Episode notes

The confident mind is a battle tested guide to unshakable performance. It's that over preoccupation with the mechanics of what you're doing that interferes with the smooth delivery of your actual skill. My working definition, for anybody who cares to use it, is that confidence is a sense of certainty about yourself,. which allows you to execute those abilities pretty much without thinking about them.

Dr. Nate Zinsser is an expert in the psychology of human performance who consults to individuals and organizations seeking a competitive edge. He is the director of west point’s influential performance psychology program. His new book is The Confident Mind: A Battle Tested Guide to Unshakeable Performance.

In this discussion, we not only define confidence but debunk some commonly held beliefs on what it means to have confidence in yourself despite that voice in your head that's always saying you're not good enough.
