Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * Order the paperback version of this book and get the ebook for free* I see a lot of self help videos and books telling people to "stand straight" or "look people in the eye" in order to look more confident. But you don't want to look more confident do you? You actually want to BE more confident, to feel it deep inside you. This is exactly how I felt when I was starting to research self-confidence. I thought to myself: "Ok, I'll look people in the eye when I talk but, what do I say?" Sure, I'll speak up more in meetings, but how? When the voice inside my head is going crazy about how I might sound weird or the question I'm asking might sound dumb. My problem wasn't that I was struggling with "getting out of my comfort zone" or "speaking up more" it was more my inner voice worrying and overthinking. An inner voice that was holding me back from my true potential. In fact, it might sound contradictory but, inside my own head I was pretty confident. I liked who I was as a person, I was just introverted and didn't feel the need to fake a personality or fake interest in a conversation if I wasn't feeling like engaging. This left me being the quiet one in the room and although I was sure of who I was as a person, I felt like people were thinking that I was too quiet or shy. So is confidence about how I feel? Or how they see me? These are the questions I wanted to answer in my book. What does TRUE confidence really mean and how does it feel. I knew it wasn't just about looking taller or having the loudest voice in the room, so what was it REALLY about? and how can I get THAT. So I created my book, The Mindset of Confidence. There's nothing in this book about trying to "appear" to be confident, it's about figuring out what confidence really is, how it really feels and how you can truly acheive confidence from within. This book includes: A look into my personal battle with being introverted/shy and how that can co-exist with confidence A secret method that I created that allows you to look confident without feeling like you're prentending to be someone you're not An action plan you can take to fight overthinking and the destructive inner voice that kills confidence A plan of attack for how you can take the methods in the book and actually apply them to your real life When I discovered what true confidence really meant, it was a complete game changer. I no longer have to have that battle in my head about being introverted or shy while also being confident. I can honestly say that I am both introverted and confident and I don't have to pretend to be outgoing and extroverted to feel confident and show confidence to others. If you'd like to achieve this level of true inner confidence, I urge you to grab a copy of my book The Mindset of Self Confidence today.

Download or read book Quiet written by Susan Cain and published by Crown. This book was released on 2013-01-29 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Experience the book that started the Quiet Movement and revolutionized how the world sees introverts—and how introverts see themselves—by offering validation, inclusion, and inspiration “Superbly researched, deeply insightful, and a fascinating read, Quiet is an indispensable resource for anyone who wants to understand the gifts of the introverted half of the population.”—Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY People • O: The Oprah Magazine • Christian Science Monitor • Inc. • Library Journal • Kirkus Reviews At least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over working in teams. It is to introverts—Rosa Parks, Chopin, Dr. Seuss, Steve Wozniak—that we owe many of the great contributions to society. In Quiet, Susan Cain argues that we dramatically undervalue introverts and shows how much we lose in doing so. She charts the rise of the Extrovert Ideal throughout the twentieth century and explores how deeply it has come to permeate our culture. She also introduces us to successful introverts—from a witty, high-octane public speaker who recharges in solitude after his talks, to a record-breaking salesman who quietly taps into the power of questions. Passionately argued, impeccably researched, and filled with indelible stories of real people, Quiet has the power to permanently change how we see introverts and, equally important, how they see themselves.

So, how can you gain resilience in a society that is so often toxic and unwelcoming? In this important workbook, you’ll discover how to cultivate the key components of resilience: holding a positive view of yourself and your abilities; knowing your worth and cultivating a strong sense of self-esteem; effectively utilizing resources; being assertive and creating a support community; fostering hope and growth within yourself, and finding the strength to help others.

By learning to challenge internalized negative messages and remove obstacles from your life, you can build the resilience you need to embrace your truest self in an imperfect world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the early 1990s, a small group of "AIDS denialists," including a University of California professor named Peter Duesberg, argued against virtually the entire medical establishment's consensus that the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was the cause of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Science thrives on such counterintuitive challenges, but there was no evidence for Duesberg's beliefs, which turned out to be baseless. Once researchers found HIV, doctors and public health officials were able to save countless lives through measures aimed at preventing its transmission"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn the tools to shed your mask of extroversion, develop your own magnetism, and reveal the true you. One third to one half of Americans are introverts in a culture that celebrates—even enforces—an ideal of extroversion and a cult of personality.

The Irresistible Introvert embodies the spirit of this revival and breaks down the myth that charisma is reserved for extroverts only. This mini manifesto shows introverts how to master the art of quiet magnetism in a noisy world—no gregariousness required! Within these pages, you’ll discover how to shed the mask of extroversion and reveal a more compelling (and authentic) you.

In the process, you’ll learn to embrace your “innie life” and discover potential you never knew you had.
