My name is David and I live in England, just outside London.

I am in my early forties now, and I live a fairly confident life. I am happy with who I am and am looking forward to many happy years in the future.

However I have not always been so happy, having grown up with a feeling of inadequacy. As such in my younger days I suffered from lack of confidence and  feeling that I wasn’t really part of the rest of the world.

Determined to address this I spent some time looking into ways to improve confidence, and the question of self esteem. I am no psychiatrist, but I managed to learn to think more positively about myself, and as such I wanted to share some of the ideas and methods that helped me.

Be aware that in a few places on this site I recommend some further resources. If you buy any of these I may earn of few dollars commission. This is not why I recommended them (although it is always nice to earn a little extra cash), and if you are short of money the I would say don’t spend your money on these things. Instead work of the positive thinking and other exercises that I cover on this site, they will take you a long way towards improving your self esteem and confidence.
