👍 Worth It
Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic flips the usual script here, arguing competence beats confidence and backing it with real psychology research rather than the usual hype — a genuinely fresh angle in a genre full of cheerleading. It covers career, relationships, and health without losing focus. And Sean Pratt, a seasoned pro with 600-plus audiobooks under his belt, is a safe bet for a clean listen.
