The Confidence Factor: Cosmic Gooses Lay Golden Eggs

As an author of a similar kind of book, NEVER GOOD ENOUGH: Discover the Treasure of Self-Acceptance, I am well aware of the importance of this difficult and elusive universal condition. Someone who had read my book suggested I read this one and it proved to right on -- invaluable. The world needs more books like these. And, isn't it refreshing to discover that people throughout our world, both men and women, struggle with this same issue.

I was in a rut, scared and irritated with life. After a strong recommendation from a friend, I read The Confidence Factor. Wow. This book is not only about the philosophy of confidence, but actual ways to address my personal situations. Because of the insights Dr. Briles shared, I now surround myself with respected and positive people. I admit my failures and faults -- I am NOT the only goof. There's a whole world of them/us out there! I carry on knowing I am smarter for the experience and for the next time! I treat others better and with more respect. This is then returned to me. The list goes on...This book has helped me reevaluate my actions (to myself AND others) resulting in positive changes in my life during a very difficult (and at the time, I thought Impossible!) period. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!

My brother was recently laid off. I bought him this book because his self-esteem was at an all time low. After reading the book, the change in him was was significant. Dr. Briles has a way of cutting through the fluff with without being harsh. I'm buying lots more books for graduation gifts. Wish I'd been given this book when I graduated. Jean Kelley

Well, Dr. Briles has done it again. Her insight cuts through the usual psycho-babble and gets right to what matters most to us as human beings. This book gives us the boost we need to go out there and do what matters most to us. No more trying to meet the expectations of others first. She has really made me think and evaluate my life.

The author is a dynamic speaker and gifted with a reader friendly style. Her 10 Steps to Building Confidence are relevant and practical. Each uses stories from men and women--some highly visible, some who you would meet at a neighborhood party. The Confidence Quiz is a kick. This book has far more substance than Who Moved My Cheese. I liked it because I could read it within a few hours.
