"Confidence - Finding It and Living It" by Barbara De Angelis PhD

This small hardcover book is a little boost of just what every reader needs. Tiny enough to fit inside a purse of workout bag, this book uses concise language to convey the truths of confidence we all must hear. The author explains what confidence is, going into multiple types of confidence. There is the confidence that one can do a task, the confidence that one can navigate personal relationships, and the confidence that one has purpose on this planet. While all three are important, the author emphasizes that the highest form of confidence is that which is not conditional. In other words, if you place your confidence in being a good lawyer, spouse, etc, when you get laid off or heaven-forbid divorced, your confidence shatters. However, when you have the true confidence that you can conquer any trial and that the Universe is working good things out for you, then you have truly mastered confidence.
