Giovanni Dienstmann

Self-confidence is a theme of universal appeal - and for a good reason. When you have genuine confidence, you take action on your goals, have empowered relationships, and feel better about yourself. Others see you as more competent, likable, and trustable, and this opens many doors in life. In Wise Confidence, Giovanni Dienstmann brings a refreshing approach to the topic, teaching us how to transform the core of self-doubt into self-belief, so that our confidence becomes stronger and more unshakable. Rather than rely on quick fixes and motivational platitudes, this comprehensive book brings together lessons from psychology, philosophy, spirituality, and mindfulness into a practical framework of self-empowerment. Wise Confidence is an invitation for you to develop confidence from the inside out. It is confidence without the shadows of conceit, arrogance, and toxicity. Dienstmann guides us through dozens of exercises and meditations targeted at developing the five elements of self-confidence: self-belief, courage, optimism, integrity, and determination. You will also learn how to break free from past conditioning, find your core strengths, develop willpower, face fear, set boundaries, and effectively manage negative emotions.

If you want to live a life of purpose, build good habits and achieve your goals, there is one skill that is more important than anything else: Self-Discipline. Self-discipline is not about punishment, it's about self-respect. It is not about being inflexible, but about living your best life. It is the superpower of focus in a world of distractions - allowing you to overcome procrastination, excuses, bad habits, low motivation, failures, and self-doubt. With it, you can stay on track with your values and goals even through the times when you are least inspired. Self-discipline allows you to choose who you want to be and live by design rather than by default. As a meditation teacher and self-discipline coach, Giovanni Dienstmann has helped hedge fund managers, CEOs, entrepreneurs, ambitious professionals, artists and pro athletes to live a more focused and disciplined life. Since 2014 he has been successfully coaching people to overcome distractions, procrastination, self-doubt, fear, and other forms of self-sabotage. Whatever self-discipline challenge you face, whatever excuse you are telling yourself - Mindful Self-Discipline is a collection of all these years of experience, converted into a tool for you to use. This revolutionary book is a comprehensive and practical guide for you to develop self-discipline in a balanced way - without beating yourself up. It emphasizes the use of mindfulness and awareness as key components for building habits, rather than forcefulness and willpower.

This manual for living your life purposefully contains: Over 50 step-by-step exercisesOver 100 illustrations and diagramsLinks to the scientific studies about each topicMany, many examples - all to make it as easy as possible for you to actually apply all this knowledge and transform your daily life.
