Publisher's Summary
Too many of us miss out on opportunities in life because we lack self-confidence. Whether it's public speaking, taking on a leadership role, or asking someone for a date, there are situations in which we just don't feel equipped to handle the challenges we face. Russ Harris offers a surprising solution to low self-confidence, shyness, and insecurity: Rather than trying to "get over" our fears, he says, the secret is to form a new and wiser relationship with them. Paradoxically, it's only when we stop struggling against our fearfulness that we begin to find lasting freedom from it. Drawing on the techniques of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a cutting-edge form of cognitive-behavioral therapy, The Confidence Gap explains how to: Free yourself from common misconceptions about what confidence is and how to build it; transform your relationship with fear and anxiety; clarify your core values and use them as your inspiration and motivation; use mindfulness to effectively handle negative thoughts and feelings.

Great approach to confidence
I really enjoyed the ACT approach towards building confidence. Being Mindful of your own thoughts! My biggest complaint is I wanted to take a look at the resources the author said were at the end of the book but I could not find them on this audiobook. Can someone help me? I will change my rating to 5 stars if I can be helped.

Exceedingly pragmatic
This is an excellent book with a lot of practical and helpful tools. It doesn't stop at theory but provides methods for developing self confidence. The sheer amount of tools, terms, and acronyms are a bit overwhelming, so the book should be read slowly and intentionally, with time to stop and think.

A helpful perspective
As an artist, this book has been immensely helpful. I’ve spent years practicing and improving on artistic techniques but had never thought of applying the same level of discipline to practicing and improving on my confidence, especially around negotiating contracts and public speaking at gallery events. The messages of self-awareness, living by your values, setting goals and getting “unhooked” become clearer and more meaningful as they are repeated, elaborated on, and reinforced throughout the book. #Audible1

An excellent book to find true confidence!
This was pure gold, and not just your usual, "you can do it, just put your mind to it!". Finding the real reasons why you may lack confidence helps one to make a strategy to move forward. Very well read as well.

A real game changer
I will read every single book written by Dr Harris. Before investing time,money and energy to other overrated books on motivation, confidence and pseudo happiness, one should read this book. I wish I had known about the book earlier.

A great read. Recommended to all!
I will definitely read this book again. There were many insightful thoughts and pieces of advice in this book. Everything was very well explained and the wrote book you can print from Russ’ website is very helpful as well. Definitely a great book for anyone to read as at some point in our lives we all struggle with confidence and feeling like we aren’t good enough.
