I found James Smith repeated his points a LOT—which made it seem like he was waffling to fill space in this book that should probably be only 100 pages long. Most of the advice that resonated and seemed helpful were just quotes from other people, so I’m not sure if this book is worth the read.

Still, Smith has a relatively funny and accessible approach to writing.

I would have liked Smith's take on how to be confident to dive deeper into the topic. Felt like everything was lightly skimmed over. 
Its most memorable points addressed how you need to enter with an expectation of success, visualise, put fear to the side, the win isnt the result its executing the attempt successfully. Its a skill to be practiced. 

His writing was very relatable and easy to comprehend, enjoyable. 

Most of it was true but obvious truths to confidence. Like saying the best way to improve requires smart practice every day. Duh man. 
And for sure I will try to attempt implementing a few techniques into my life and i appreciate the intentions of the author. 

3 best bits. 

Ask for 10 percent off coffee order, setup for fail and rejection, setting up to handle that. 

Have to go in with a expectation for success. Then you roll up excited rather than fear. 

Question your thoughts if its true, can it be proven if not then disregard. Our brain lies to us to keep us safe and our everyday fears dont involve taking on a saber tooth tiger. So put those voices to rest and go hard for it.
