She tells listeners that in order to join a Cambridge debate club, she had to overcome her fear of having a heavy Greek accent. In a nutshell, that's both the tenor and flaw of this book. Huffington might have done better to work on overcoming her accent than the fear of it. To her credit, she reads her book slowly and carefully, and almost all of her words can be understood by even the casual listener. A larger problem is that the message of overcoming fears about beauty, competition in love and so forth probably comes across better in a written text. Not fitting into society's prescriptions does have real consequences, whether one is fearless or not. Nevertheless, women who finish Huffington's mantra might feel better about who they are, even if they are listening while having their bodies waxed. Copyright© American Library Association.

Sounding candid and humble, she tells listeners that she once had her own insecurities to overcome. With her charming accent and more vocal connectivity than one senses in her TV appearances, she also reminds women of the real-world threats and emotional sinkholes many women face. As a person, she is persuasive as she encourages self-reflection and stability in the face of criticism--internal or external. Her security with these ideas creates a low-key message that is inviting rather than imposing. T.W. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
