Confidence in 40 Images
An inspiring curated selection of 40 photographs and artworks with accompanying essays examining the skill of confidence.
The difference between success and failure often comes down to an ingredient that we are seldom directly taught about and may forget to focus on: confidence.
Here is a supreme guide to a fatefully neglected quality – made up of a series of short essays that encourage us into a new and more fruitful state of mind. We hear why we should dare to try, why the past doesn’t have to dictate the future, why we can alter the way we speak to ourselves and why there are so many reasons to keep faith with our most ambitious aspirations.
The images that accompany each essay are there to ensure that we aren’t merely intellectually stirred to change our lives but are also given the best kind of visual assistance.
Within its modest size, this book succeeds at a mighty feat: unlocking our latent powers and edging us on with kindness and creativity to become the best version of ourselves.
