The Confidence Factor: Cosmic Gooses Lay Golden Eggs

by Judith Briles

With Confidence, anything is possible! the Confidence Factor delivers common sense and viable tactics to enhance, or regain, your confidence ... even when a cosmic goose comes your way. Cosmic gooses are those situations that happen that if you had your druthers, you would never want to go through again. 'A TREASURE! This book contains more information, more wisdom and more inspiration about building high self-esteem than any other book I've read.' Jack Canfield, Co-Author of Chicken Soup for the Soul.Packed with authentic, resonant candor and advice, the 10 Steps to Building Confidence we recreated from a nationwide survey of 1300 men and women. Some well-known (Tiger Woods, Oprah) and many representatives of the 'average' person, each share their confidence shattering experiences-their cosmic gooses-and the steps they took to rebuild themselves. The Confidence Factor won the Gold EVVY Best Business Book and Best Over-All book from the Colorado Independent Publishers Association. Foreign rights sold to China, Arabia, Singapore.

Reviews

[Heather · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really liked this information from the book on pages 101-102, which stated: "Every failure, every crisis, can become an enormous opportunity. The word for crisis in Chinese consists of two characters- one for danger and one for opportunity. So, for every dangerous situation, there is an opportunity that can be learned from- where you can grow and reach out and develop yourself further..."
These "opportunites" are what the author calls, "golden eggs". And you get to choose by your attitude, to make these cosmic gifts as either rotten or golden.
