How do economic recessions shape a generation's confidence?
Can we have too much confidence and, if so, what are the consequences?
Imagine  we could discover something that could make us richer, healthier,  longer-living, smarter, kinder, happier, more motivated and more  innovative. Ridiculous, you might say... What is this elixir?
Confidence.
If  you have it, it can empower you to reach heights you never thought  possible. But if you don't, it can have a devastating effect on your  future. Confidence lies at the core of what makes things happen.
Exploring  the science and neuroscience behind confidence that has emerged over  the last decade, clinical psychologist and neuroscientist Professor Ian  Robertson tells us how confidence plays out in our minds, our brains and  indeed our bodies. He explains where it comes from and how it spreads -  with extraordinary economic and political consequences. And why it's not necessarily something you are born with, but something that can be learned.
