Klappentext

A therapeutic and inspiring workbook with exercises to build confidence

The difference between a successful and a disappointing life often comes down to a critical ingredient that we overlook at our peril: confidence.

This is a book with a practical purpose: to take us through exercises that help us rediscover the confidence we all already have inside us--the confidence that we have neglected out of habit, fear or meekness. It's a faculty we are all endowed with and confidence can flourish with the right kind of practice and encouragement.

This workbook contains over fifty exercises that flex our confident faculties and guide us to greater effectiveness in our relationships, in our working lives and in our approach to ourselves. This includes a Self-Esteem Audit to identify what we might have gone through in our early lives, asking questions such as: Do you think you are essentially a good person? Were your parents essentially supportive or not? Do you hate or like being you? There are sections focusing on confidence in relationships, friendships, and at work.

This is a tool to unlock our latent powers - and help us become who we long, and deserve, to be.
