A gift set to help us rediscover and nurture our innate confidence, featuring The Confidence Workbook and Stoicism Cards The difference between a successful and a disappointing life often comes down to a critical ingredient that we overlook at our peril: confidence. What makes one life cheerful, purposeful and energetic and another less so typically has nothing to do with intelligence or qualifications, but almost everything to do with the courage to try, the refusal to accept defeat, persistence in the face of obstacles, and ambition about what the future could hold for us. The Confidence Workbook is a book with an explicit and practical purpose: to take us through some exercises that will help us rediscover the confidence we all already have inside us but have neglected for too long out of habit, fear or misplaced modesty. This book demonstrates that confidence is not a gift of the gods but a faculty we are all endowed with and that can flourish with the right kind of practice and encouragement. Stoicism cards gather together the best insights and sayings from the great Stoic thinkers and marry them up with commentaries that bring out their applicability to our own lives. This is both an elegant summary of ancient philosophy and a route to self-knowledge, serenity and strength of mind.
