The Essential Guide to Confidence

What is Confidence? How do we become confident in the first place? How do we know if someone is really confident, or just pretending? What are the key attributes of a confident person? We are all aware of this common word, but not much is really known about Confidence and its true power. The Essential Guide To Confidence, a ground-breaking book that proposes a NEW THEORY of the nature of Confidence, removes the mystery surrounding the concept to reveal its meaning, origins, usefulness, and significance to our lives; how we can vastly improve our quality of life through boosting personal confidence, building self-esteem, and empowering ourselves in rewarding self-management. With Confidence being so pervasive, there is something for everyone among this book's pages, with the true nature of confidence explained in a way that has not been done before, including: - How Confidence is maintained; - Its strong connection to self-esteem and success, - How we lose Confidence - How Confidence controls relationships - How both perception and striving for perfection can damage it. In its easy, no-nonsense, conversational style, The Essential Guide to Confidence also provides self-assessment interactive quizzes that should help you establish your own level of personal Confidence, self-esteem, self-value, and happiness, as well as important tips on being assertive, more successful (for example at interviews), developing confident parenting, especially with teenagers, dealing with job loss and retirement, and ageing in a youthful, enjoyable, and confident manner. A must read, The Essential Guide To Confidence also includes a fascinating Confidence Survey, a first of its kind, with some informative and thought-provoking gender comparison results. If you've ever wondered what confidence is, how it can work for you, and the enormous benefits it carries, this is the book for you!
