I’ve already read Eric Berne, Dyer, Branden, McKenna.

Try Anthony Robbins books like unlimited power or Unleash the Giant Within. He has a very practical and pro-active style about helping motivate yourself and achieve things. A lot of his work is also about communication and how to read people.

He is world famous and does huge seminars around the world so i would think i’d be correct to put it in the "best" category.

Another book i know is "The Road less Travelled" by Scott Peck. Also very famous and worth a read.

I always look down at myself. Always thinking that everyone’s above me. What should I do to build my self-confidence?

The first step is to adjust your perceptions. One of the fundamental truths in life is to realize that how you feel and what you are are often very different. I have to recommend the seven habits of highly effective people. That book systematically gave me friends, a girlfriend, success, and most importantly self appreciation. Trust me, it is absolutely worth it.

One of my best friends and her boyfriend ( Of a year) broke up like a week or two ago and she wont stop talking bad about herself. Apparently when he broke up with her he called her ugly and fat which shes not. So now all she does is cry and me and my other friends have tried everything and nothing seems to help boost her confidence so she can see how great a person she is. Please Help Us!

tell her not to worry about stuff which other people think of her…Tell her that it simply is not worth the pain… Also, give her some hope and confidence…whenever she comes to think of her that way, divert her mind and indulge in some other conversation…..good luck…

I’m a shy quite person around many people other then friends and I am just so ready to come out of my shell! How can I boost my self confidence and higher my self esteem so I can get over this shyness? Any ideas?

Try to be more confident and find YOU ARE HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT YOURSELF! Loving and accepting ourselves is THE MOST CRITICAL FACTOR in experiencing joy,happiness, and success in life. When you really love yourself and you really love other people, you find that life is really an incredible journey where things flow, and no matter what happens you always find a way to enjoy yourself and you feel fulfilled. You MUST love yourself completely.
This determines your STANDARDS for what you are willing to accept or settle for. It determines how well you treat your body and your health, how much money you feel you deserve to earn or feel you can make, your belief in whether you can achieve your goals, how much others RESPECT you and how they treat you, and even whether people like you and want to be around you. People love being around confident people. You see, confident people do not feel the need to judge you or tear you down in order to elevate their own self-worth. They radiate a positive energy. You feel safe around them. You need to consistently and confidently take action to move towards your goals, and towards your ultimate destiny. People who lack in confidence often get ‘stuck’. So you see, your entire DESTINY is shaped by your degree of confidence. True self-confidence comes from an absolute sense of certainty deep within, that you are able to handle anything life throws your way. Truly confident people exude calm, control, power, certainty. They care about people, and they make people feel good when they are around them.They never brag – after all, actions speak louder than words. People who brag are just masking their insecurities. People have varying degrees of confidence depending on what activity they are performing. For example, someone might be totally confident in performing a piano concert, or driving a car, but feel totally inadequate at a new job they’ve started, or at flirting with members of the opposite sex. People with Total self-confidence, though, have complete belief in themselves. They never ask themselves “Can I really do this? What if this doesn’t work out? Am I good enough to pull it off?” They know that if they really want something, and they are committed to getting it, it will happen. They know that it’s just a question of time until they’ve mastered the skills and knowledge to make whatever they want a reality

PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY…NO RUDE ANSWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this sounds corny but it helps me alot
1) if you pretend to be confident, it will become real. (fake it till you make it)

2) make a list of things you love about yourself (your smile, your legs, your laugh) and post it somewhere where you can see it every morning, and read it every morning, it will give you a boost of confidence.

3) stop comparing yourself to other girls. they arent perfect either, and it doesnt help to dwell on something that you think is better on another person.

4) just remember to love yourself, get a mani once every month, or give yourself a facial every weekend, etc. its the little things that make you feel better
