Why Not You?: 28 Days to Authentic Confidence

The book helped me to learn about me ; inspiring spiritual principles. I chose today to empower myself by completing the entire book and will read Valorie other books.Thanks Valorie

I am five days into reading this book, and have already been helped, immensely. It is very clear that Valorie Burton has received a vision, and through this book she has made it clear.My doubts and insecurities began melting away after reading Day 1. I can't imagine how much more authentically confident I will be after Day 28.If you are struggling with confidence shortcomings I highly recommend reading this book. It will also help to have a blank journal handy in which to record your thoughts and daily Confidence Journal assignments which end each day's chapter.

The Ups and Downs of Being Round It took me a while to get started because of my crazy schedule, but I decided to make increasing my confidence a priority. From that day on I would wake up every morning and read one chapter a day.Valorie Burton organized the book in manageable chunks so that you can focus on one area of self-improvement at a time. Self-improvement is really not the best word to describe it though because she used scriptures and prayers to help us to realize that being confident is not just about self-confidence, because we cannot do it alone. It is all about having authentic confidence which is very much dependant on your faith in how God works through you.I enjoyed the confidence exercises that she recommended for each day. They were simple and they were not intimidating, but they made a big difference.Monica Marie JonesAuthor of "The Ups and Downs of Being Round" and "Taste My Soul"

I bought this during my last year of grad school when I had to do presentations for my internship (which was necessary to graduate). In the past I've always avoided public speaking at all costs and felt nervous the entire day when I had to present for school (even after the presentation) and this book helped me tremendously. I felt so confident after that-that new career opportunities opened up to me. I now feel confident applying for jobs I typically avoided in the past because of the requirement to give presentations. I lent the book to a friend who's having the same anxiety I once had and I can't wait to hear she feels after reading it.

It took me a while to read this book because I would always miss a few days and its set up like a devotional. However, once I committed to it, I looked forward to reading it every night. I loved how it read, I loved the biblical perspective and I enjoyed the activities at the end of each day/chapter. I'm looking forward to reading more from Valorie Burton.

Excellent book, I recommend this book for anyone with severe confidence issues to dealing with doubt on occasion. The examples and question are awesome questions to ask in making any decision to move forward with your life.

our group did not enjoy the book at all. We always work on team building exercises and this was not a good choice for us. half way we decided to move to another book.

i consider this book one of my every day books because i read it every day. the only thing i dont like about it is the author seems like an evangelist (promoting christ, Joyce Meyer, and Joel Osteen) in her writing.

It's a beautiful book one must read
