Publisher's Summary

World-renowned personality expert reveals the truth about something we all want more of - confidence.

Millions of people are plagued by low self-confidence. But in Confidence, personality expert Dr. Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic shows us that high confidence makes us less likeable, less employable, and less successful in the long run. He reveals the benefits of low confidence (including being more motivated and self-aware), teaches us how to know when to fake it, get ahead at work, improve our social skills, feel better emotionally and physically, and much more.

With this engaging, practical study of our minds and emotions, we can become more capable in every facet of life. Based on decades of research, including the author's own groundbreaking work, and filled with fascinating anecdotal evidence, this will appeal to listeners of The Willpower Instinct by Kelly McGonigal and Succeed by Heidi Grant Halvorson. Confidence will shatter every myth you've ever believed about self-confidence and its effects on us - ranging from the very personal to the global level.

rational look at confidence.

it was a good, fresh, rational view on confidence, if a little repetitive. The idea that competence trumps confidence is very true and motivating for those with low confidence, when the only rational fix is better preparation, not to magical thinking to "wish" yourself better.

Underrated and Misunderstood

The book challenges a lot of our beliefs which is why so many dislike the book. It's important for everyone to know that Tomas is not saying anxiety and depression is good, he is not saying confidence is bad, he is not saying that you should only listen to what others say, he isn't even saying pessimism is all good. He is trying to bring balance to a set of unbalanced beliefs we have.
