self-confidence. Those who read The Self-Confidence Workbook will

your goals (even if you don't know what they are yet), turn to The
Self-Confidence Workbook. Dr. Barbara Markway's book is like a
grown-up study guide for a course in self-acceptance and
compassion."--Hoku Krueger, "Self-Help Books for Beginners",

"I like it because: It's warm and nurturing, but still concise, to
the point, and intensely practical. 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
"In The Self-Confidence Workbook, Barbara Markway and Celia Ampel
provide a map for building true confidence based on self-awareness,
presence, and our inherent strength. This book is for anyone who
thinks confidence could never be available to them."--Seth J.
