Can just reading a self confidence book help you develop your self confidence? The answer, most likely, is no - you have to do some work, too. But the books explain the issue of poor self-confidence, help you identify whether the issue is relevant to you (which it probably is, if you are bothering to read the book at all!), and it can show you some directions in which to turn in order to build your self confidence. When looking for self confidence books, and other books on psychological issues, the ideas themselves are unlikely to be difficult or controversial. True, this can be a complex problem, with regard to possible causes and potential manifestations. At the same time, the issues regarding self confidence are fairly well understood by the psychological profession, so much of the material in many self confidence books will be fairly similar.
The issue, however, is whether you enjoy reading the book - whether the book 'speaks to you', so to speak. It is always best to choose a self-help book whose author you admire and agree with, and that has a style you enjoy reading. In this way, you are more likely to keep reading and to actually implement the ideas described in the self confidence books you read. This, like other psychological issues, requires your participation and work; you ahve to actively participate, not just read. For example, some books migh ask you to do writing exercises such as journaling, or they might even give you assignments of an interactive kind! If you are willing to do so, a self confidence book might be your first step to eliminating a deep-seated problem.
