"In 2011 the Capstone imprint of John Wily & Sons published Whats Stopping You? a book exploring why smart people often fail to reach their potential. This was Robert Kelseys first successful book after what he perceived as the failure of his debut book, a lad-lit comedy detailing his life as a British investment banker in New York. Indeed, that book The Pursuit of Happiness was written to explain Roberts perceived failure as a banker: one selling highly toxic financial products to the likes of Enron. Whats Stopping You Being More Confident? is the second in Roberts series of books on the insecurities that wreck the careers and lives of otherwise highly intelligent and seemingly very capable people. Having overcome his phobia of public speaking, he also gives the occasional talk on the subject. He lives with his wife and two boys in London and Suffolk. http://www.robert-kelsey.co.uk/ 'Commonsensical advice for the intelligent reader' (Management Today, June 2012) 'A good book to dip in and out of if you have a fear of failure or have confidence issues...a fluent, readable style'.
