   Author: David Baird  Confidence is one of those attributes that everyone wants to have an unfailing abundance of but for the majority is often lacking from time to time. This book aims to give its readers a lift, to help you tap into the confidence already within you, and to help you become the person you always wanted to be.A Thousand Paths To Confidence is a compact style book, not much larger than a hand but considerable thicker, and is packed with short inspiring thoughts and ideas, and the occasional quote, all based around the theme of ‘confidence’. We’re not sure whether there are 1000 different ones but it must be close, it will certainly keep you inspired for many weeks, months and years, even if you just read a couple each day. Indeed after reading a few we certainly found our spirits to uplifted, we sat a little taller in our desks, and the focus of those blessed with confidence returned once more. At first glance this seems like one of those gift books you see displayed on the book store counter next to the till, one you’d browse through whilst waiting for your credit card authorisation, a few of the quotes might strike a chord with you and you end up thinking “This would make a great present for… (insert friends name)”. Don’t be put off though, unlike many books of the same ilk this is actually full of original thoughts rather than the all too familiar quotes from the all too familiar icons of history that we are so used to hearing from. The book is laid out with a different colour metallic paper for each chapter, which although adds to the subtle aura of inspiration does make it bit tricky to read under artificial light. It’s also conveniently sized, and although perhaps a little heavy for keeping in a pocket, can be stored neatly in your office desk or bedside table, close to hand for easy reference for a quick lift. |
This is the powerful story of the author's struggle with Multiple Sclerosis and how a healer's unusual prescription of mindful altruism - to 'give away 29 gifts in 29 days' - ignited her energy, her happiness, and invited more abundance into her life.
