An inspiring curated selection of 40 photographs and artworks with accompanying essays examining the skill of confidence

The difference between success and failure often comes down to an ingredient that we are seldom directly taught about and may forget to focus on: confidence.

Here is a supreme guide to a fatefully neglected quality - made up of a series of short essays that encourage us into a new and more fruitful state of mind. We hear why we should dare to try, why the past doesn't have to dictate the future, why we can alter the way we speak to ourselves and why there are so many reasons to keep faith with our most ambitious aspirations.

The images that accompany each essay are there to ensure that we aren't merely intellectually stirred to change our lives but are also given the best kind of visual assistance.

Within its modest size, this book succeeds at a mighty feat: unlocking our latent powers and edging us on with kindness and creativity to become the best version of ourselves.

Benjamin ★★★★★

I've been reading one essay each morning with my coffee, and pairing the photographs with the text makes the ideas stick way better than a typical self-help chapter. Forty entries is just enough that it never felt like a chore to get through.

William K. ★★★★★

The essays dig into real-world situations rather than abstract theory, and pairing each one with a striking image makes the ideas stick in your head long after you close the book. I've already gone back to reread three of the entries just to absorb the nuance.

Leo ★★★★★

I flipped through it expecting pretty pictures, but the pairing of each image with its essay on poise and grit is what hooked me. The selection is thoughtful, and I keep returning to certain pages before big meetings. It’s the kind of book that makes you feel steadier without feeling preachy.
