They look at successful, self-assured individuals and assume those people possess some genetic advantage, some innate quality that the rest of us lack. This belief is not only wrong, it is dangerous. It convinces ordinary people that they are powerless to change, that their insecurities are permanent features of their personality, and that striving for greater confidence is a fool's errand.
