PNTV: The Confidence Gap by Russ Harris Jun 22, 2016

Show notes

Russ Harris is one of the world's leading authorities on one of the most cutting-edge forms of therapy known as Acceptance and Commitment Training, or ACT for short (pronounced like the word "act" not A.C.T.).

We explore The Golden Rule of confidence (and 9 other rules), why we need to defuse from our negative thoughts NOT try to eliminate them, how to have instant success (presto!), and how to move from FEAR to DARE as we live the great adventure that is our lives.
