Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Emotional Confidence
Gael Lindenfield · 2014
76/100
👍 Worth It
Lindenfield tackles the harder emotions — guilt, shame, jealousy, anger — with the same practical, exercise-driven approach that made Super Confidence a perennial seller, and the seven-step healing framework gives readers a real roadmap rather than vague encouragement. It's a secular book, so readers looking for a faith-based angle will need to supplement, and those in acute emotional distress should pair it with professional support. For most adults doing steady personal growth work, it's a genuinely useful companion.
