Unshrink Yourself By Best-Selling Author Thanh Nguyen Earns Coveted Starred Review from Kirkus Reviews

Loving Heart Publishing is pleased to announce that the new international best-selling book, Unshrink Yourself: 12 Mini-Shifts to Ditch Self-Doubt and Own Your Life has received a starred review from Kirkus Reviews. Known as one of the most significant honors in the book industry, the Kirkus Star marks a work of exceptional merit.

 

Calling the book, “A practical guide to building authentic confidence through incremental change,” Kirkus Reviews says that “Nguyen offers a road map for readers ready to start becoming who they want to be.”

 

They go on to say that “The book’s strength lies in its clear-eyed realism about what confidence actually is: “real confidence is quieter” (it’s about knowing who you are rather than shouting about how great you are).”

 

Kirkus concludes with a two-word verdict: "Get it."
