hopeful informative inspiring
One of the best and most honest books I've ever read. I've been saying some of these things for most of my life-this is the first time I've ever heard someone agree with me.

This was marketed more as a self help book for people with low self confidence. The first 1/4 of the book is spent essentially saying that you probably don't have confidence for a reason, and you should listen to your doubts and realize that you shouldn't try.

Telling me that having low confidence is good for you isn't helpful at all.

Well for one thing this is not about gaining confidence.
It basically says you will gain confidence if....you're just better at stuff. Duh. It also posits that anxiety and depression are good for you-statements that are extremely detrimental to those with legitimate mental illness
