KathyReid reviewed How Confidence Works by Ian Robertson
None
5 stars
This deeply-researched, authoritative, broad-reaching, insightful and compelling book unpacks the concept of confidence across multiple frames - the pillars of confidence, gender-based differences and contrasts in national confidence between countries.
Casting confidence as a resource that pays compounding dividends, Robertson shows how it is a foundational component of success in career, relationships and other aspects of life. Robertson sees action as the key fuel for confidence - moving from a deliberative to an implemental mindset - breaking down intent into concrete, specific, do-able actions.
A strong recommend for people exploring the theoretical, research-grounded basis of confidence - and those to want to apply those findings to their everyday life.
