Showing results by author "Sam Wilson" in Self-Esteem

The primary argument that the book makes is that an explanation of how the mind functions or how a person's intelligence develops cannot be provided only by cognition. In order to provide an explanation for the wide range of observed disparities in real intellectual performance among persons, within individuals, and across stages of development, it is necessary to take into consideration the interdependence of cognition, emotion, and motivation.

Have you ever met a person who was very sure of themselves? Have you ever been with a person who seemed perfectly capable of taking on the world? This is the self-confidence we are talking about, and it helps a person to trust themselves and believe in their capabilities despite their circumstances. It is their belief in their skills, abilities, and values that lead them to follow their aspirations and conquer the world. The way they carry themselves, the way they talk, and the way they work are all a part of being confident in themselves.
