Summary: It would have been great...
Review: ...if only I really had attended a course like this when I was in school. Not only have the lessons helped me grow in confidence, I have to say it was a pleasure to read. This is the real thing, folks. Finally.

Summary: Yes, this one works!
Review: I found this wonderful book by accident, searching for a book of similar title. Intrigued by the professional reviews, still I wasn't sure--so I checked it out at the library. It worked for me. I've now bought three more as gifts for family and friends and it's working for them too. The Confidence Course is a gem: Wisdom well-told.

Summary: Prepare to make an F
Review: Walter Anderson is just like the much-talked-about, dreaded college professors whose classes have no real structure or surefire path to success. I'm not looking for a teacher to "hold my hand" through the course -- I'm plenty capable of learning many of the lessons myself -- but Anderson's chapters dump a myriad of anecdotes and stories onto you and expect you to somehow pull a lesson from them. The challenges at the end of the chapters are often misguided, and I've yet to have one of the revelations he says his readers will experience after performing them. If Anderson offered a course at my school, I'd avoid it like the plague, which is a shame, as the premise of this book is *very* appealing.
