Publisher's summary

“A road map to self-empowerment, illuminating the journey from self-doubt to authenticity. The book’s unique blend of psychology, spirituality, and personal growth creates a comprehensive guide for building lasting self-assurance.”—David A. Treleaven, PhD, author of Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness

Imagine you had total confidence in yourself, in all areas of your life. We all want to believe in ourselves to the fullest—yet in a culture that confuses bravado, delusion, and narcissism with self-confidence, it’s no wonder we subconsciously internalize a limiting identity defined by fear and doubt. “My goal is to show you a different approach to confidence,” says Giovanni Dienstmann. “Not based on arrogance, but integrity, rooted in a fully integrated, energized, and unwavering faith in yourself. I call this wise confidence.”

With Wise Confidence, this expert teacher and life coach brings together lessons and research from psychology, philosophy, spirituality, and mindfulness into a practical framework for genuine self-belief and inner strength. Here you’ll discover:

• Three pillars of self-confidence: Aspiration, Awareness, Action

• Finding the best in you—getting clear about your strengths, weaknesses, and vision of who you want to be

• Practices for releasing negative emotions, embodying self-confidence, facing fear, and more

• Guidance for cultivating authentic relationships and setting boundaries

• The four spiritual principles that support connection, optimism, and a sense of purpose

• Dozens of exercises, meditations, and powerful awareness tools for developing a new self-image with limitless potential

“So many of us labor under a mistaken idea about who we are and what we are capable of,” teaches Dienstmann. “Wise confidence is a skill that can be learned—a skill that you can learn. Though the journey can be challenging, the only requirements are a deep desire to change and a willingness to take ownership of your healing, growth, and purpose. It is time to reclaim your power—and your true self.”

The book’s unique blend of psychology, spirituality, and personal growth creates a comprehensive guide for building lasting self-assurance.

Treleaven, PhD, author of Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness

WISE Book -> Powerful GROWTH!

WHO KNEW?! Thriving in life with wise self-confidence starts out EASY! First up, we explore to find the BEST in OURSELVES, an enjoyable and empowering process. I wish this JOY for you!

The journey continues with growing and nurturing that best in us, acting from our heart of hearts in everything we do. Yep, that part sounds great AND can be really hard! For me, it was impossible without Giovanni’s tools, AND now I’m DOING the IMPOSSIBLE. One moment at a time, I’m changing my self and my life, FROM THE INSIDE OUT. It’s an inside job, all up to me, and it’s happening!

Giovanni blows wide open the idea of accepting reality, really being okay with what you don’t have. There’s power in that approach, but going beyond it, Giovanni invites you to “bend reality,” one wise choice at a time, toward being your best self and accomplishing your best goals.

The upshot? As Giovanni writes: “So don’t wait for the world to give you permission to be confident. Take it yourself.”
