Girls can rule the world—all they need is confidence. This empowering, entertaining guide from the bestselling authors of The Confidence Code gives girls the essential yet elusive code to becoming bold, brave, and fearless. It’s a paradox familiar to parents everywhere: girls are achieving like never before, yet they’re consumed with doubt on the inside. Girls worry constantly about how they look, what people think, whether to try out for a sports team or school play, why they aren’t getting “perfect” grades, and how many likes and followers they have online. Katty Kay and Claire Shipman use cutting-edge science and research, as well as proven methods of behavioral change, to reach girls just when they need it the most—the tween and teen years. Packed with graphic novel strips; appealing illustrations; fun lists, quizzes, and challenges; and true stories from tons of real girls, The Confidence Code for Girls teaches girls to embrace risk, deal with failure, and be their most authentic selves. If you or the girl in your life loved The Gutsy Girl or Rad American Women A-Z, you'll love this.

The New York Times bestseller, now in paperback and updated with a new introduction Confidence. We want it. We need it. But it can be maddeningly enigmatic and out of reach. The authors of the New York Times bestseller Womenomics deconstruct this essential, elusive, and misunderstood quality and offer a blueprint for bringing more of it into our lives. Is confidence hardwired into the DNA of a lucky few, or can anyone learn it? Is it best expressed by bravado, or is there another way to show confidence? Which is more important: confidence or competence? Why do so many women, even the most successful, struggle with feelings of self-doubt? Is there a secret to channeling our inner confidence? In The Confidence Code, journalists Katty Kay and Claire Shipman travel to the frontiers of neuroscience on a hunt for the confidence gene and reveal surprising new research on its roots in our brains. They visit the world’s leading psychologists who explain how we can all choose to become more confident simply by taking action and courting risk, and how those actions change our physical wiring. They interview women leaders from the worlds of politics, sports, the military, and the arts to learn how they have tapped into this elemental resource. They examine how a lack of confidence impacts our leadership, success, and fulfillment. Ultimately, they argue, while confidence is partly influenced by genetics, it is not a fixed psychological state. That’s the good news. You won’t discover it by thinking positive thoughts or by telling yourself (or your children) that you are perfect as you are. You also won’t find it by simply squaring your shoulders and faking it. But it does require a choice: less people pleasing and perfectionism and more action, risk taking, and fast failure. Inspiring, insightful, and persuasive, The Confidence Code shows that by acting on our best instincts and by daring to be authentic, women can feel the transformative power of a life on confidence.

Confidence is a quality we all desire, yet it often seems elusive. The authors of a bestselling book deconstruct this misunderstood trait and provide a blueprint for cultivating it. Is confidence innate to a select few, or can anyone learn it? Is it best expressed through bravado, or is there a subtler way to demonstrate it? The authors explore why many women, even the most accomplished, grapple with self-doubt and whether there’s a secret to unlocking inner confidence. Journalists Katty Kay and Claire Shipman delve into neuroscience to investigate the roots of confidence in our brains. They consult leading psychologists who reveal that confidence can be developed through action and risk-taking, which can alter our neural pathways. Interviews with women leaders from various fields provide insights into how they harness this vital resource. The authors highlight the detrimental effects of low confidence on leadership and personal fulfillment. Ultimately, while genetics play a role in confidence, it is not a fixed trait. You won’t find it through positive thinking or by pretending to be confident. Instead, it requires a shift away from perfectionism and people-pleasing towards action, risk, and embracing failure. This inspiring exploration shows that by acting authentically, women can experience the transformative power of confidence in their lives.
