Publisher's Summary
A thought-provoking essay that teaches us that confidence is not a gift from the gods, but a skill that can be learned.
We spend vast amounts of time acquiring confidence in narrow technical fields: quadratic equations or bioengineering; economics or pole vaulting. But we overlook the primordial need to acquire a more free-ranging variety of confidence - one that can serve us across a range of tasks: speaking to strangers at parties, asking someone to marry us, suggesting a fellow passenger turn down their music, changing the world.
This is a guidebook to confidence, why we lack it and how we can acquire more of it in our lives. On Confidence walks us gently and wryly around the key issues that stop us from making more of our potential.

A must read
This book calls out a number of wrong or misplaced notions and conclusions we tend to carry about several experiences we go through that leads us to be under confident. The book helps readdress all these notions in the light of new perspectives that can not only help us be ourselves and therefore confident, it will encourage us into the inquiry of other behavious too. Important for youngsters to read as they navigate life and for middle aged people too to gain back their selves.
