Why Your Confidence Is Mostly an Illusion
By Vera Mitchell
Length47m
About this audiobook
Self-assurance is so often just performance masking deep insecurity, and genuine confidence looks nothing like what society celebrates and rewards with admiration. This brutally honest examination reveals how true confidence actually emerges from demonstrated competence, acceptance of limitations, and comfort with inevitable uncertainty in life. Discover exactly why appearing confident and being confident are fundamentally different psychological states that shouldn't be confused or conflated with one another ever.
