THE CONFIDENCE CODE - KATTY KAY CLAIRE SHIPMAN ...

Confidence. We want it. We need it. But it can be maddeningly enigmatic and out of reach. The
authors of the New York Times bestseller Womenomics deconstruct this essential  elusive  and
misunderstood quality and offer a blueprint for bringing more of it into our lives. Is
confidence hardwired into the DNA of a lucky few?or can anyone learn it? Is it best expressed
by bravado  or is there another way to show confidence? 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? In The Confidence Code 
journalists Katty Kay and Claire Shipman travel to the frontiers of neuroscience on a hunt for
the confidence gene and reveal surprising new research on its roots in our brains. They visit
the world's leading psychologists who explain how we can all chose to become more confident
simply by taking action and courting risk  and how those actions change our physical wiring.
They interview women leaders from the worlds of politics  sports  the military  and the arts to
learn how they have tapped into this elemental resource. 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. You
won't discover it 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 squaring your shoulders and faking
it. But it does require a choice: less people pleasing and perfectionism and more action  risk
taking  and fast failure. Inspiring  insightful  and persuasive  The Confidence Code shows that
by acting on our best instincts and by daring to be authentic  women can feel the
transformative power of a life on confidence.
