An expert on the psychology of decision making at Berkeley's Haas
School of Business helps readers calibrate their confidence,
arguing that some confidence is good, but overconfidence can hinder
growth. A surge of confidence can feel fantastic-offering a rush of
energy, even a dazzling vision of the future. It can give us
courage and bolster our determination when facing adversity. But if
that self-assurance leads us to pursue impossible goals, it can
waste time, money, and energy. Self-help books and motivational
speakers tell us that the more confident we are, the better. But
this way of thinking can lead to enormous trouble. Decades of
research demonstrates that we often have an over-inflated sense of
self and are rarely as good as we believe. Perfectly Confident is
the first book to bring together the best psychological and
economic studies to explain exactly what confidence is, when it can
be helpful, and when it can be destructive in our lives. Confidence
is an attitude that takes into account both personal feelings and
the facts. Don Moore identifies the ways confidence behaves in real
life and raises thought-provoking questions. How optimistic should
you be about an uncertain future? What justifies your confidence in
something amorphous and subjective like your attractiveness or
sense of humor? Moore reminds us that the key to success is to
avoid being both over- and under-confident. In this essential
guide, he shows how to become perfectly confident-how to strive for
and maintain the well-calibrated, adaptive confidence that can
elevate all areas of our lives.
