Summary of Russ Harris's The Confidence Gap

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Sample Book Insights:

#1 Confidence is not the end of the journey, but rather just the beginning. You want more confidence in order to achieve something, which is why you ask yourself how you would behave differently if you had all the confidence in the world.

#2 It’s time to connect with your own desires. Take your time to read through and carefully consider the important questions that follow. In a world where you had unlimited confidence, how would you behave differently, walk and talk differently, and treat others differently.

#3 Values are the desired qualities of ongoing action. They describe how you want to behave as a human being. Goals are desired outcomes. When you achieve a goal, you can tick it off the list. Values cannot be completed or ticked off the list as done. They are ongoing.

#4 Values and goals are important in developing confidence and enhancing performance. They provide us with the inspiration and motivation to do what it takes, and they sustain us on the journey.
