This insightful book offers a fresh perspective on confidence, helping readers embrace their authentic selves. Happy High Status is a practical guide to overcoming self-doubt.
In Happy High Status, the author explores a refreshing approach to confidence that transcends traditional notions of self-assurance. Many individuals struggle with the desire to face challenges without succumbing to feelings of intimidation or stress. This book addresses the fine line between confidence and arrogance, guiding readers to embrace a more authentic self-image that doesn't rely on bravado or pretense.
The concept of happy high status is rooted in the way performers, such as actors and comedians, command presence and engage with their audiences. By adopting this mindset, readers can enhance their interactions, project a sense of authority, and minimize self-doubt. The book emphasizes that confidence can be both genuine and approachable, allowing individuals to navigate life's complexities with ease.
Drawing from a wealth of research, practical strategies, and insights from various fields—including comedy, film, politics, and sports—Viv Groskop provides a masterclass in cultivating this new form of confidence. Happy High Status serves as a practical guide, encouraging readers to unlock their potential and face the world with renewed strength, all while remaining relatable and grounded in their authenticity.

How can you seem confident, gracious and charming when inside you're anxious, annoyed and on a short fuse? Is it ok to pretend to be someone you're not? If people are looking to you for confidence and clarity when all around you is complexity and chaos, you could do a lot worse than read this guide to being yourself while also being charming, calm and authoritative. Simple, powerful, funny and practical - I wish I'd read it years ago. * Matt Brittin, President of EMEA Business & Operations, Google *

I love this - everyone should read it. * Lucy Porter *
