Self Asteem becoming a distant memory

[bolo]

Hey All,

Basically just wanted to see if anyone can recommend any books on Confidence/Self Asteem. 33 Yrs old now and this past year has seen my stutter get worse. With those closest to me whom I have generally had the ability to totally hide my stutter or just can talk to fluently, I've seen recently a more frequent pattern of times where I have to really think about what I'm going to say and the pause turns into a longer pause then I usually dont say anything. But without going into details I think the most fluent time of my life was when I came back to the UK after travelling around the world for a year and was full of confidence. I needed a job and actively rang companies to arrange interviews. Telephones are the bane of my existince, I'd rather gauge my own eyes out with stinging nettles than make a call to anyone. It's getting me really low.
I feel if I look into building up my self confidence again hopefully I may even get back to the stage where I arent so scared of speaking to people.

So if anyone has any recommendations it would be appreciated.

Rgds

the alchemist...Paulo coelho and most other Paulo Coelho books are very uplifting, why dont u start with that.
Also a recent one i read that i liked was the secret by Rhonda Byrne. teaches you a new way to look at life.
