• Readers will enjoy the style and approach of this book that celebrates failure, rejection and disappointment, allows you to feel them and experience them and then helps you to learn and grow from them.
• Very empowering - the book allows for the fact that nobody knows the reader like they know themselves and hands them the power to change.
• Covers some of the most basic of Personal Development's core subjects such as fear, anxiety, confidence and self-esteem but with humour, warmth, a friendly tone and from a compellingly refreshing angle.
