The purpose of this book is to empower our conscious minds to realize that the fears we feel are no different than what those around us experience. Living in the over-fished waters of criticism, we don't have to hobble ourselves with "I'm not capable enough, smart enough, or educated enough." Instead, recognize that we become what we choose to believe, These books contain dozens of personal stories, showing how we can develop the confidence and clear-thinking that is the essence of not feeling dumb. My breakthrough came from a new perspective. I learned that most people are just as concerned as I am about their intelligence.
