We want it. We need it. Is confidence hardwired into the DNA of a lucky few, or can anyone learn it? Which is more important: confidence or competence? Why do so many women, even the most successful, struggle with feelings of self-doubt? Is there a secret to channeling our inner confidence? Let's explore this informative and go through this practical guide to understanding the importance of confidence - and learning how to achieve it! Working women today are better educated and more well-qualified than ever before. Yet men still predominate in the corporate world. In The Confidence Code, Claire Shipman and Katty Kay argue that the key reason is confidence. This book goes beyond the advice to lean in. Instead, they offer the inspiration and practical advice we need to close the gap and achieve the careers we want and deserve. Let's learn from world’s leading psychologists who explain how we can all choose to become more confident simply by taking action and embracing risk, and how those actions change our physical wiring. They examine how a lack of confidence impacts our leadership, success, and fulfillment. Ultimately, they argue, while confidence is partly influenced by genetics, it is not a fixed psychological state. That’s the good news. Bottom line is you won’t discover confidence by thinking positive thoughts or by telling yourself (or your children) that you are perfect as you are. You also won’t find it by simply standing tall and faking it. But it does require a choice: less people pleasing and perfectionism and more action, risk taking, and fast failure. On all levels, our talents are not being fully realized. We as women are stalling because, all too often, we don’t see, or can’t even envision, what’s possible, strive for perfection fear failure, or people please.    HIGHLIGHT:   For a full book highlight and worksheet go to Book Club at:  https://www.andreaseydel.com SUBSCRIBE, COMMENT, REVIEW & SHARE: (Spread Happiness) If you like my channel and my book highlights, like and share us on social media:  https://www.instagram.com/livelifehappy_as https://www.facebook.com/LiveLifeHappyCommunity If you love books and knowledge, subscribe to the channel for more upcoming book summaries.
