About this ebook
What would you be like if no other person could shatter your confidence?
What would you do? Where would you go?
If you feel like fear and anxiety have some power over you, this will be the most important book you read this year.
Why not choose to live the next part of your life fear-free.
People with confidence are no better than you, it certainly doesn’t require talent to be confident.
We have all seen 14-year olds with confidence, so it can’t be anything to do with wisdom or intelligence.
Confident people think and act slightly differently, the ideas they adopt are easily acquired but very few do, the masses of humanity feel negative emotions wash over them on a daily basis.
Inside you will discover:
Why both optimism and pessimism can work against you.
Use your past to save yourself from present stressors
How a tiny shift in your attitude frees up a lot of wasted mental energy
Find out why everyone’s beliefs about society create, some self-harm
Find out when confidence can hurt you
And Much, Much More…
How many doors will you turn away from due to a lack of confidence?
How many of the things you want to do will remain dreams if you don’t make some changes?
How many risks will not be taken towards the things you really want to do?
If you don’t take back control of the feelings of panic, the sweaty hands, and all the negative talk inside your head you will be tormented by these things again and again.
All the practices we teach in the book are simple and easy to follow, they are made for people of all ages. None of what is taught in the book is a gimmick, trick, or hack type of strategy, those short-term moves don’t last.
Some of the advice has been practiced for thousands of years by the elites in almost all societies, Kings, business titans, leaders of all types.
I hope you take a chance and change your life for the better.
You can do this.

Introduction
Confidence. Everyone has it except for you. Your life would be so much better if only you had this magical, elusive thing called confidence. Do thoughts like these run through your mind on a daily basis? Are you searching for that elusive hack or trick that will boost your confidence to the stratosphere and create happiness and satisfaction in your life forever and ever?
Confidence, charisma, fearlessness, whatever you want to call it is one of the keys to success in life. There is no doubt about this. The world respects a person who is sure of themselves far more than someone who is possessed by doubt. What does true confidence look like, though?
Confidence permeates everything we do it affects our money, relationships, career, social interactions, and so on. This book aims to take a balanced look at what confidence really is and also give you a scientific context from which you can view things. All of us tend to get caught up with what’s going on in our lives and sometimes, we forget that we are biological beings who have been engineered a certain way.
I don’t mean to sound cold when I say this, but building confidence and charisma is a scientific process. Yes, there is emotion involved, but using your emotions in the right way is key to building confidence. Right now, you probably don’t understand how to do this. Here’s a quick test: Do you think fear is bad? You’re probably thinking that in some cases it’s justified. Well, how about anxiety? Now, we’re in murkier waters. Let me muddy them further: Do you think depression is a valid sentiment?
These are the sorts of questions, among others, that this book will answer for you. In order to build confidence, you need to understand who you are and where you want to go. In order to go somewhere, you need to know what that looks like. Here’s the catch though: Only you can define what that looks like. I can’t tell you exactly what your ultimate destination needs to be.
The good news is that you already know all of these things. See, there isn’t a cookie-cutter mold for confidence. Not every confident person is the same. You can be introverted and confident as much as a person can be extroverted and confident. You can be a loner and be secure with yourself or you can surround yourself with people and lack confidence.
A lot of confidence comes down to standards, and this is one of the areas I can guarantee you’re struggling with. Your lack of confidence is not a disease, it is but a symptom of something missing in your life. Broadly speaking, this is usually a case of a lack of boundaries and standards.
How do you define good behavior? How do you tell someone they’ve crossed the line? How do you monitor yourself? Confidence is not about having the world perceive you in a different way as much as it is about changing your perception of yourself.
This is the biggest obstacle that people refuse to look at: You don’t need to change the world. You need to change yourself. Self-examination will lead to all the answers you’ll ever need.
How to Use This Book
This book is not one of those texts that is going to scream and shout at you. You know you have a problem, and you need to step up and deal with it. ‘But it’s so hard!’ you might be thinking. Well, of course, it is. Why would you expect it to be easy? It’s hard to build confidence. In other news, the weather gets cold in the winter and hot in the summer.
You’ll start off by learning all about why a lack of confidence is a major problem for you. This isn’t a motivational lesson but is a factual look at how our societies are changing and how the accelerated pace of change actually undermines confidence. We’re dealing with a unique environment that no generation before us has had to deal with so in order to adjust, we need to first understand.
From there we’ll move onto the biology of confidence. How does your brain work? How does it create your world and how can you make it work for you? After this, we’re going to get into the meat of the book by looking at specific issues that cause a lack of confidence and how they debilitate you.
It isn’t enough to just know what your problems are. You need to know what your destination looks like, and this is what the chapter on what confidence looks like will teach you. Following this, you’ll learn about how you can get there via the last four chapters in this book, each of which addresses issues from a different point of view.
No matter where your issues lie, be it with your career or your romantic life or your social life, the underlying causes are the same. Instead of telling you exactly what’s wrong, my aim is to teach you how to figure it out for yourself. After all, you’re the only one you’ve got at the end of the day. This book will teach you to trust yourself more than anything else.
Which brings me to the most important point: This isn’t a book you just read. You need to do the things that are mentioned here. Anyone can read a few lines, feel good about themselves, and then go on doing the exact same thing. If feeling good is all you’re going to get out of this book, you’re not going to make progress.
This book is about making you ask uncomfortable questions about yourself. You need to pause and think about what is being said and then go out and practice the exercises listed. You need to build habits. Otherwise, this book will be of no use. Ultimately, it is you who can make this book a success or a failure.
This is a very good thing. You don’t need anyone except for yourself. You might not be able to see that right now, but trust me when I say this, you are more than capable of not only reaching where you want to go but exceeding that mental image of your ideal self you might have.
So buckle up because you’re going to start a life-changing ride!
Chapter 1: Good Ain’t Enough
Did you hear about Mike? Yeah, Mike was good at his job as a machine operator at the GM plant in Flint, MI. He was making good money, sent his kids to a good school, had a good home and a good life. Good, good, good and good.
Then the machines came and took his job. Poor Mike.
Good is an epidemic in this country at the moment. For the longest time, ‘good’ meant great thanks to the general prosperity that America witnessed after the world wars and the preeminent position of America’s economy. This is no longer the case though, now it’s adapt or die.
Change and Adaptation
Whether you realize it or not, we’re living through the biggest upheaval humanity has ever witnessed. The digital and technological revolution that has taken place since the advent of the internet has meant that this generation of people has witnessed more change in half a lifetime than multiple generations that came before. (Ritholtz, 2017).
Think about how the humble telephone has changed. We went from rotary dials to buttons on landline instruments (remember those?). Then we went to the first cell phone which was a brick with an antenna sticking out of it. Then came the tiny cell phones with buttons on them. They flipped, beeped, and survived a three-story fall.
In less than a decade, they were replaced by the smartphone, and now, the thing you hold in your hand is more powerful than the computer that sent Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins to the moon (Grossman, 2017). Society has changed rapidly and continues to do so as we speak.
It is now quite common for you to interact with a robot. What do you think an automated customer service phone line is? Don’t even get me started on Siri and Alexa. We’ve had a
