The Confidence Code

"The Confidence Code" explores the concept of confidence, particularly in women, emphasizing that confidence is a skill rather than a trait. It highlights how belief in oneself is developed through action, experience, and education. The authors, Katty Kay and Claire Shipman, argue that many individuals underestimate their capabilities and that societal norms can influence self-perception. By encouraging people to take risks, embrace failure, and pursue growth, the book illustrates that confidence can be cultivated, leading to greater success in personal and professional spheres. Ultimately, it advocates for a proactive approach to building self-assurance.
