Book Description

December 30, 2003
Ever wish you had stronger guts so you could confidently turn over a new leaf, pick up that phone, or step up on that soap box? Well, now you can, and in just 8 speedy minutes! Self-confidence expert Karen Salmansohn leads you through fourteen easy exercises that include: SITTING UP and making a list of why you want what you want; BUT KICKS, because buts don't belong in your life; EXPECTATION LIFTS to build up your winner, and not your whiner, muscles; LYING STILL and visualizing your life's outcome, because your speedometer is clicking by more each day - are you enjoying the ride? One good workout can improve your performance in the office, at a family function, even in a bar. THE 8-MINUTE GUTS BUILDER is a fun and easy-to-use guide to improving an underdeveloped quality that is essential to every reader's happiness: confidence. Karen Salmansohn, with her witty and fresh approach to self-help, once again finds the long-overlooked key that helps readers get what they want--the fast, funny way.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best 8 minutes you could spend reading/thinking/doing, June 6, 2004
This review is from: The 8 Minute Guts Builder: A Portable Coach to Pump Up Your Courage (Hardcover)
This book is a wonderful booster for those in need of a boost! I loved the concepts for getting me to think about my fears in new ways so they seemed less frightening. The book is a great merging of humor and real (POWERFUL!) psychological insights that really, really work! I totally recommend this book...along with Ms. Salmansohn's HOW TO BE HAPPY, DAMMIT!

2.0 out of 5 stars Nothing like Karen Salmansohn other books., August 19, 2005
This review is from: The 8 Minute Guts Builder: A Portable Coach to Pump Up Your Courage (Hardcover)
You can't beat her book - Enough, Dammit: A Cynic's Guide to Finally Getting What You Want out of Life.

And the other title How to Be Happy, Dammit: A Cynic's Guide to Spiritual Happiness - is pretty good.

This one unless you are a collector, I would avoid. Somehow the other two work, even though there is a lot of design to them, the content is really good.

I personally think that the design will date itself rather quickly.

But then she can just do a new layout with same content.

Buy Enough, Dammit, Dammit!
