollos Michio · Rating 3 out of 5]

A handy confidence guidebook that serves as an instant but arguably transient perk-me-up.

[Laurine Dudaczyk · Rating 4 out of 5]

Livre centré autour de la confiance en soi, facile à lire, illustré avec des designs sympathiques. Les textes distribuant des conseils sur la prise de confiance en soi sont alternés avec des citations, rendant la lecture agréable.
