Confidence: Finding It and Living It

Did you ever experience something that afterwards you felt you were destined to experience? Well reading this book was one of those experiences for me. Now I am a fairly confident person or, at least I thought so prior to taking on this quick little read. However, what I learned was that my definition of confidence was only skimming the surface of what confidence really is and I never understood just how deep and extensive a reach confidence has on all aspects of our lives. I simply didn't give it that much thought. While I see my life as wonderful and I've accomplished a lot, it was no wonder why I felt certain areas of my life were not progressing to the degree that I felt they should be. Hmmm a confidence issue? I would have never believed it in a million years. Anyway back to the book. The author does a masterful job at not only defining confidence but, then takes you down a path to help you identify your saboteurs and develop "true" confidence. This book is definitely worth the read. It just may surprise you the way it did me.

I read a lot of books and I'm sad to see this ranking so low. I myself avoided reading "Confidence" for years thinking it was only fluff. I was, fortunately, wrong. Deangelis delivers a life-changing message in this book- we only have confidence in ourselves when we are doing what we are good at. Deangelis' "Confidence" is about learning how to trust yourself so that you can experience the feeling of confidence more often. What would you now do if you had enough "confidence" in yourself or courage to take the risk? Buy this book, high-light pages and refer to them as needed. Do not deprive the world of your gifts because you don't have enough confidence in yourself.

This book has changed my life! I have been unable to put it down. De Angelis relates so well to the reader and gives examples which hit very close to home. I could not believe the impact this book had on my life almost instantly. I thank her for sharing her insight and for revealing the simple, yet profound key to gaining true self confidence forever.

I normally loan out books, but this one, I hold on to. I keep it by my bedside and read my highlighted passages whenever I have a bad day or feel frustrated with myself.

"Confidence; Finding It and Living It" is the most powerful "self-help" book I've read in some time. If you "want the answer right now" (which is usually the case), this little power-packed, right-to-the-point book will show you the way, step-by-easy-step. In this busy day and age, I appreciated being able to get Dr. De Angelis' point in the quick hour it took to read this book. This is definately a book I will carry with me, read again and again, and share with those I care about! I am looking forward to reading other books by Barbara De Angelis.
