Confidence

About Confidence

If you have confidence, it can empower you to reach heights you never thought possible. If you don't, it can have a devastating effect on your future. Confidence lies at the core of what makes things happen.

Probing the science and neuroscience behind confidence that has emerged over the last decade, clinical psychologist and neuroscientist Professor Ian Robertson explains how confidence plays out in our minds, our brains and indeed our bodies. You’ll learn how confidence makes your brain work better, how it can combat anxiety and why practice makes perfect.

Discover where confidence comes from and how it spreads. And why it's not necessarily something you are born with, but something that can be learned.
