Description

An essential read for anyone who has encountered a crisis of confidence.
Where does self-confidence come from How does it work Why are some people more confident than others On the surface, these seem like simple questions but answers can feel hard to come by when we need them most.

In this bestselling book, Charles Ppin brings to light the strange alchemy that is self-confidence. Ppin examines the role confidence plays in the lives of our most respected public figures including the likes of Madonna, Mozart, Frieda Kahlo, Martin Luther King and Serena Williams, and argues that above all, to live a life of confidence is to live a life of action.

Drawing on the collective wisdom of philosophers, psychologists and the lives of people we encounter on a daily basis, Ppin invites us to probe the mystery and mastery of self-confidence.
