Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
You're Great!
Julia Hastings · 1997
56/100
👎 Skip It
A 1997 psychologist-authored confidence book built around finding your authentic 'This is it!' direction — the core idea is sensible, but the verifiable critical record is nearly empty and nearly three decades have passed since publication. The framework sounds accessible, but there is simply not enough evidence to recommend this over better-documented alternatives in the same space.
