Leave a Comment / what is self-confidence / By / ,

best self-help gurusHello everyone! Sometimes I share here my experience about well-established confidence experts, like for example I did with Russ Harris and his book on the four self-confidence traps. Today I want to point to a very special self-help guru, James Clear. He runs a high traffic self-development blog that gets over 1 million visits per month at jamesclear.com.

What’s special in James? His articles have a focus on habit and behavior change with scientific evidence and I like him so much because of this scientific “twist”. If you have read other top personal development gurus, you should have a try with James. You won’t be disappointed.

Leave a Comment / build self-confidence / By / , ,

Living with low self confidence is like being in prison. Having zero self confidence makes you feel weak. Unsure of your abilities.

You start trying relieving these bad feelings with short term pleasure strategies, like for example eating.

This attacks your self esteem. You feel weak and wrong.
