Self-Help & Personal Development review
Overcoming Self-Doubt review
A $17.99 ebook on self-doubt, one of three near-identical confidence titles from the same seller.
Pass
The seller offers three titles on the same psychological ground, this one, How to Build Self-Esteem and Confidence, and Rewire Your Brain for Confidence, with overlapping contents lists and three different invented doctorates between them: Self-Esteem Psychology, Confidence Psychology and Confidence Psychology again. Buying more than one means paying repeatedly for the same chapter. The underlying technique, challenging negative thoughts, is drawn from cognitive therapy and does help people, which is why the free structured workbooks from health services are the better route: they include the exercises and a way to measure whether anything is changing.

One of three on the same ground
Formation, challenging thoughts, resilience exercises, routines and setbacks.
Two other titles from this seller cover the same material with different invented degrees.
The free versions are structured
Health service workbooks give graded exercises and progress measures.
Those are the parts that make cognitive techniques work, and this file promises neither.
The co-author's degree does not exist
The listing credits Dr. Claudia Martin with a PhD in Self-Esteem Psychology and 34 years of experience. No university awards a doctorate in that, and it is the pattern across all 84 titles from this seller: each book gets its own doctor with a PhD in exactly that book's subject.
Three of those names appear twice with different doctorates and different decades of experience, so the credentials are generated rather than held.
The rest of the numbers are decoration
Claims 346000+ readers, although the seller has no website, no catalogue page and no way to check. The $47 regular price sits next to $17.99 on every title in the catalogue and is never charged.
The reviews carry first names and US or European cities, which cannot be verified either.

Overcoming Self-Doubt FAQ
How is it different from the seller's other confidence titles?
Barely; the contents overlap.
Is it therapy?
No; it borrows cognitive ideas without the structure or measures.
How much does it cost?
$17.99 as a one-time payment, with no sales tax added for a US address.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, the order form shows a 60-day money-back window.
Who wrote it?
The listing credits Ayesha Sarwar, with Dr. Claudia Martin as co-author. Neither has a verifiable profile, and the doctorate given is not a real academic field.
