The Confidence Code: The Science and Art of Self-Assurance - What Women Should Know by Katty Kay and Claire Shipman

BATB score: 5/10 🤦♀️
The Confidence Code of all human existence both male and female comes from both nature and nurture. Find yourself a confident role model.
Best to: very wordy and wishy washy; the main gist is definitely there but can be summarized into a page
Best for: "Women tend to talk 75% less when they were outnumbered by men in the same room; while a man in a room with mostly women talks just as much as he always does." Hey yo! We need to speak up and claim our seats on the table! 💪
Best as: better to raise children to not strive for perfection but dare to fail - be critical and challenge them at a young age!
*Spoiler* book summary: Think Less. Take Action. Be Authentic. The end.
Fun fact: confident mother monkeys can raise genetically shy baby monkeys to be confident adult monkeys 🙉🙊🙈
