The book is called, “Wire Your Brain for Confidence: The Science of Conquering Self-Doubt.” The book is written by Louisa Jewell, the founder of the Canadian Positive Psychology Association.
If you’re committed to the success you envision in the New Year, Louisa’s book will help you get there. I have already completed the insightful and powerful exercises in the book, greatly increasing the probability that I will triumph over self-doubt and stay focused on achieving my 2018 goal of doubling the business of PollayCoaching.com through additional corporate partnerships and expanded coaching alliances. Reading Louisa’s book has increased my authentic confidence to be the business leader I need to be to achieve the success I seek.
We all face doubt and uncertainty. Challenges arise and make us question what we’re doing. Thankfully, Louisa gives us the tools to help us step into a more fulfilling career, a happier life, and the resilience to bounce back faster from adversity.
Louisa‘s book is based on scientific research, grounded in real world success, and brought to life by memorable and powerful stories and personal anecdotes. When you finish “Wire Your Brain for Confidence: The Science of Conquering Self-Doubt,” you will want to stay connected to Louisa and her growing community of leaders.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2017Wire Your Brain for Confidence is my new "go-to" book for coaching clients who are outwardly highly successful and seemingly confident, yet inwardly they struggle with self-doubt. Written in a conversational tone, Louisa Jewell begins by sharing stories of her own struggles with self-doubt and prompts you to reflect upon your own. I had never considered why I spend enormous amount of time preparing for events that I have done so many times before...until now. That is just one of the "ah-ha" moments I had while reading Wire Your Brain for Confidence.
The best part of the book? The author shares evidence-based tools to build your confidence muscle. Wire Your Brain for Confidence will be the next must-read for coaches around the world!

- Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2018This is a fantastic insightful book that helped me in so many ways! I am embarking on a new business venture and my self doubt jumped into overdrive so this really helped me overcome my fears. I would recommend this book to everyone as it applies to all facets of our personal and work lives! She is also funny and her stories resonated with me on a personal level. Thank You Louisa! The right book at the perfect time for my life's journey! Kevin
- Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2017I am not a strong reader, so I usually do not like or enjoy to read. Wire your brain for confidence is easy to read, very inspirational and I highly recommend it for anyone. I know it is more geared for women, but this would be good for men as well. I am definitely going to read this book again because there is so much good information in this book that I need to reinforce the information and tips to make sure they stick in my head!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2018I am one of those people that grabs non-fiction books from the library. Then, if I like them, I'll pop on here and grab a copy. This point has so many great points and not only is beneficial in my work/teaching life but my own life as well. This will be one I keep going back to. Packed with so much great information.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2018This is a must read for anyone who believes they need more ‘confidence’. It brings together all the science about why we think the way we do and how to start reprogramming. The world is out there and this book will help you find your way. Thanks Louisa, a wonderful book. Thanks for sharing your own journey.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2019The title was promising so the reviews here. However the book is not organized well, it almost feel she just dump all the things she can think in this book without a plan or a strategy. There are some good advises here and there and I am trying to catch them up. She does have an ego problem, that's obvious.
