Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Brilliant Self Confidence
Mike McClement · 2012
63/100
👎 Skip It
Two decades of practitioner experience and the credibility of the Pearson Brilliant series are real advantages, and the broad scenario coverage is genuinely useful. But the 2012 date, the absence of any independent critical coverage, and likely overlap with adjacent titles in the same series make this a middle-of-the-shelf pick rather than a standout recommendation.
