About this ebook
"Just want to let you know that I appreciate the positivity you bring to the universe man. You always have something to say that builds people up. It's great thing." - Horace Buddoo
When I was a child, there were these color-by-numbers coloring books we would play with. Each page would have a picture of, say, a bear. And the bear would have different areas of its body marked by a number. There was a little box in the corner of the page that told you which colors referred to each number. So if the number "1" was green, you colored all the corresponding 1s on the page in green. Then you did the same with black, red, yellow and the rest. After coloring in all the numbered sections, you'd have a perfectly colored picture to admire. There was no thinking or real-life application necessary. Just do what the damn book said, step by step, and everything would be perfect.
The Super You is not a coloring book.
My goals in writing this book are to:
1) Give you insight into the phenomenon of confidence by explaining what it is, where it comes from, when you can use it to your advantage, and how it is developed, strengthened and weakened.
2) Prepare you to apply what you read in real life, learning instinctively when to use each tool in your box, since no two situations are ever exactly the same.
3) Leave you with The Super You, the version of you who has the confidence to think and say and do all of the things you've considered but haven't dared trying.
That's what this book is.

Disclaimer
First a disclaimer, so you know exactly what you're getting into with this book.
When I was a child, there were these color-by-numbers coloring books we would play with. Each page would have a picture of, say, a bear. And the bear would have different areas of its body marked by a number. There was a little box in the corner of the page that told you which colors referred to each number. So if the number 1
was green, you colored all the corresponding 1s on the page in green. Then you did the same with black, red, yellow and the rest. After coloring in all the numbered sections, you'd have a perfectly colored picture to admire. There was no thinking or real-life application necessary. Just do what the damn book said, step by step, and everything would be perfect.
The Super You is not a coloring book.
My goals in writing this book are to:
1) Give you insight into the phenomenon of confidence by explaining what it is, where it comes from, when you can use it to your advantage, and how it is developed, strengthened and weakened.
2) Prepare you to apply what you read in real life, learning instinctively when to use each tool in your box, since no two situations are ever exactly the same.
3) Leave you with The Super You, the version of you who has the confidence to think and say and do all of the things you've considered but haven't dared trying.
That's what this book is.
What I am not doing: Holding you by the hand and giving you a series of if-then loops (if this happens, do this...
If she does this, you say this...
) on how to conduct yourself.
Each one of us is a unique individual, with a unique mental wiring and a unique personality. Everything you read in this book, you will apply to your life as it fits you. Confidence is an internal energy that radiates outward. This is true for both the introverted and the extroverted amongst us. We all have both sides within us, that we display at different times depending on the situation. Confidence is not about being the-life-of-the-party personality every day; if that is not you, don't try to make it you. That would be a waste of time and energy. No one would believe you anyway, when you're being someone you're not — people can read it off of you. This is a very important point when it comes to confidence; we will discuss it in detail later in this book.
A core principle of confidence is staying 100% true to yourself. The Super You is the new, supremely confident version of you, but it is still YOU. Always remember this. You don't need me, nor anyone else, telling you exactly what to do, how, or when to do it. Your confidence will be rooted in knowing that you can look to, feed off of, and depend on yourself. Not another person, not some inanimate object, and not a book (though I will recommend you coming back
