Confidence: The Surprising Truth About How Much you Need and How to Get it Book Information:

at the key to success in life and business is confidence: believe in yourself and the world is your oyster. But building confidence can be a challenging task. And, as leading psychologist Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic argues in his first book for a general audience, confidence can actually get in the way of achievement, self-esteem is nothing without the competence, the core skills, to back it up. Confidence is feeling capable. Competence is being capable. None of the figures whose success is put down to supreme self-belief. Barack Obama, Madonna, Muhammad Ali could have achieved their goals without the hard-won skills and years of training behind the confidence mask. Successful people are confident because of their success and not the other way around. On your way to the top, self-doubt will improve your ability to learn from your mistakes, be critical of your own weaknesses and master skills in problem areas. Whether you want to improve your social skills, get a promotion or that all-important first job, this game-changing exploration of how to build success, in the mould of Robert Cialdini's Influence, Susan Cain's Quiet and Steven Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, will change the way you think about achievement. Key Features: This startling re-evaluation of the role of self-belief in success, from a leading professor of business psychology and based on the latest scientific research, explores why increasing your confidence is less important than building your competence. A surprising new take on confidence, with something to learn for the meek and the super-confident alike A leading psychologists advice on finding success in business and your personal life, drawn from the latest scientific research on confidence Find out how to balance confidence and competence for a successful career "Chamorro-Premuzic has rethought confidence -shattering myths about what generates confidence but also reassessing low confidence as a positive attribute. A fresh, more balanced, approach, presented in a well-researched, accessible and, indeed, enjoyable format. I like this book: a lot." Robert Kelsey, international bestselling author of Whats Stopping You? 'Confidence nails it if you want to achieve great things, you are better off being your own worst critic than your own biggest fan. Read this book and you will never look at the concept of self-esteem the same way again." Laura Vanderkam, author of What the Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast
