Be the Man: How to Reclaim Your Confidence & Win the War Against Mediocrity
joshua holyfield · 2024
🎙 Narrated by Joshua Holyfield (self-narrated)
52/100
👎 Skip It
Holyfield writes from real combat-veteran experience and pushes sustainable fitness habits over quick fixes, which is a decent angle, but this is self-published with no independent editorial review and I couldn't verify the specifics of the military content. I'd recommend an actual listen-through spot-check before featuring, given the unverified deployment material and unconfirmed narration quality.
✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
⚠ Parent note — our reviewers flagged: References combat deployment in general terms; content specifics and any strong language could not be verified — recommend a pre-listen check before featuring on a family list.. We still scored it 52; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.
