Many individuals lack the unwavering confidence that fuels bold actions. This discrepancy is particularly relevant for those who identify as more reserved or timid, regardless of gender. These "wallflowers" often struggle with taking risks and making impactful connections in various aspects of life.

Young’s book "The Art of Action," which provides practical strategies for creating a positive impact and gaining confidence in overcoming fears.
