An interesting memoir told in snippets of the author's life, about times they've overcome fear in one form or another. I enjoyed reading each story, and the takeaway the author had at the end of them. I thought the chapter breakdowns made sense, and if you're only interested in certain stories, it would be easy to skip right to those chapters. Although, I'm not entirely sure if I would personally label this as a self-help book. If inspirational stories are your preferred form of motivation to help make yourself better, then this would be perfect for you. If you're looking for a traditional self-help style book, this isn't that. Anyone who enjoys biographies is sure to enjoy this! ( )

This was an amazing book, filled with inspiring real life stories. I only only become aware of it when the author tweeted me, telling me that she was reading my debut novel, In the Middle. I then purchased her book out of respect for a fellow author. I started reading it the next day and I'm glad that I did purchase it and read it.

Starting with a great opening, Naked Determination is divided into forty-one short chapters, each one containing a life lesson that the author learned during the course of her life.

I wouldn't compare it to another self-help books because it doesn't read like one. Instead, reads like an autobiography and the lessons that the author learned in her life are very universal.

I would recommend this book to anyone who feels uncertainty about what they should do with their life. Reading it will give them the courage to follow their dreams. ( )
