This book starts with the assertion that confidence is not always about Feeling. It's about Doing. And I found myself saying At last! Someone's come out and said what we've always suspected, despite what the personal development gurus say. That confidence doesn't happen by saying inflated affirmations in front of a mirror. It happens by doing difficult things and realising you've done it. It comes from practice, doing things over and over again. And yes, at least at the beginning, it also comes from copying what people who appear confident do (like how to make body language and clothing work for you, or how to engage in small talk). This book is full of basic, yet practical tips that will little by little build your confidence - from the toolkit in chapter 2 - to the 63 confidence boosters in the final chapter. The idea is that you can pick and choose from the ideas that speak to you. A practical and simply written book for anyone wishing to nurture their sense of self.
