Self-Help & Personal Development review
The Self-Improvement Starter Kit review
A $17.99 general self-improvement ebook, credited to a doctor with a PhD in Self-Improvement Psychology.
Pass
A starter kit that covers habits, time management, focus, discipline and confidence in one short file is by definition an overview, and the seller sells separate books on nearly every one of those topics. The co-author's PhD in Self-Improvement Psychology is invented, and the same field appears on Self-Compassion in Hard Times with another doctor. As a first read it is harmless; as a purchase it is thin.

Everything at once
Habits, focus, discipline and confidence in one file.
Each topic gets little room.
Sold again separately
The seller also sells full titles on focus, discipline and confidence.
The starter kit overlaps with all of them.
The co-author's degree does not exist
The listing credits Dr. Lynn Abraham with a PhD in Self-Improvement Psychology and 32 years of experience. No university awards a doctorate in that, and it is the pattern across the more than 120 titles from this seller in our catalogue: 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 342000+ 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.

The bottom line
