“I wonder if any other parents have found this book helpful for kids? I came across the book recently and was impressed. I decided, though it was probably not written for 10/11-year-olds, it would be a good book for my daughter. So far, she likes it. I suspect it will resonate more with her over time. At her age, “imposter syndrome” would have meant nothing to me, though today it’s viscerally palpable—just to share one example.”
“A concise exploration of where confidence really comes from and how to build it authentically.”
