Clear, helpful, nicely written, and printed on lovely paper!

[Lindsey · Rating 3 out of 5]

interesting enough, advice from stars about improving confidence in variety of situations - I liked it because it didn't read like a regular self-help book, wasn't full of technical/biological knowledge etc just good advices from successful people

[Lara · Rating 5 out of 5]

The advice from the actors has helped me be more confident in work situations and at parties. It makes you realise that everyone gets shy and nervous sometimes - even Helen Mirren. You can pick it up and put it down, dipping into it when you need a bit of extra confidence in life.

This is a great book to have on the kindle, as it's full of tips to add that sparkle into your life and references some celebrities (the genuine ones that are likeable).
If I'm ever having a day where I lack a bit of sparkle, a quick buzz through this always gets my morale boosted.

Easy to read, straight to the point, and packed with really good wisdoms from familiar actors
