Over 70% of people will experience the imposter syndrome at some point in their lives. For instance, did you know that telling someone how amazing they are can make things even worse? Celebrities such as Michelle Obama, Sheryl Sandberg and Tom Hanks have all spoken about their imposter feelings and even Einstein described himself as an âinvoluntary swindlerâ. But self-doubt and a lack of confidence are not the same as imposter syndrome, and in fact, it isnât really a syndrome at all. This book challenges some of the common misconceptions about the imposter syndrome. Grounded in academic research, this book covers what the imposter phenomenon is, where these thoughts can come from, the impact they can have, the stresses they cause and, importantly, what you can do about them. Containing insights from ground-breaking research investigating how finding the inner courage to accept how good you are can help banish imposter thoughts. This book explains the pitfalls and the intricacies of what is really a phenomenon â an occurrence at certain points in time â and how you can help yourself and others who experience it. |
