Mike C. Adams doesn't waste the reader's time in this very useful little book on improving self-confidence. Filled with photographs that enhance his tips, he starts out after a brief introduction on the importance of getting rid of low self esteem and replacing it with exercise tips on how to overcome this stumbling block, each with succinct but well defined tips. This is easy to follow on first reading, but the more important aspect of this book is its use as a handy reference guide to bolster your game plan toward being a positive and happy person.Some of his tips include being okay with yourself (self esteem is the view you have on yourself), check you appearance to dress the part of one with high self esteem, be clean, stand tall, avoid negative thoughts, turn around negative thoughts into positive ones, forget about perfection, make a list of your strong points, your positive points, pay it forward (do a good deed), don't compare yourself to others, meet new people, makes lists of things you'd like to accomplish, read inspirational books, avoid negative people, exercise, make a list of your fears,  find your passion, don't base you success and self esteem on the compliments of others (you don't need them to have good self esteem), be light hearted (laugh at yourself every day), and just be yourself - twenty five tips in all.This very handsome young author has written many book along the concept of this one - books about worrying, procrastinating, anxiety management, dealing with low self esteem, decluttering your life, setting goals, tips on public speaking, dealing with difficult people - and it seems as though he is everyman's neighborhood, patient, reality-based therapist. You'll love his books - and him: his personality spills out of the compassionate pages. Grady Harp, December 13
