" Psychology Of Being Self Confident And Socially Esteemed "- It is a book to be carried—like a lamp from the inner cave to the open field of one’s own life.
The latest book that Mr Shyamal Bhattacharjee has authored is a book which is named as- ::
“ Psychology Of Being Self Confident And Socially Esteemed ”.
Well , a person who never has studied the subject Psychology but a little bit of it when he was doing his studies of M . B . A . , his introductive exposure in terms of his studies on Industrial Psychology took him to make up his mind on applying the concept of Psychology to Self Esteem in terms of CONFIDENCE, and Socially Confident, in terms of SELF ESTEEM However his intensive thoughts and his measurement of the same to apply it , adding some few variants of the Management elective that he had studies, brought out this book which he has named as such, as ascribed above, and that is how the book has seen the light of the day.
This is what the book is all about - :
When The Mind Becomes Both- “ A MIRROR And A MAZE ”
There comes a moment in every human life when
the world’s noise thins into a distant hum, and one is left alone with an
unnamed question. It arrives quietly—like a bird pausing mid‑flight—hovering in
the silence before a decision, in the ache of watching others stride ahead
while one remains rooted. In that stillness, the mind becomes both mirror
and maze. We see ourselves sharply, yet cannot find the path out.
This is the inner cave where psychology is not merely studied, but born—raw,
intimate, and unfiltered. From this cave, Bhattacharjee invites us to
imagine a young person standing at the edge of a vast field—not a sports ground,
but the sprawling terrain of life itself. The body is ready, the heart is
willing, yet the feet hesitate. Thoughts scatter like startled birds: What if I
fail? What if I am judged? What if I am not enough? No external wall blocks the
way; the barrier is a thin, invisible membrane woven from doubt. This is the
quiet tyranny of low self-confidence, a struggle so common that it becomes
almost invisible.
The Steady Breath And The Unshaken Stride- ::
And yet, on the same field, another figure steps forward with steady breath and
unshaken stride. The world has not been kinder to them, nor the odds gentler.
But fear does not grip their ankles. Belief carries them like a wind at their
back. The difference between the two is not talent or luck—it is the unseen architecture
of the mind, shaping destiny one thought at a time.
Bhattacharjee’s book begins precisely at this
crossroads. Rather than shouting instructions from a distant hilltop, it sits
beside the reader in that dim inner chamber, lights a small lamp, and begins to
speak—softly, steadily—about fear and feeling, shyness and strength, the brain
and belief, defeat and escape, ambition and healing. The journey it offers is
not outward but inward, guiding the reader from the cave’s shadows toward the
open field of action.
A Quiet Cave Mouth At The Foot Of The Mountain - :
Some books demand attention; others invite it. This one beckons like a quiet
cave mouth at the foot of a mountain—mysterious, sincere, promising depth
rather than spectacle. Rooted in psychology yet nourished by lived experience,
Bhattacharjee’s work unfolds as both an academic reflection and a slow,
contemplative walk through the interior landscape where confidence trembles,
emotions surge, shyness hides, and self-esteem waits like a seed beneath winter
soil. Even the book’s opening gesture—the invocation of Lord Shiva—serves
as a metaphorical compass. Shiva, the ascetic and the householder, the
destroyer and the compassionate, embodies paradox. To invoke him is to signal
that this book, too, embraces dualities: strength and vulnerability, silence
and expression, fear and courage. Psychology here is not merely a western
discipline; it is something ancient, embodied, and deeply human.
Refusal To Imprison Psychology Within Definition - ::
In the preface, Bhattacharjee does something quietly radical: he refuses to
imprison psychology within definitions. Instead, he lets it breathe.
Psychology, he suggests, is something we feel before we name it. It rises with
us each morning, shaping whether we step boldly into the day or retreat into
ourselves. This framing democratizes psychology, transforming it from a
clinical subject into the invisible, and invinsible script behind every human action. This becomes
especially powerful in his treatment of self-confidence. Rather than equating
confidence with bravado, he introduces the idea of passive psychology—a subtle
internal containment where fear disguises itself as caution. It is a whisper,
not a shout. It advises waiting, choosing safety, avoiding risk. And in doing
so, it slowly erodes potential like water wearing down stone.
To illustrate this, Bhattacharjee turns to sport, particularly team dynamics.
The playing field becomes a metaphor for life’s arena. Every hesitant move,
every missed opportunity, every moment of self-doubt ripples outward, affecting
not just the individual but the collective. Confidence, he argues, is
contagious—and so is fear.
Self Esteem – Not An Ego But An Alignment - ::
The most stirring moment in the preface is the reflection on the 1975 Hockey
World Cup victory. This is not nostalgia; it is a living case study in applied
psychology. Bhattacharjee does not dwell on tactics alone. He speaks of
psyche—of a team so mentally aligned that every player carried the same inner
temperature of belief. The nineteen goals scored become less a statistic and
more a symptom of an invisible equilibrium. Here, the book reveals one of its
central truths: self-esteem is not ego. It is alignment. It is the quiet
certainty that one belongs, that one is capable, that one’s effort matters.
When this certainty is shared—across a team, a community, or a
society—extraordinary outcomes follow.
The structure of the book mirrors a psychological pilgrimage. Beginning with
the foundations of psychology, it moves gently into self-confidence, then into
feelings, shyness, emotionality, and the brain’s role in shaping esteem. This
progression echoes human development itself: we feel before we understand,
react before we analyze, struggle internally long before we seek solutions.
The repeated attention to shyness—its roots, manifestations, and
treatment—reveals the author’s compassion. Shyness is not dismissed as weakness
but explored as an emotional state with depth and dignity. By dedicating
multiple chapters to it, Bhattacharjee validates the millions who move through
the world quietly, often unseen even by themselves.
From Diagonis To Liberation - ::
Chapters like Escape, Ambition—How to Conquer It, and Getting to Know Oneself
suggest a movement from diagnosis to liberation. Escape is not running away but
stepping out of inherited narratives. Ambition is not demonized but
examined—its power to elevate or consume depending on one’s psychological
grounding. What distinguishes this book from many self-help texts is its
tone. Bhattacharjee does not speak from a pedestal. He speaks as someone who
has stood both in confidence and in doubt, both on the field and at its edge. The
chapters are short but “well-crafted,” offering clarity over
jargon, insight over ornamentation.
The presence of Ravi Teja Mandapaka as Chief Editor is felt in the coherence and rhythm of the work. The structure suggests careful shaping, ensuring that personal narrative, psychological insight, and practical application remain in harmony.
Ultimate Opinion And Personal View Of Aslam Sher Khan :: The Final Layers Of Endorsement
The endorsement by Aslam Sher Khan—World Cup champion and former
Union Minister—adds a final layer of resonance. His praise is not ceremonial; it
recognizes the book as a bridge between sport, psychology, leadership, and
literature. His bold wish that the author be considered for the Highest kind of national service and some very good responsibility at the World level may sound audacious, but it reflects the sincerity
and conviction with which the book has been written.
Ultimately, this book is not about psychology alone. It is about becoming. It is about understanding the forces that quietly sculpt our actions and learning—patiently, courageously—to reshape them. It speaks to the shy child, the hesitant adult, the ambitious youth, the reflective elder. It reminds us that confidence is not inherited but built; not loud but steady.
This is not merely a book to be read.
This is a book to be carried—like a lamp from the inner cave to the open field of
one’s own life.
