Dr. Noah St John discusses building self-confidence through personal stories, including his struggles with acne and glasses as a teenager and his failed dream of becoming a professional dancer. He shares how these early experiences shaped his approach to overcoming low self-esteem.
It's funny. So I, I have to admit, so I've crammed this most recent book, listening to the audio. I had some window time driving and I crammed it and I laughed my head off like 3 or 4 times in the first couple chapters of some of the examples you gave. Good. Specifically about becoming a professional dancer and about, oh my gosh, my landlord actually expected me to pay the rent.
Like, what the heck is this? I know. What a, what a bum, you know? And, and he was, he was so sweet because You know, of course, that was a joke because I didn't have any money and he let me be late on the rent a lot. So he was a sweetheart. I loved him. But yeah, that was again giving examples of coming from someone with no self-esteem and no self-confidence. And as I share in the book, you know, in high school, I had a face full of acne, Coke bottle glasses, and I didn't have shoulder length hair.
