Why people recommend it
Radical Confidence by Lisa Bilyeu is a self-help and motivational guide structured around practical lessons designed to help readers overcome self-doubt, build mental resilience, and take charge of their personal and professional lives. The book was featured prominently on two separate episodes of Jay Shetty's On Purpose podcast, first in July 2022 and later in May 2024. During the initial appearance, host Jay Shetty welcomed Lisa Bilyeu and introduced her book, emphasizing its collection of actionable, no-nonsense lessons aimed at empowering individuals to become the heroes of their own lives. Shetty praised the book's structured approach, noting that its ten lessons not only provided clear guidance on what steps to take next but also encouraged readers to critically evaluate their own thought processes. During the 2024 follow-up episode, Shetty revisited the publication, outlining core themes such as managing negative internal monologues, processing difficult emotions, overcoming failure, establishing personal value systems, and cultivating a growth mindset. Throughout both conversations, Bilyeu and Shetty stressed a foundational message of the book: that true confidence is not a mandatory prerequisite for taking action, and that individuals can successfully show up and pursue their goals even while feeling uncertain or insecure. Shetty repeatedly urged his audience to secure a copy of the book to help drive success in their careers, relationships, and everyday happiness.

“The book everyone is called 'Radical Confidence: 11 Lessons on How to Get the Relationship, Career, and Life You Want Today.'”
“But when you open up this book, you'll learn how to handle your negative voice, how you can overcome failure, how you can actually work through your emotions and understanding them, setting your value systems is a big part of this book, breaking through your beliefs, building that growth mindset is all inside this book called 'Radical Confidence.'”
“And of course, go and grab your copy of 'Radical Confidence.'”
“Lisa spends her days having real, uncensored conversations with the most inspiring women, and as an incredibly inspiring woman herself, she has written her first book called Radical Confidence: 10 No-BS Lessons on Becoming the Hero of Your Own Life.”
“But in having learned about her and her story, you know, she's very private, so I dismissed the fact that she probably wasn't confident but always showed up. And that's kind of what the book is about—that you don't have to always feel confident to show up!”
“And of course, you talk about it in the book—this idea of how we think we have to be confident before we do big things.”
“We think we have to have this courage and bravery before we do big things, and you go on to say in the book that actually, no, when you do these things, that's what makes you confident.”
“Now what I love about the book—and I do recommend everyone goes and grabs their copy—is it's called Radical Confidence!”
“I'm speaking to Lisa Bilyeu: 10 No-BS Lessons on Becoming the Hero of Your Own Life!”
“And in the book, just so everyone knows, Lisa goes through in chapter one—she always talks about how you can dream big, how you can change your life, how you can bet on yourself!”
“And so I think what Lisa does in Radical Confidence is each of these ten lessons, they're going to simply tell you what to do next, but they're also going to help you think about how these ideas work.”

“So, I've got a line in the book—it’s like a muscle.”
“So I also wanted to put a little asterisk to that, because in the book, I actually think it's like the first line is, guys, stop apologizing.”
“So like I think the example I give in the book is like, let's say, for instance, I choose, you know, me and very much like you, self-care is very important.”
