Summary: Confidence Finding It And Living It
Review: "Confidence; Finding It and Living It" is the most powerful "self-help" book I've read in some time. If you "want the answer right now" (which is usually the case), this little power-packed, right-to-the-point book will show you the way, step-by-easy-step. In this busy day and age, I appreciated being able to get Dr. De Angelis' point in the quick hour it took to read this book. This is definately a book I will carry with me, read again and again, and share with those I care about! I am looking forward to reading other books by Barbara De Angelis.

Summary: The Best!
Review: As a Psychologist, I can honestly say that this is the best self-help book on confidence that I have ever read! It is short and to the point, yet very rich in extremely helpful and worthwhile information. I refer many of my clients to this book.

Summary: Worth Every Penny
Review: I normally loan out books, but this one, I hold on to. I keep it by my bedside and read my highlighted passages whenever I have a bad day or feel frustrated with myself.

Summary: Some good stuff
Review: It's hard to rate self-help books, in my opinion. On the one hand, if someone can take a bit of advice and use it then it must be worth it. On the other hand, most of the advice is usually common sense, just repackaged info you've heard before, and/or full of fluff. This book is a real quick read. I do like the author's definition of confidence which basically is "To be true to yourself and take action where/when you feel it needs to be taken, and don't be afraid to look bad." She then goes into three areas of confidence; behavior, emotional, and spiritual. She states that spiritual confidence is perhaps the most important because you have to have a belief that things are going to work out for you in the long run. I thought this particular idea was basically fluff and can be summed up into one word, optimism. Self-help books are not miracle pills, they are like private pep talks. The first 2/3 of this book got me invigorated to go out and live life with more confidence!

Summary: WONDERFUL, CONCISE, short
Review: This book doesn't beat around the bush. Barbara gets straight to the point -- how to find confidence and how to BE it.
It's really a wonderful book and I would recommend everyone to get it.
To Barbara DeAngelis, if I may dare (for I am a great fan), I would recommend making the book longer with more examples and more insight. I felt that it was a bit short (though that's what some people need) and I was kind of hoping for a bit more hand-holding and encouragement. But still, 5 stars!!!! :-D Thank you, Barbara, for all your wonderful books!

Summary: Confidence Finding It And Living It
Review: This book has changed my life! I have been unable to put it down. De Angelis relates so well to the reader and gives examples which hit very close to home. I could not believe the impact this book had on my life almost instantly. I thank her for sharing her insight and for revealing the simple, yet profound key to gaining true self confidence forever.
