The content is immensely relatable and the book is packed with quick, science-backed takeaways."--Dr. Alice Boyes, author of The Anxiety Toolkit and The Healthy Mind Toolkit " Dr. Markway's book deftly integrates sound, evidence-based principles and applies them to the challenge of promoting self-confidence.

Some self-help books can come across like they're written for teenagers, but this one feels like it's written for adults, and like the authors are your partners on your journey. It's a good mix of short explanations, written exercises and behavioral challenges that are all based on sound research."--Alice Boyes, Ph.D., author of The Healthy Mind Toolkit and The Anxiety Toolkit About the Author BARBARA MARKWAY, PhD, is a licensed psychologist with nearly 30 years of experience and is the author of four other books.
