However, this book and the accompanying CD are rather useless. His advice on achieving total confidence in life and situations is basically to sit up straight and breath deeply. His writing is uninspiring, obtuse, bland. He does offer some basic principles that I have read elsewhere, and that are effective. But the way he describes them, it's not in depth at all. Therefore, you can find the same ideas but with more insight elsewhere. At the end of each chapter is an acitivity or exercise. Each one is the same: close your eyes, imagine being self-confident. Wow, that's powerful.

It's going to take more than that dude.

The "mind-progamming" CD was just creepy. It's reasonably well done as hypnosis, but it lacked the punch needed to make the lessons take hold.

I would do thorough research and go with other, classic self-help books - tried and true.

The imagery exercises in the book are the important things to do reguarly, thus you will find without any effort you start to feel much more confident.
The book is written in a simple understandable way which is the key to its success, ofton the ways to improve our lives are indeed simple,unfortunately some people cant accept simple solutions prefering to look for more complicated ones.
This book will really change your life if you do the imagery exercises reguarly.
