It's the 10% happier podcast. I'm Dan Harris. Hello everybody how we do

how we do today confidence is a is a really interesting. So many people I know suffer from a lack of it.

Hence the joint interviews I've conducted on this show with my wife on the subject of

Impasture Syndrome. Many of us, however, also suffer from a surplus of confidence. of over a deep lack of confidence.

From the Buddhist perspective, however, confidence is not cockiness, it's something way

deeper, it's a kind of resilience in the face of whatever comes up.

My guest today calls it

holding your seat.

This is Ethan Nick Turns's third appearance on this show.

He's a Buddhist teacher and author.

His new book is called Confidence.

We talk about authentic versus performative confidence,

the line between humility and confidence,

a Buddhist list called the Eight Worldly Wins.

That's a fascinating list actually and he built this book around that list,

so we're going to dive into it pretty deeply.

We also talk about a slew of little practices you can do in order to boost your confidence or

or equanimity whatever you want to call it and the meaning of self-confidence in a

tradition that argues the self is an illusion. We'll get started with Ethan Nickturn right after this.

But for some blatant self-promotion, this will be quick.
