How to Be Confident: The No.1 Sunday Times Bestseller

Product Information

From two times number one Sunday Times bestselling author, James Smith, comes How to Be Confident – the third instalment in James’ no-nonsense guides to gaining the tools to empower your decision-making and change your life.

Maybe thinks it is more trustworthy and down to earth to sound like a geezer at the pub trying to convince you he's your mate, but it doesn't go over well for me. If you’re already knowledgeable about psychology then maybe this will be too basic, but it’s been useful in helping me to become more self-aware and realising how my mind has built up some unhelpful habits. One thing I like about James Smith is he never claims to be some supper academic, in fact he regularly states how normal or a “fuck up” he has been in his life. Overall some really interesting points and positive advice, really easy to digest and covered a lot of hefty science and psychology. Don’t overwhelm yourself with change- small changes- too big and you’ll get overwhelmed and give up.I found James Smith on TikTok, where he eloquently (and confidently) explained the Swimmer's Body Illusion in a fitness context. Well, fear not: no matter how low you feel it is possible to overcome vicious cycles in your mood and behaviour. It doesn’t hide difficult or uncomfortable issues, but shares experiences that are true and often raw.

I've read most of the books Smith names in the movie and he uses them very liberally to build a not-so-convincing argument. In this book, Rimes chronicles the year she spent saying yes to every single thing that scared her -- and inspires readers to do the same. Inspiring quotes from a wide range of sources, such as Maya Angelou, Martin Luther King Jr, Dame Kelly Holmes and Oprah Winfrey. If you're a non-academic, straight white male seeking confidence, then I would say this could be a great read for you. There are many points that seem contradictory from some sections, and reading cover to cover felt like it lost some direction.While it’s not a roadmap or checklist of how to be confident, James does a good job of listing out examples from his experience on how to be more confident. Ok, so, long story short - I’ve never actually read James’ other books but what he says on social media resonates with me so I decided to give this one a shot. I think the way it was stitched together could have been more thoughtful, that way the framework would have helped the information connect better and reinforced the lessons throughout.

I, on the other hand, learned I must be incredibly confident if I’m not afraid to go to the gym or talk to people. I would say, this has made me feel a lot more confident that if James Smith can do it, I can also do it. The third number one bestselling instalment in James' no-nonsense guides to gaining the tools to empower your decision-making and change your life.

In chapters with titles like "Love The One You Is" and "Your Brain Is Your Bitch," she dives into concepts like self-perception, spirituality, healthy views of money, meditation and purpose, all via accessible language and actionable how-tos.
