P.S. Have you read the book already?
If you did, it would mean a lot if you left a review on Amazon.
Amazon reviews are largely how people choose what to buy these days. And by sharing your honest opinion, you'd help someone decide if the book is for them or not.
Thank you!

Having led hundreds of people through annual reviews, I’ve been astonished at how much of an impact it’s had on their self-understanding, self-acceptance, self-confidence, and ultimately, their self-efficacy in accomplishing their goals.
