Story Behind The Book

Based on the principle that self-confidence is the single most important factor in achieving personal and professional success, Shirey describes how this elusive but critical personality trait can be gained through his Four Steps To A More Confident Person. Weaving personal anecdotes with perspective gained from his years at the forefront of sales and business development, Shirey’s advice is powerful, practical and straightforward. The book also features extensive interviews on the secrets of success with four of the most unique and confident people in the world, including publicist extraordinaire Heidi Krupp-Lisiten and Adel Anwar, the Guinness Record Holder for Human Memory. Shirey’s practical strategies are outlined in chapters that include ‘Treat The Janitor Like The CEO And The CEO Like The Janitor (Sort Of)’, ‘Say These Exact Words To Get That Job And Then Excel At It’, ‘What The Sports World Can Teach Us About Confidence’ and ‘The Essence Of Cool’. Written to engage, entertain and inspire, the guide is aimed at readers who seek more from their careers, want more out of their relationships and are seeking a higher level of fulfillment and happiness.

Reviews

<span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">&quot;Just finished reading Rare Confidence...loved it! Not only did it give me simple and concrete things I can do right now to take my confidence to another level but it also had me cracking up throughout. So many books give abstract ideas and concepts that you can't actually use - not this book. Everything in it is down to earth, easy to understand, and actionable. I'm thinking about buying a few extras as stocking stuffers - we can all use a little extra confidence. Highly recommended!&quot; </span><div><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">-Antoinette (Amazon.com review)</span><div><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">&quot;I have completed David Shirey's &quot;Rare Confidence&quot; and it may be the best of them all. As a professional in the marketing industry for many years, I have read most of the books for self-improving salespeople - both in and out of the corporate scene. Most of them are repetitive, impersonal and eventually arcane. This one had me from the title page. It speaks to everyone, covers all the bases, is highly organized, yet at the same time is friendly and speaks right to you. Totally user-friendly.&quot;<br />-Michael Kars, (Ret) V.P.

The book provides a common sense approach on dealing with people and situations. The author should teach a college level course on the subject matter. Awesome job!&quot;<br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">-Barry (Amazon.com review)</span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">&quot;Rare Confidence is a unique look into how to be successful in life. David Shirey gives unique perspective on the little but important things that should be important to every business person. Whether you are in sales or not, everyone needs confidence and this book is a roadmap on how we all should view the world. It's a great, simple read that will give you a new way to look at everyday situations. I have already read this book twice and have purchased copies for my entire team. Looking forward to Rare Confidence 2!!&quot;<br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">-Steve R.
