For anyone who hasn’t read the book, I would recommend that you go to the bookstore and buy it right now. It’s one of these titles that are pretty much on every “10-books-everyone-needs-to-read-in-their-lifetime” list. And it’s well worth the time. It’s written by two prominent minds in the field of neuroscience. Andrew Newberg, M.D., is …
We all, of course, want to be successful. We chase it incessantly, talk, read, write about it, and visualize it. Success feels great, tastes great and can give us an influx of endorphins. It’s a high like no other. So far so good. The culprit, though, is when we mis-interpret what it means to be …
Lack of self-esteem often comes from poor body image. Poor body image comes from relying heavily on stereotypes for validation. And believing in stereotypes translates in complete disregard for our uniqueness. So think about it: Would you rather be stereotypical or different from the crowd?
True confidence is quiet and unobtrusive — a quiet power paired with an inspiring presence. Being loud and aggressive is not a manifestation of one’s high self-beliefs.

The work fairy has been kind to me. Over the years, I’ve held some pretty good positions and was involved in many impactful projects—the types that attract lots of attention from the guys upstairs. I’ve been mentored by a CEO and have worked closely with all kinds of C-execs. Pretty lucky, wouldn’t you say? How …
I will start by saying this: Malcolm Gladwell has done it again! The book is simply a must-read. It offers some unique insight into how “geniuses” are made (that’s right, not born), how they rise to success, and that being very smart is simply not enough get one fame and fortune. The book’s main idea, …
Remember, lifting your confidence is not a task reserved only for the therapists. You don’t need others to tell you how much you are worth. You have all the motivation, the desire and the tools you will ever need—within your mind— to initiate your own journey toward finding your voice in the crowd. And with …
Building confidence is a process, not a point in time. It’s a journey of personal development. It requires small changes first, so we can learn to “walk” again, then run, and finally—challenge ourselves in a marathon. It’s not an overnight miracle either. The best way to think about enhancing self-esteem is as a personal project …
