Recommendations for books/podcasts on boosting confidence

Can anyone recommend helpful books or podcasts for improving confidence and self-esteem? Also interested in the imposter syndrome particularly in the workplace. I would love to have a more positive outlook on life and need to stop my negative self-talk! Thanks

@Puddock1 the first thing that springs to mind is the work of Brene Brown. I had one of her books that helped me many moons ago called 'the gifts of imperfection'. It's more about self acceptance than boosting your self esteem, maybe google her and watch her TED talk to see if you like her.

@rainbowninja I've just had a look at that book and it looks really interesting. Self acceptance sounds like something I need to work on. Thank you for your help - much appreciated!

No worries and thanks for the reminder to look back at that book myself! ❤️
