How to Succeed at Being Yourself: Finding the Confidence to Fulfill Your Destiny by Joyce Meyer (1999, Book)

In her usual good nature & earthiness, Meyer gives advice on how to just be yourself. Throwing out the usual psychobabble, she dives right into an admonition to approach life with honesty & the courage to be who we are, & to DO what we are. Though I am not overly fond of Meyer, I did find this to be a nice read, due mostly to her straightforward approach to the subject.
