Be Yourself, Everyone Else Is Taken: Transform Your Life with the Power of Authenticity

Mike Robbins, , read by the author. . Brilliance, $24.99 (0pp) ISBN 978-1-4233-7598-2

This uplifting self-help offering from motivational speaker and life coach Robbins promises to change lives by allowing listeners to overcome their poor self-esteem and apprehensions to realize their true selves. Robbins delivers a stern, far too straightforward reading that is at times rushed and manufactured. Listeners will be hard-pressed to reap the benefits of the positive message as listening becomes a monotonous chore, with Robbins failing to inject the reading with fun, comedy or even the slightest shred of personality. A Jossey-Bass hardcover (Reviews, May 4). (May)
