Dictionaries of quotations; Self-help & personal development

A compilation of musings to motivate and inspire readers in need of a quick pick-me-up.

We all want to be the person who marches into a meeting brimming with self-confidence, unbothered by what others think of them right before making a killer speech. But all too often, crippling self-doubt creeps in. This book is a self-esteem boosting collection of pocket-sized pep talks from successful people in a multitude of fields, including Serena Williams, Stephen King, Helen Keller, Julia Child, and so much more-that will give readers a strong dose of self-assurance.

""I am lucky that whatever fear I have inside me, my desire to win is always stronger."" -Serena Williams

""The scariest moment is always just before you start."" -Stephen King

""Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence."" -Helen Keller

""Just speak very loudly and quickly, and state your position with utter conviction, as the French do, and you'll have a marvelous time!"" -Julia Child
