mikeleesyd Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 I've been doing alright with my fitness, I'm in a lot better shape but now I want to improve other nerdy parts of me. Has anyone got any book (or anything else) recommendations for how I can improve my confidence in meeting new people and communication? What has worked for you in improving in this and why?

WolfDreamer Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Not to plug Nerd Fitness or anything, but Steve's book Level Up Your Life goes into this a bit. Below are a few other possible recommendations: Daring Greatly Awaken the Giant Within Tools of Titans (a lot of the people interviewed for this book admit to "stage friend" and share how they deal with it). Confidence Hacks I have always been an extrovert, so it is hard for me to give advice. But I have had to talk to people and groups of people who seriously intimidate me enough to induce vomiting. You have two choices then: talk to them or don't talk to them. If you don't, well... Think of it like an exercise. If you need to work on upper body strength, but you hate pushups and pullups and dips and lifting weights, the longer you avoid those things the weaker your upper body will become. But the more time you spend on those, the stronger your upper body will become. Your brain and confidence work in similar ways. The more you exercise your confidence muscles the stronger they will become. Hope this helps.
