About this listen

“A road map to self-empowerment, illuminating the journey from self-doubt to authenticity. The book’s unique blend of psychology, spirituality, and personal growth creates a comprehensive guide for building lasting self-assurance.”—David A. Treleaven, PhD, author of Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness

Imagine you had total confidence in yourself, in all areas of your life. We all want to believe in ourselves to the fullest—yet in a culture that confuses bravado, delusion, and narcissism with self-confidence, it’s no wonder we subconsciously internalize a limiting identity defined by fear and doubt. “My goal is to show you a different approach to confidence,” says Giovanni Dienstmann. “Not based on arrogance, but integrity, rooted in a fully integrated, energized, and unwavering faith in yourself. I call this wise confidence.”

With Wise Confidence, this expert teacher and life coach brings together lessons and research from psychology, philosophy, spirituality, and mindfulness into a practical framework for genuine self-belief and inner strength. Here you’ll discover:

• Three pillars of self-confidence: Aspiration, Awareness, Action

• Finding the best in you—getting clear about your strengths, weaknesses, and vision of who you want to be

• Practices for releasing negative emotions, embodying self-confidence, facing fear, and more

• Guidance for cultivating authentic relationships and setting boundaries

• The four spiritual principles that support connection, optimism, and a sense of purpose

• Dozens of exercises, meditations, and powerful awareness tools for developing a new self-image with limitless potential

“So many of us labor under a mistaken idea about who we are and what we are capable of,” teaches Dienstmann. “Wise confidence is a skill that can be learned—a skill that you can learn. Though the journey can be challenging, the only requirements are a deep desire to change and a willingness to take ownership of your healing, growth, and purpose. It is time to reclaim your power—and your true self.”

Critic reviews

Wise Confidence masterfully presents a road map to self-empowerment, illuminating the journey from self-doubt to authenticity. The book’s unique blend of psychology, spirituality, and personal growth creates a comprehensive guide for building lasting self-assurance. As someone who writes and teaches about trauma, I’m often looking for resources to recommend, and this is one. If you’re seeking a transformative shift from limitation to empowerment, Dienstmann is a powerful guide to uncovering your true potential.”—David A. Treleaven, PhD, author of Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness

“Most books on this topic are either too new age, too theoretical, or filled with motivational platitudes. Wise Confidence stands apart as a well-written and down-to-earth manual to self-transformation, grounded in ancient spiritual principles.”—Dhyanse, author of 10 Bulls of Meditation

“In Wise Confidence, Giovanni invites you to embrace your aspirations and design your identity so you can authentically live from the inside out. The three pillars of self-confidence enable you to shift from self-doubt to self-belief and inner strength. This book emanates empowerment and peace—a rare and magical combination that fuels both greater success and fulfilment.”—Katie Stoddart, leadership coach and speaker, author of The Magic of Focus

I am a fan of Giovanni Dienstmann after discovering his work on the Insight Timer app. I would listen to his Mindful Self Discipline class, and take copious notes and focus on what was relevant for me. I enjoyed Giovanni's teaching style, because it encourages mindful awareness. It’s a real refreshing tonic from the other books. I have read both books (Mindful Self Discipline and Wise Confidence) multiple times. I have a hard copy and audiobook. I consider them to be a reference library of useful actionable information. I learn a little bit more each time I read them.
This new book “Wise Confidence” provides tools and techniques on how you can change your life. I have gifted both books to family and friends. I highly recommend.
My only negative feedback is that the audio version is not read Giovanni himself. I much prefer his voice, style and delivery of his material.

This book is a reference library of useful actionable information!

Grade- C-
Difficulty Level- easy read

From reading Giovanni’s previous book Mindful Self-Discipline, I was excited about this book. I’d heard of it before it was released and planned to read it for some time.

I wanted to read this book to ensure that my unwavering confidence & self-belief is applied wisely, but after reading it I realised that I didn’t really need this book at all. It isn’t bad, but its mainly for people with little self-confidence. If you’re already extremely confident, there’s no need to read this book.

Also, the author is someone who reads a lot, and a lot of the time I could tell the other books from which he got his information, and already knew the majority of lessons he wrote in this book from these other sources.

Like every book though, I wouldn’t say I regret reading it because I still learned some important things, such as the pains of self-doubt & more of a sophisticated understanding on the true importance of confidence.

However, this book is more suitable for people with little confidence & not much experience in reading personal development, as they will learn A LOT more than myself.

If youre already confident, no need to read
