Girls can rule the world—all they need is confidence. This empowering, entertaining guide from the bestselling authors of The Confidence Code gives girls the essential yet elusive code to becoming bold, brave, and fearless. It’s a paradox familiar to parents everywhere: girls are achieving like never before, yet they’re consumed with doubt on the inside. Girls worry constantly about how they look, what people think, whether to try out for a sports team or school play, why they aren’t getting “perfect” grades, and how many likes and followers they have online. Katty Kay and Claire Shipman use cutting-edge science and research, as well as proven methods of behavioral change, to reach girls just when they need it the most—the tween and teen years. Packed with graphic novel strips; appealing illustrations; fun lists, quizzes, and challenges; and true stories from tons of real girls, The Confidence Code for Girls teaches girls to embrace risk, deal with failure, and be their most authentic selves. If you or the girl in your life loved The Gutsy Girl or Rad American Women A-Z, you'll love this.

The New York Times bestseller, now in paperback with a new introduction, explores the elusive quality of confidence. The authors of Womenomics dissect this vital trait, questioning whether it is innate or learnable, and how it can be expressed beyond mere bravado. They delve into the dynamics of confidence versus competence and why many successful women grapple with self-doubt. Journalists Katty Kay and Claire Shipman investigate the neuroscience behind confidence, seeking the "confidence gene" and uncovering surprising research on its origins in our brains. They consult leading psychologists who reveal that confidence can be cultivated through action and risk-taking, which can physically alter our brain wiring. Interviews with women leaders from diverse fields illustrate how they harness this essential resource. The authors argue that confidence, while partly genetic, is not a static trait. Instead of relying on positive affirmations or superficial displays, true confidence requires a commitment to action, embracing imperfection, and taking risks. Ultimately, the book inspires women to act on their instincts and embrace authenticity, revealing the transformative power of confidence in their lives.

Relegating the all or nothing, mommy-wars mentality to the 20th century, this title offers a fresh take on the largely hidden power that women have in the marketplace. It also shows women how to take advantage of this historical moment by crafting high-octane careers that don't require all-or-nothing lifestyles.
