Chapters

You don't build confidence by shouting affirmations in the mirror, but by giving yourself a stack of undeniable proof that you are who you say you are. Outwork yourself doubt. And so I wholeheartedly reject the notion that you can beat your chest and have charisma because I believe that confidence without evidence is delusion. Like if someone says, I can build a skyscraper and they can say it as confidently as they want, but if they don't know how to build a skyscraper, they're not building a skyscraper. And the best way to know that you can build a skyscraper is having built one before. And so I think that's the big misnomer is that people are like, he's so confident. Either the guy is confident because he's delusional, and I mean that is in in the truest sense, like he is claiming he can do something that he has no evidence that he can do, which to me would be delusional. Or he had lots of insecurities or concerns about his performance on XYZ. And then he tried to simulate that experience as many times as he possibly could until he no longer felt afraid.
