The book, tilted The Confidence Code: The Science and Art of Self-Assurance, is co-authored by distinguished women journalists Katty Kay and Claire Shipman. Success depends as much on confidence as competence, according to Kay and Shipman, and there is “a vast confidence gap that separates the sexes”.

在这本名为《信心代码：女性应该掌握的自信科学与艺术》中，两位作者——同时也是出类拔萃的女性记者——凯蒂•肯和克莱尔•希普曼认为，自信和竞争力一样对成功都至关重要，而男女性别之间却存在“巨大的信心差异”。

In two decades of covering American politics as journalists, Kay and Shipman have interviewed some of the most influential women in the country. In their jobs and lives, they walk among women anyone would assume to be brimming with confidence. And yet their experience suggests many of these women are full of self-doubt.

在二十年的美国政治记者生涯中，肯与希普曼曾经采访过美国一些最具影响力的女性。她俩曾接触到了很多人们眼中信心满满的女性，但多年的经验让肯与希普曼发现，即使在这些女性中，也有很多人对自己充满怀疑。

High expectations

期待过高

Even Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg told the writers: “There are still days I wake up feeling like a fraud, not sure I should be where I am.”

就连Facebook的首席运营官雪莉•桑德伯格都曾在书中对作者坦言，“即使现在，我有时还是会一觉醒来觉得上天在耍我，并且怀疑自己应不应该待在现在的位置。”
