I was born 1948 in Germany. I am married with Monika and I have two adult sons. Since the mid 1960s I had a
successful management-career as salesman, sales-manager, branch-manager and self-employed business-owner. In the mid 1980s I started
my professional positive thinking services.

From 1985 to 1989 I was founder and manager of the "POSITIVE-CENTRUM" in Bremen, Germany and leader of the "POSITIV e.V." a
German language positive thinking association with 35 groups and about 1000 registered members throughout Germany, Austria
and Switzerland.
Between 1986 and 1990 I wrote and published several positive thinking books. They sold over
100.000 copies in more than 12 German language Editions.

In 1990 I moved from Bremen to Hamburg, Germany, where I made my living as professional positive thinking teacher and
trainer. I was the main speaker in more than 1.000 positive thinking meetings, including weekly lectures in the University of
Hamburg.
In 1992 my wife and I decided to end our activities in Germany and to expand our international
experience.
Starting 1993 we studied other countries and their spiritual techniques in order to prepare ourselves for worldwide
service activities. In the following years we stayed in India (Bombay, Bangalore), United States (Florida, California),
United Kingdom (London, Jersey), Spain (Canary Islands, Baleares) and other places. In these years I studied the main religions of the
east and the west and many of the so-called New Age techniques like channeling, energy work and others, in order to become a
complete spiritual person and to be able, to write and to speak about them in a professional
way.
In 1997 I decided to change my main service language into English and therefore I registered MANFRED CONFIDENCE as
my legal pseudonym and worldwide service name.

For me, to be a positive thinking professional, means, to know from my own experience what I am writing and talking about.
Beside my many successes in life, I also had times, when I was unsuccessful. Therefore I understand difficult situations in life and I
am able, to teach people of all ages, how to overcome "negative" times by practicing Self Help techniques, self-motivation and a
combination of positive thinking and acting.
After all this, I started my positive thinking services again in the second quarter of 2008. Today it is my
mission, to deliver quality positive thinking to students and professionals worldwide in a professional way - based
on my books and my global positive thinking teaching and training system "The Areas and Levels of Positive
Thinking".
