Many young people have low feelings of self-worth, and lack confidence in their skills and abilities. This can lead to anxiety and a fear of failure, and a ‘Why bother, I won’t be able to do it anyway’ approach to tasks and challenges they may encounter, and even deliberate sabotage of activities.  

Using the ideas in this book, young people can be helped to increase their optimism and discover the a step by step approach to building competencies in different areas of their lives.
