Everyone’s favourite straight-talking personal trainer James Smith is soon set to embark on his world tour. Aptly named the ‘C-Word’, the double entendre actually refers to his new book, ‘How To Be Confident’, rather than his love of colourful language.
His latest release is the third instalment in a string of no-nonsense guides to gaining the tools to empower your decision-making. In the book, the no holds barred author of Not a Life Coach and Not a Diet Book sets out his candid, practical measures for improving self-esteem and confidence and living a genuinely happy and fulfilling life.
An accompanying description of the motivating manual reads: “Now, more than ever, we are so often lost within a cycle of negativity – from comparing ourselves to others and doom scrolling on social media, to a paralysis of choice and chasing external gratification that does nothing to nurture authentic happiness.
“We need confidence to master our true ambitions, realise our genuine strengths, and achieve the life we need, but might not know we want. Luckily, with his candid, no-nonsense advice, experience, and passion, James is here to lead the way.”
Nicknamed the Gordon Ramsay of the fitness world, the 30-year-old’s fresh live experience is sure to be packed full of honest tips delivered with his usual direct charm. You can also bet he’ll be debunking some more unhelpful social media fitness fads with his expletive-laden takedowns.
The British-born Bondi-based influencer will kick off the three-and-a-half-month tour on August 26 at the International Fitness Summit in Lisbon. James, who boasts 1.1m followers on Instagram and is seen as ‘The Dark Knight’ of the fitness realm, will then go on to perform dates in Wales, Scotland, England, Ireland, Dubai and eventually Australia.
James’ 304-page book, published by HarperCollins, is due to be released on September 1 and is retailing in all major bookstores and online.
