Confident by Choice: The Three Small Decisions That Build Everyday Courage
About this product
Build unshakable confidence, break through fear, and live an inspired life with a practical, research-backed framework that transforms small steps into big changes! “This book flips the script on confidence. Confident by Choice is a call to stop waiting and start showing up, even when you’re not ready.”—Ben Nemtin, #1 New York Times bestselling author of What Do You Want to Do Before You Die? What if you could summon genuine confidence anytime you need it?
Being happier, building better relationships, overcoming fear: the missing link between you and everything you want to achieve is self-confidence. The problem? Confidence is hard to build, and even when we do, it often feels temporary and forced.
After years of research and working with over 250,000 individuals, Juan Bendaña uncovered the four myths about confidence that actually cause and reinforce self-doubt. Confidence is not linked to genetics, extraversion, insecurities, or competence.
To combat these myths, Juan Bendaña developed the Confidence Cycle, a repeatable flywheel that will help you gain and sustain confidence in every aspect of life through three key decisions:
Decision #1:
• Micro-Energy : Direct excitement toward the area of improvement.
Decision #2:
• Micro-Courage : Find the bravery to move through discomfort.
Decision #3:
• Micro-Action : Complete a small action.
RESULT: Micro-Proof & Boost of Confidence: Receive evidence that you are headed in the right direction, which gives you more confidence, thus continuing the cycle.
This actionable and hands-on guide will jumpstart your confidence and help you build lasting courage to be your best self and face life’s inevitable challenges. Read more
Editor's Take
Amazon and Goodreads both show early reader interest in Confident by Choice: The Three Small Decisions That Build Everyday Courage, with reviewers describing it as practical, energizing, and focused on building confidence through small repeatable actions. Goodreads reviewers note that the book frames confidence as something people can actively build rather than an innate trait, while Target’s page highlights strong early reception and publisher praise.
On Goodreads, readers say the book is encouraging and accessible, and the small-number-of-reviews picture suggests it is still early in its review cycle. Target’s listing reflects a positive shopper signal, but most of the visible material there is editorial praise rather than extensive customer feedback.
Overall, the available reviews lean positive: readers seem to like the actionable framework, the motivational tone, and the idea that everyday courage can be built through simple choices. There is not yet a large volume of independent discussion on Reddit or long-form review blogs for this exact title.
