Confidence is a skill that anyone can learn.
Despite the confidence we build over time in our field of work, we tend to overlook the primordial need for a more free ranging variety of confidence – one that can serve us in the course of our everyday lives: speaking to strangers at parties, asking someone to marry us, asking someone on the train to turn down their music, changing the world.
This is a guidebook to confidence, why we lack it, and how we can gain more if it in our lives. On Confidence walks us gently through key issues that hold us back, and gives us the tools we need to fulfil our potential.
