English Summary/英文概要： God may be dead, but getting through Finals will take a miracle
The nineteenth-century philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche said that whatever does not kill us makes us stronger.
Nietzsche was obviously never forced to down an entire jar of stilton by a six-foot, fifteen-stone rugby player...
Ellie Taber’s final year at university is hurtling to a close at alarming speed. Defeated by her philosophy dissertation and uncertain as to why she can’t quite commit to her faultlessly supportive boyfriend, she is disenchanted with university life. Charlie, on the other hand, is determined to use his final year to become the man he was always meant to be. He plans to play the field, do just enough work to secure his degree, finally develop his brilliant business idea and basically have an awesome time.
They are both in for a surprise.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 或许上帝已死，但要穿越最终的终点仍旧需要一个奇迹的发生。
十九世纪的哲学家尼采曾经说过，那些没有战胜我们的一切最终都将使我们变得更加强大。
很显然，尼采从未在一名六英尺高，两百一十磅的橄榄球运动员吞下一罐斯蒂尔顿奶酪。。。。。。爱丽•泰伯大学生涯的最后一年就这样以一种令人担忧的速度奔向终点。她的哲学论文令她挫败不已，她也不确定自己为何无法专注于毫无保留地支持自己的男友，大学生活对她而言已然变得毫无吸引力。和爱丽截然相反的是查理，他决定利用这最后一年让自己成为理想的男子汉。他打算好好游戏人间，做好功课以顺利保住学位，最终形成自己睿智无比的商业理念并同时尽全力享受美妙的时光。
他们都注定将收获一个巨大的惊喜。(DC)
Awards/获奖情况："A highly original interplay of narrative and philosophy, fiction and non-fiction, Confidence made me laugh out loud, then sink my head in the pillow realising what the meaning of life really is. If a book could be called ambidextrous, Confidence would be it." ―Robert Rowland Smith, author of BREAKFAST WITH SOCRATES
"Confidence reminds us just how practical the search for wisdom is, and how relevant to everyday life the thoughts of a philosopher with an imposing moustache and difficult-to-pronounce surname can be." ―Brennan Jacoby, School of Life
