Professor Ian Robertson explains where confidence comes from and how it can be learned.

Imagine we could discover something that could make us richer,

healthier, longer-living, smarter, kinder, happier, more motivated and

more innovative. What is this elixir? Confidence. If you have it, it can

empower you to reach heights you never thought possible. But if you

don't, it can have a devastating effect on your future. Confidence lies

at the core of what makes things happen. Probing the science and

neuroscience behind confidence that has emerged over the last decade,

clinical psychologist and neuroscientist Professor Ian Robertson tells

us how confidence plays out in our minds, our brains and indeed our

bodies. He explains where it comes from and how it spreads - with

extraordinary economic and political consequences. And why it's not

necessarily something you are born with, but something that can be

learned.
