Atheist/Secular books on self-confidence?....

RE: Atheist/Secular books on self-confidence?....
Try:

"You Are Not The Target" by Laura Huxley. (1955) It's A collection of Gestalt techniques rather than theory. They work.

Quote:Gestalt therapy is an existential/experiential form of psychotherapy that emphasizes personal responsibility, and that focuses upon the individual's experience in the present moment, the therapist-client relationship, the environmental and social contexts of a person's life, and the self-regulating adjustments people make as a result of their overall situation.

A famous self help book is "I'm OK You're OK" and the sequel "Staying OK". There are probably newer, better books around,but I'm familair with and can recommend these.

Quote:I'm OK, You're OK, by Thomas A Harris MD, is one of the best selling self-help books ever published. It is a practical guide to Transactional Analysis as a method for solving problems in life. From its first publication during 1969, the popularity of I'm OK, You're OK gradually increased until, during 1972, its name made the New York Times Best Seller list and remained there for almost two years. It is estimated by the publisher to have sold over 15 million copies to date[1] and to have been translated into over a dozen languages[citation needed].
