Great!

I love the tactics given by this book. A great guide in improving social skills.

Worked for me

This book is excellent for anyone looking to improve their self-esteem. Thanks to Melanie and Ethan Reddy for the ultimate content and Martin for narrating it so well.

easy to follow

I like that the book gives concrete steps to build confidence. The book also offers examples and stresses that practice and planning are very important.

narrator is fine

it's funny so many people are caught up on the Narrator's ability to read this book--when the entire point of the book is to push yourself to do things outside of your comfort zone to build confidence! leave him alone! lol i thought the book was awesome and had a lot of wonderful and applicable practices in small ways and in big ways!

not a human narrator

This was pure torture. It was like a computer reading flash cards for 12 hrs.

Helpful Content, Awful Narration. Had to return.

I’m not sure if I’m missing something, but I’m in awe of the poorly read narration of this audiobook. I’m midway through and it’s incredibly distracting from the content. The phrasing and inflections are terrible and many of the words are mispronounced. There are hesitations and blunders. It sounds as if a poor reader was called on in class while unprepared.

I’m really shocked that this is presented on audible this way.

It’s almost as if was one take only and no edits.

My Star rating reflects both the narration and content since this is an audiobook. It likely would have been a 4 or 5 if it were read better and I was able to get through to the end.

I wanted to just get a hard copy and read it myself, as I believe I would really enjoy this book. But the narration is sloppy. I do not seem to be able to pin down a hard copy of this book.

Where’s the science?

There’s nothing scientific about this book, just a bunch of seemingly random advice. The advice sounds good, but there’s nothing backing it up or explaining WHY the behaviors increase confidence. I rate this book low because it didn’t seem worth the time.

Needs better editing.

The book was fine, a bit redundant. The performance was lacking, needs more editing. The performer seems to have read the book in its entirety, with no break.

I want my money back

I can't digitally wipe my ass wipe pages of the book. That's the only use a paper copy is. Amazon edited my review. It originally said, "get the duck out of your mouth while narrating" but it didn't say duck. This is the worst reading. Every 3 chapters the say stuff is regurgitated. I would get more from reading the bottom of my shoe.

Un-listenable

Read in a monotone with lots of mistakes.
The content seemed compiled from other sources, not original.
