First off, this book is beautifully written. Definitely a hidden gem in terms of writing quality.

Second, it has a lot of very interesting concepts. This isn't your typical self-improvement book that tells you to, "make strong eye contact", or say a specific line. This is about cultivating the mindset that naturally leads to self-confidence.

The book is very honest and has a lot of unique ideas, some of which I found to be very practically useful.

Here and there, there's a concept that I didn't totally agree with, but I found those concepts intersting nonetheless. Highly recommended.

Who said self-help books are long and boring?

This book might be the one of the best 'concise' self-help books out there. Avery puts the thoughts in your head lucidly and leaves you wondering if you were doing it wrong all this time.

If you have got few hours to spare (though I would recommend reading it in parts, so you can brainstorm along the stuff you read), pick it up, its short and I know it'll change you for a better person.

The writing is fantastic. A lot of cool ideas here, nothing that I would consider self-help fluff.

Some practical stuff, some mindset stuff, I do really like that the author used a good amount of scientific resources to make his points.

Too short. It's only about 60 pages, I wish there was more, I think if the book were full-length the ideas could have been really fleshed out and this could be a top-shelf self-improvement book.

Simple straightforward, to the point. It literally feels like the kind of advice my boyfriend would give me: Chin Up, Be what you envision yourself as, Push Through, Don’t Complain...
I guess that may be why it’s deemed “The 21st Century Man’s Guide to Deep Self-Confidence”.
