The Age of Fake Confidence
Leigh Rivers
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Scroll through social media and you’ll see it everywhere—smiles, success stories, bold declarations of certainty. But beneath the curated photos and polished personas lies a different reality: anxiety, self-doubt, and the quiet fear of not being enough. We live in an age where confidence is performed, not lived.
The Age of Fake Confidence pulls back the curtain on why so many people appear self-assured while secretly struggling inside. Blending psychology, cultural critique, and raw insight, this book exposes how our obsession with image has created a generation fluent in pretending—yet starving for authenticity.
Inside, you’ll discover:
The psychology behind why people fake confidence—and why it works (temporarily)
How social media fuels comparison, performance, and silent insecurity
The hidden costs of living inauthentically and chasing validation
Practical ways to build real confidence rooted in self-awareness and resilience
How to break free from the pressure to perform and embrace who you truly are
This isn’t a book about tearing yourself down—it’s about finally dropping the mask and reclaiming a confidence that can’t be faked.
If you’ve ever looked confident on the outside but felt lost within, The Age of Fake Confidence will show you why—and more importantly, how to change it.
