“Studying confidence with Dr. Zinsser helped me win two Super Bowls. I recommend The Confident Mind to competitors everywhere.” —Eli Manning

Dr. Nate Zinsser has spent his career training the minds of the U.S. Military Academy’s cadets as they prepare to lead and perform when the stakes are the very highest—on the battlefield. Alongside this work, he has coached world-class athletes including a Super Bowl MVP, numerous Olympic medalists, professional ballerinas, NHL All-Stars, and college All-Americans, teaching them to overcome pressure and succeed on the biggest stages.

Dr. Zinsser has come to understand that one single trait above all others makes peak performance possible: confidence, or the belief in oneself. Whether your mission involves leading a platoon into combat, returning an opponent’s serve, or delivering a sales pitch to a roomful of skeptical prospects, you perform best when you are so certain about your abilities that your flow of fear, doubts, and confusion slows to the barest minimum. What’s more, Dr. Zinsser has come to understand that confidence is a skill that can be taught, improved, and applied by anyone to enhance nearly every aspect of our lives and careers.

Now, for the first time, Dr. Zinsser distills his research and years of experience, offering a fascinating guide to the science of confidence and providing readers with a practical, step-by-step program to best harness their belief in themselves to achieve success in any field. The Confident Mind is a complete guide to confidence: how to understand it, how to build it, how to protect it, and how to rely upon it when your performance matters most.

Excellent!

I had the opportunity to take a class with Dr. Zinsser in late 2021, during which he mentioned this book was to be released a few months later. 10 minutes into the class I pre-ordered the book and I am not disappointed. Putting just a few of these techniques into practice has already begun to make a difference.

Highly recommended.

Very Important

A common saying meant to illustrate the value of books states that a book is like someone's entire life work packaged into a few hundred pages. That's probably true in many cases, but some people's life's work ends up being more impactful than others'. What Nate Zinser offers in this book is, in my opinion, way over on the "very important/very valuable" end of that scale. At least, for anyone who lives a life where the ability to perform matters. I have taken several months to get through this book, implementing as I went, and I will be implementing other elements of the book for months into the future. And, I hope, practicing those things for the rest of my life. It's that good.

Inspiring and useful

I listen to this title with passengers. I am a medic and I was an alpine downhill ski racer. I play water polo-
Dr. Zinser focuses on the mentality of the competitive athlete and his book offers perspective and insight into the mindset of todays “warfighter.”
Thanks for the boost! 🌁🌅🤘

Exceptional

The stories of athletes were engaging, the insights into performance enhancement were solid, the practical exercises were dialed in. I often don’t finish audiobooks. This one I will listen to again.
