Doubt Riding Shotgun: Learning to Recognize, Engage, and Love Your Doubt

By: Hill, Dave, Jr.

I didn't think anyone would like this book. That's why I wrote it.

Truth is, everyone has self-doubt. The key is HOW you work with your inner critic. In this book, you'll learn where doubt helps you and when doubt gets in the way. In Doubt Riding Shotgun, I use the metaphor as a way of working with self-doubt more intelligently and with greater compassion. Come explore your self-doubt with me and I'll share how I've learned to work with doubt differently. I'll also share some of my client's stories. It's time for a new relationship with self-doubt and I'd like to invite you on a road trip to ride along as I teach you a new perspective.

"Highly recommend this helpful book with great insights on self-doubt and working with our inner critic "
Michael Shrieve, Original Drummer and Percussionist for Santana, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

"In my 53 years of life, only two other books have led to an inflection point in the way I live my life. I never thought that this self-doubt was something that can be overcome. The author gives a perfect combination of high-level thoughtfulness, pragmatic advice, and personal anecdotes to help us understand why we suffer from self-doubt and how to overcome and rise above it, while also appreciating its beneficial side (i.e. keeping us out of trouble). This will be a book I re-read every year and share with friends - no doubt about that."
Jonathan Walton, Musician and Software Architect

"Dave expresses the notion that your doubt can be very similar to close family members or friends in your life in that you could choose to listen to and reason with their opinions or sometimes choose to politely disagree with them and agree to disagree. Learning to hear your doubt, but not always choose to listen to it is a very powerful paradigm shift when navigating some of your own fears. Doubt Riding Shotgun has been very helpful in helping me reframe and reconsider how to navigate my own self doubt."
Stanton Moore, Drummer, GRAMMY Award-winning musician, Award-winning author and educator

"A book on a tough subject that is surprisingly fun to read. The author is very authentic and feels like a friend who is there to help us along our collective journey of finding a more empowered relationship with our doubts. I'm glad for this book "
