This book has changed my fortunes for the better. I'm the man I've always wanted to be now, and my confidence has grown so much in the last six months, all because I took a gamble on purchasing this little guide. Let me tell you a bit about myself, or at least what I used to be like: Shy, riddled with self doubt and whenever I met a woman, I'd usually blush and stammer. I was the poster boy for awkward. I'd always find amusing things to say to women, but usually later on, lay in bed, alone, replaying my incompetence over and over again like a bad movie. Call it a cycle, but knock back after knock back entrenched these behaviours deeper in me each time.So I bought this book. It isn't the first self improvement guide I've tried, but it will be the last: I don't need anymore help thanks to Gregg Michaelsen. The Building of a Confident Man has given me the kind of knowledge, advice and tools I needed to make me the person I had the potential to be, a person that was locked away behind a shell of self doubt and social nervousness.I'm writing this review because I see this book as the best, most concise and useful guide I have ever found for breaking though the prison that is lack of self esteem. I suspect there are so many men out there who are like me, who just lack that ability to make a contact,  open a dialogue, even make eye contact with a lady. Men, who like I was, whose minds are so full of self doubt they waste the prime years of their lives not making the moves on the women who are right there in reach, but who remain out of reach, because these men self select themselves out of these women`s lives, simply by never approaching them. Never revealing to them their true self, out of sheer fear.This book cut through all that for me. This book taught me that my assumptions are overpowering. If I saw an attractive lady, I'd assume they wouldn't want me. Surely they want a rich man, or a man with a model's physique.  This book wiped my mind clean from all that and rebuilt my assumptions up with certain insights into how the female mind works. Now I see that women have certain desires for a partner too. They want the men who can make them feel good about themselves.Beyond the insights into what a female desires from a partner, this book comes with solid, pragmatic advice on how to make a woman feel good about herself. Making her associate you with feeling good about themselves, which becomes currency for her converting that association into raw physical desire. Desire for you.I went to a party after reading up on a few techniques in this book, and I decided to go all out and try a few techniques. I got a phone number and a whispered promise from a girl I considered well out of my league, or would have done, had I been thinking in my old ways.That was the start, and this book cracked my shell open and allowed me the confidence to be more myself. Confidence breeds confidence. Follow the advice and techniques laid out in this book, and give yourself permission to be a little bit more pragmatic and confident in your ways with women, and you'll find that those women who you self selected out of your life by telling yourself they were out of your league, will soon be interested in you. And boy, is that confidence addictive: One you get a taste for it, you'll be able to talk to girls a lot easier. And whilst not every girl will fall into your arms, that sense of confidence you exude feeds on itself, and other people feed off it too.I've dated three girls in the last three months. I've had offers and declined them, too. The latest one is a keeper, I suspect. She's beautiful and she loves me for who I am, but it was through reading this book and learning the tricks of confidence that gave me the strength  and courage to speak to her at a bar that brought her into my life.This book changed my life. If you recognise yourself in my self description in the first paragraph of this review, then spend the small change required to purchase this book right now. This book will change your fortunes, I'm living proof.
