At the beginning of the book, Shamoly says that you can be whoever you want to be. The ingredient that you need to accomplish all your dreams is confidence because there is no head-turner like confidence.
She shared her personal experiences to make sure that the book does not feel didactic. I enjoyed how Shamoly made several references to the sitcom ‘F.R.I.E.N.D.S.’ to show how different people have different drives, motivations, and career approaches.
Shamoly writes next about how to find your superpower. She emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, self-actualization, building self-worth, and preventing self-victimization by asking a series of relevant questions and citing real-life examples.
I liked how she wrote about the way athletes never lose their confidence despite multiple failures. It was interesting to know about the nine sources of sports confidence and the failure bounce-back framework that anyone can implement to convert failure into success.
As the title suggests, the book also delves into scientific experiments related to self-belief and confidence. Shamoly emphasizes the importance of storytelling by giving the example of TEDx speakers. She says that the easiest way to impress people is to have a rich bag of interesting stories.

If you feel clueless about which outfit you should wear for a particular event, you will find the chapter called ‘Dress like it matters’ very beneficial.
