Format:Paperback
Somehow I managed to pluck the confidence to leave a successful 12 year career to chase a dream and go back to school with people half my age. When I got there I found out that a 22 year lay off from study made things a tad more challenging than I had envisioned. My confidence soon reached rock bottom and I was left picking up the pieces? Then I picked up "Building Self-Confidence for Dummies" in a bookstore and within 5 minutes of reading I purchased it. It got me right back on track with simple easy to follow step by step advice. Shortly afterwards I got straight A's for the first time in my life.

Without confidence we will be unable to maximise personal and professional performance and this book makes a very significant contribtion to this area of personal development. Unfortunately we all suffer from a lack of confidence at some time or other in our lives and usually due to circumstances that are completely outside our control! Building Confidence for Dummies provides a set of tools and techniques to get you back on track. I often pick it up and just notice what attracts me at any particular time and I then work on a specific area. The book is set out in a way that the reader can either browse or focus on a particular aspect which they feel may need attention at any moment in time. This book is a must for anyone who wants to make a difference in the world and achieve their full potential.

I can't remember how many copies of this book I have bought to give to people who are struggling to regain lost confidence or people lost within themselves unable to find their natural confidence. Well written, it's a great 'pick up/put down' book which seems to always fall open at the relevant page every time I open it! It's full of good advice and serves as a reminder of things long forgotten when you find yourself in a confidence dilemma. There are things to do and work on, tips and a wonderful collection of case studies which are helpful and useful for identifying with the situations described. I believe this book is a 'must' for anyone looking to regain or boost confidence and consequently get more out of life. This book accompanies me through life and has become a good friend.

Surprisingly poor for the Dummies books
The Dummies books are generally quite good guides, but I think that this book is one of the weakest I've come across in the series. Read more

Seriously flawed
I think this book is seriously flawed. It does not deserve even one star, because it's cashing in on peoples' weaknesses. Even the title "Confidence for Dummies" is a bad start. Read more
