Review: Confidence for Growth, not Merely Gain - Internal Affiliate Hyperlinks the only flaw

Beau Norton presents a short, practical course initially termed "Extreme Confidence", only to reveal an aspect that I particularly appreciated: extreme confidence is actually self-love and inner peace of mind, not aggressive egoism, manipulation, over bearing drive toward material achievements that is often the substance of many "self-motivational" texts.Making a distinction between two types of confidence, Norton succinctly explains each with concrete exercises.  I cannot attest to the effectiveness of the recent wave of "brain entertrainment", but one can always use the more traditional forms of relaxation and affirmations.  However, the open-body meditation technique Norton advises is one I do use.Norton goes on dealing with goal setting,  overcoming fears (a very interesting check point list approach), and three daily ego boosting habits long recognized for their effectiveness.  All in all, quite an excellent eBooklet with one minor knock on the head: there are a few internal affiliate hyperlinks to external websites (including one to another eBooklet of his).  I frown on this practice, preferring any such links to be in a separate,  isolated section at the conclusion of the text if felt needed... and not within the main body, especially affiliated links.
