Confidence Hacks

This is a self help book to boost your confidence.

It covers several areas of your life, that could erode your confidence:

• Relationships
• Social Life
• Career
• Appearance
• Self-Improvement
• Body Language
• Thinking
• Fun and Adventure
• Finances

How to read and apply it:

As a review, here’s how I suggest you use this book to help boost your confidence:

• Read through the entire book once, making notes about any the life areas where you need to work on your confidence.
• Go back through the book again to review those specific life areas you want to work on and the ideas and Action Steps suggested.
• Select the most troublesome area of low confidence to work on first, and determine very specific actions based on the suggestions outlined in the book to work on over the next four to six weeks.
• Determine the time of day you’ll work on those actions and a specific trigger or cue to remind yourself to perform the action.
• Expect to feel uncomfortable and resistant for the first few weeks. Try to manage your discomfort by reminding yourself it will diminish over time.
• Seek out accountability and support from a friend or family member by telling them about your confidence work.
• Acknowledge your small daily actions and reward yourself immediately after you take the action with something that makes you feel good.
• Track your feelings of confidence weekly as you work on these actions by scoring yourself from one being very low confidence. Give yourself a baseline score before you begin taking the actions.
• Repeat this process for any additional areas of low confidence.”

My Story, Al Maktoum

This important collection of anecdotes and reminiscences from Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum is published to mark the occasion of his fifty years in public service, which began with his appointment as Dubai’s Minister of Defence in 1968.

These stories tell of the vision behind Dubai’s meteoric growth from a small and bustling trading port to an international metropolis at the heart of global business. They record the evolution of the United Arab Emirates from a shared ideal to a nation where more than 195 nationalities live and work in peace, harmony and prosperity. And they reveal insights from a man whose drive, determination and will to succeed have become legendary.

Within these stories lies the heart of Sheikh Mohammed the statesman, the equestrian, the poet and the leader. They are written with the intent to inspire and inform new generations of readers, and to celebrate the achievements of this young and vibrant nation and the people who shaped it. […]
