Faking It Chapter 2: The Art of Uncertainty
As we discussed in Chapter 1, The Basics, the art of faking it is not just about pretending to be confident, it's about embracing the art of uncertainty. In this chapter, we'll dive deeper into the world of Technique 2: The Power of Projection, where you'll learn how to project confidence onto others to make them believe you're actually confident.

The key to faking it is not just about appearing confident, but also about creating an illusion that you're confident. This is where the power of Technique 3: Body Language comes in. By using specific body language and posture, you can create an illusion that you're confident, even if you're secretly quaking in your boots.
