★☆☆☆☆
Avoid if you have any knowledge of basic Psychology!
This is being returned. I had high hopes for this due to the description and reviews but was sorely disappointed. I found this book to be very condescending in the sense that it’s content ( or lack thereof) is simplified down to a level similar to what a child psychologist would do for an adolescent with self-esteem issues. If you know much about psychology in general, are self-aware and/or have been in therapy before don’t buy this book because it’s the basic stuff that anyone who has done the aforementioned things already knows, thereby already having the basic knowledge and tools to implement when mentally ready. It’s very fill in the blank and “one size fits all” in terms of audience. I showed my therapist and she even said that it was disappointing to her in the same ways. It’s for people who just need a little pep talk or very BASIC direction for a kind of watered down self awareness regarding their self-esteem/confidence. That being said this review was not meant to be insulting to anyone who benefited from the book. I’m genuinely happy for you that you could. I just want to keep others that might be similar to me from wasting their money on it.
