Self-Confidence
In The Confidence Code, journalists Shipman and Kay travel to the frontiers of neuroscience on a hunt for the confidence gene and reveal surprising new research on its roots in our brains. Their investigation leads them to do their own genetic testing, with unexpected results. 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.
It has helped me understand how to control my lack in confidence and ways I can improve.
Anxiety
I have quite a strange reasoning behind finding this book to read, I was in Waterstones not that long ago after a really bad previous night’s sleep because of anxiety and insomnia. I wasn’t feeling myself and I bumped into a whole stand of this particular book around 15 of this one book fell around my feet all face up. I don’t normally believe in weird moments of fate however at that particular moment and after reading the cover I knew I had to buy it. It has helped so much and it gives examples of ways you can prevent over thinking, worry, stress, anxiety everything I suffer from.
