'Confidence nails it. You will never look at the concept of self-esteem the same way again.'

Laura Vanderkam, author of What the Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast

We're always told that the key to success in life, love and business is confidence: believe in yourself and the world is your oyster. But supreme self-belief is nothing without cast-iron competence. No one whose success is put down to confidence - not Donald Trump, not Muhammad AN -- could have achieved their goals without the skills to back it up.

As leading psychologist Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic argues in this myth-busting, eye-opening rethink of the value of self-belief, confidence is at best just a mask for our insecurities; at worst, it's a dangerous self-delusion. So drop the act and pick up Confidence to find out how our insecurities can make us stronger, why most confident people are deluded and what we need to succeed if it's not confidence.

'Confidence is a life-changing book - it will convince you that much of the advice you've been given on how to be successful is worse than useless. Before you read anything else, read Confidence.'

Heidi Grant Halvorson, author of Focus and Succeed

Industry Reviews

Chamorro-Premuzic has rethought confidence - a fresh, more balanced, approach, presented in a well-researched, accessible, and, enjoyable format. I like this book: a lot -- Robert Kelsey
Confidence nails it - read this book and you will never look at the concept of self-esteem the same way again -- Laura Vanderkam
Persuasive ... fantastically sensible -- Lucy Kellaway * Financial Times *
I can't remember the last time I finished reading a book and wanted to applaud. Confidence is a life-changing book - it will convince you -- Heidi Grant Halvorson
Maybe you have always intuited, as most sensitive people do, that all the talk about boosting self-confidence and raising self-esteem is not the answer to success or happiness. This charming and thoroughly fact-based book will give you the evidence to back your wisdom, that being kind and competent works best. -- Elaine Aron, author of 'The Highly Sensitive Person' and 'The Undervalued Self'
