5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent resource!
Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2019
Her own feelings of inadequacy led Lynn Matti to where she is now as the nationally recognized author and creator of her SoberSoul Recovery Program where she helps people work through their feelings of insufficiency, anxiety and depression, as well as any addictions which may or may not be present. Throughout this book, she offers supportive tools and strategies that address the thoughts and behaviors that aren’t working, as well as how to change them. She draws on both CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) techniques as she helps people work toward setting realistic goals and using those goals to create a strong foundation for the life they want to live. Taking ownership of one’s inner dialogue, exploring one’s values and beliefs, and establishing healthy boundaries are part of this process.
In this book, carefully and with great compassion, Lynn teaches you how to notice, then embrace, and then accept your emotions just the way they are. Activities for each week help you identify what is going on inside you so you can integrate the changes you want to make into your daily life. As she walks you through the process, she tells you what you can expect and how to recognize clear signs of progress.
In Week One, Lynn asks you to consider just what it is that you want to achieve. Relevant questions will help you focus on and analyze where you want to go and how you can get there. I really like how she addresses the many ways the mind and body interact so you can understand – perhaps for the very first time – the importance of self-care, as well as how to weave nurturing yourself into the picture you are creating.
Week Two is about getting acquainted with your inner critic, how you typically respond to stress, how the inner critic behaves, as well as how to work with your inner critic in a positive manner.
Week Three focuses on transforming your relationship with your thoughts, while Week Four discusses how your beliefs and values color how you feel about everything, including yourself. Perfectionism and learning to be flexible are included in this chapter.
Week Five zeros in on how the ability to clearly communicate builds self-confidence and esteem. Lynn says effective communication is the key to all of the above. Everything you have been working on thus far has been leading up to being able to create and set comfortable boundaries while expressing yourself effectively.
Before she sends you out on your own, Lynn makes sure you understand what to do if you get stuck so you can get yourself back on the track you’ve worked so hard to create.
This book would be an excellent resource not only for those who are just now beginning to work on acceptance and self esteem, but also for those of us who may still have some residual issues that need attention.

(The publisher sent me this book with a request for an honest review.)

4.0 out of 5 stars Help yourself
Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2020
This resource begins with a chapter entitled Understanding Your Self-Confidence followed by Beginning Your Journey. Then follow chapters that go week by week. The first is on Setting Goals, the next on Meeting and Confronting Your Inner Critic, the third is on Transforming Your Relationship with Your Thoughts, the fourth is about Beliefs and Values,  with fifth, Communication and last a chapter entitled Your Confident Future.  In addition there is a list of resources at the back of the book. 

The author shares her personal journey in the introduction.  She has clearly suffered and moved to a better way of living her life, breaking away from addiction toward understanding and becoming a therapist after returning to school in her 40s.

This book is grounded in the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) nad Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).  Both involve well known and respected therapeutic methods.  The book also includes many quizzes and other activities that focus on understanding one's self and being able to make positive changes.

The author relates to the reader in a conversational style.  She makes it easy for the reader to consider her points without becoming defensive.

All in all, I found this book to be an excellent resource.  It could be used on its own or perhaps used together with a therapist. Buy it if you would like to feel anywhere from a bit to a lot better about yourself.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Boost
Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2019
This book is perfect for anyone looking to boost their self esteem. It won't happen overnight but this book is broken into five weeks and over the span of that time readers will read eight chapters, learn to use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), turn inward and reflect on the myriad of lessons and real life scenarios found in this book. This short book is a guide to help readers confront the ever present, ever judgy inner voice and learn to control their relationship with their thoughts. It's not preachy or too demanding and readers can go at their own pace and create their own flow. Perfect for teens and adults who need a little help and guidance on feeling better about themselves. A wonderful guide!

5.0 out of 5 stars Speaks my Language
Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2019
I've skimmed through this book, and am preparing to delve into the "5 weeks". She speaks my language, isolating those inner self-sabotaging critical voices. She uses a SMART system (mentioned in the graphics above) to break down details, and isolates "types" of self-saboteurs. I love how she compares stone age fight-or-flight with modern self-criticism. Her focus on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) mixed with acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) allows one to compassionately look within, while remaining honest with oneself. I will report back when I complete the 5 weeks! Looks wonderful so far! Thanks, Callisto, for the review copy!

5.0 out of 5 stars A well laid out manual to improve one's self-confidence
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2019
Lynn Matti's book "5 Weeks To Self-Confidence" is a well thought out plan to help the young and old feel better about themselves. I enjoyed reading her techniques on how to build up a person's self-esteem so they can be more productive in their lives. Her weekly quizzes and activities are a helpful way to learn more about oneself. Her suggestions on how to put these techniques to use in the real world were also very useful.
