Another review of this awesome book!
This book is divided into two sections. The first section is about
'developing life-long confidence' and is like a long-term action plan.
This half of the book covers topics such as tackling doubts and niggles
('automatic negative thoughts' is what the author calls them) which I
found useful. There's a chapter on positive body language too, which
contained some gems of instruction on controlling your breathing in
order to control how you feel and come across.
The first half of
the book explains things in more depth, while the second section of the
book is a series of short chapters containing 10 key points on tackling
key topics. It'll help you to understand if this book could be useful
to you if I list all of the topics covered:
~ Confident public speaking and presentations
~ Confident conversations and socialising
~ Confident dating
~ Confident meetings at work and networking
~ Confident job interviews
~ Confident life change
~ Handling conflict with confidence
~ Health, fitness and body confidence
~ Quick confidence
I found these short, targeted chapters very useful too.
Writing
style of the book is clear and encouraging without being patronising.
If you like to understand why you should use a particular technique, the
author sometimes mentions snippets of resarch to back up his
recommendations too. Great book!
