Unstoppable Confidence
October 2, 2009

"Unstoppable Confidence" is a six-part course to address self-confidence issues. The format of the course is a workbook style that allows the reader to examine his or her confidence issues. Then, using the exercises provided the individual can delve into the heart of those challenges, making appropriate changes in belief and behavior.

There are several things that I found particularly useful in this booklet. Unlike other resources that focus purely on behavior, Unstoppable Confidence also looks at body language. She even suggests that the reader model behavior and the body language of a confident role model.

The author also includes a list of 13 categories of negative thoughts or distortions. As I read through the list, then did the exercises, I started to recognize my behavior. It is true; we really are often our own worst enemies. Still, only by seeing these unhealthy reactions can we combat them.

Book Description:
Unstoppable Confidence is your ticket to a whole new life - you can be stronger, bolder, and more secure. This easy-to-use workbook tackles six breakthrough steps to help build self-confidence using case studies, exercises, assignments, and empowering techniques.

My Review: I don't know too many people who couldn't use a boost of confidence and self-assurance. At times we all feel inadequate or overwhelmed by what we need to accomplish. Unstoppable Confidence is a workbook, broken down into 6 - 1 week lessons, which will teach you how to overcome the thoughts that drag you down and make you feel ineffective.

Initially, the reader assesses their inner belief system, which is a process rather like looking at your thoughts in a mirror. I found the 13 categories of negative thoughts especially useful, and I admit I recognized myself in several categories. The workbook not only helps the reader recognize flawed thoughts, but how to defeat them.

As a fascinating pep-talk for life, the book helps the reader to plan a course for the future and teaches how to go from feeling hopeless about a situation to conquer fears to go forward. We tend to limit ourselves in so many ways when all we really need is to step out and take a chance.

Have read so many books on improving self confidence and performance that my eyes glaze over.

Cannot improve on the other 5 star rating reviews, so will simply note its one of the best work books I have encountered.

Quick lessons, personalized for anyone

Life coach and author Astrid Harris describes her new book, "Unstoppable Confidence," as `life-changing' and `a ticket to a whole new life.' Are these things possible coming from a workbook comprised of only 29 pages? Harris thinks so.

"Unstoppable Confidence" is divided into six different lessons meant to be read individually and their strategies practiced thoroughly before moving on to the next section. Within each, there are ample writing areas for the reader to answer questions relating to their own situation, thereby personalizing the exercises and assignments. Harris utilizes each reader's personal belief system and a deserving role model to further explain her empowering techniques.

As someone who has studied Daniel Goleman's "Emotional Intelligence," I had great doubts as to Astrid Harris' ability to get the basic concept of self-awareness and self-confidence across in a mere 29-page workbook but I was pleasantly surprised. Without going into an enormous amount of detail, she explains self-confidence and the importance of knowing the `why' behind various integral aspects of personality such as religious beliefs, personal convictions, opinions, etc. Her questions to the reader are thought-provoking and lead them on to further questions and deeper considerations. Her language and intents are easily understandable and free of the psychological jargon commonly found in books of the same genre.

"Unstoppable Confidence" is an easy to absorb book and perfect for someone with no prior studies or background in psychology. Its succinct format allows for even the busiest person to learn its methods without a great deal of time spent reading. Although additional resources at the end of the book for further study would have been nice to see, Harris gives her readers enough to get their confidence-boosting balls rolling. Ironically, the excitement and motivating nature she exudes in the pages of "Unstoppable Confidence" is not reflected in its bland and nondescript cover.

"Unstoppable Confidence" by Astrid Harris is a surprising find. Short, sweet, and to the point, these methods cater to already-overflowing schedules and frazzled minds with too much going on. Astrid Harris' work is more like the `executive version' of much thicker confidence building books yet with the same crucial information. Higher confidence and deeper self-knowledge is as quick as today.
