"Believe You Can, and You're Halfway There"

A collection of musings to motivate and inspire readers in need of a dose of self-confidence or a quick pick-me-up.

We all want to be the type of person who marches into a meeting brimming with self-confidence, who meets new people without thinking, “What do they think about me?”, who calmly looks over a room when making a killer speech and isn’t intimidated by all those eyes staring back. But all too often, crippling self-doubt creeps in. In this collection of self-esteem boosting mamixs and pithy, pocket-sized pep talks from successful people in a multitude of fields, this book says “you can do it!”
