Everyone wants to feel at home and at ease with themselves. We all want to be able to face any situation, both in life and at work, without feeling daunted, intimidated or stressed. But no-one wants to be labelled over-confident, arrogant or smarmy, or to get caught up in their own hype. So how can you feel authentically, properly confident - without the cringe, and without pretending to be something you're not?

Happy high status is a new way of thinking about confidence and how you relate to yourself. It's how actors and comedians enhance their presence on stage and screen. And in this inspirational guide, Viv Groskop explains how we can access it at any time to lend strength and energy to our interactions, big and small.

Drawing on research, practical tips and lessons from the worlds of comedy, film, television, politics and sport, this is a masterclass in how to project status, minimise self-doubt and move effortlessly through life. All, crucially, with no risk of anyone thinking that you are your own biggest fan.

Reseñas de la Crítica

Reassuring, inspiring and wise - a practical handbook for anyone held back by self-doubt

Like all of Viv's writing, this is joyous, thoughtful and, best of all, bloody useful

Friendly, fun and incredibly useful

How can you seem confident, gracious and charming when inside you're anxious, annoyed and on a short fuse? Is it ok to pretend to be someone you're not? If people are looking to you for confidence and clarity when all around you is complexity and chaos, you could do a lot worse than read this guide to being yourself while also being charming, calm and authoritative. Simple, powerful, funny and practical - I wish I'd read it years ago.

Viv Groskop always makes me feel more confident. Get the magic now in book form

Inspiring. Amazing. Empowering yet relatable, Happy High Status shows you how to channel confidence and embody strength and leadership without feeling like you're being a dick about it. It has made me feel that I - a normal woman with thick ankles and frizzy hair - can embody the charming, insouciant confidence of Michelle Obama or Julia Roberts. I love this - everyone should read it.

Viv Groskop reinvents the very idea of confidence - she turns tired old 'one size fits all' advice on its head and lets us see how we all have 'happy high status' within us. Listen to yourself, not to other people - the results will astonish you. This book changes the way we think about confidence and success.

Viv Groskop's no-nonsense approach to confidence is entertaining yet transformative. Show up as you on your best day, every day.

Self-help without the stupidity … warm, super-smart, sceptical, generous and funny.

A brilliant, deeply intelligent book on confidence

I loved everything about this book. It is intelligent, thoughtful and presents a version of confidence and assertiveness that I think we can all aspire to. Also, no one needs to change. But we do need to learn to speak up. And Viv Groskop's reading of it is fantastic.

superficial and boring

The book was superficial and boring only to get through about half of it. really nothing there. that was worthwhile
