Confidence: the level of certainty you have in your ability to do something that allows you to do it unconsciously. As the director of West Point’s performance-psychology program, Nathaniel Zinsser has spent his career training the minds of the U.S. Military Academy's cadets as they prepare to lead and perform on the highest stakes imaginable—the battlefield. Alongside this work, he has also coached world-class athletes including a Super Bowl MVP, numerous Olympic medalists, NHL All-Stars, college All-Americans, and professional ballerinas, preparing them to succeed at the uppermost levels of competition. Dr. Zinsser is a firm believer that with the right knowledge and guidance, the confidence to perform well on any stage, on any field, and in any endeavor is something anyone can learn, practice, and deliver on demand. In The Confident Mind, he will distill his years of experience for the first time, in this practical guide to the science of confidence, providing readers with a step-by-step program to best harness their belief in themselves to achieve success in any field.
