The Imposter Phenomenon: Why you feel like a fraud and what to do about it

Research indicates that 70-80% of people may experience imposter "syndrome" at some point. Celebrities such as Michelle Obama, Sheryl Sandberg and Tom Hanks have all spoken about their imposter feelings and even Einstein described himself as an "involuntary swindler". But self-doubt and a lack of confi dence are not the same as imposter
syndrome. In fact, it isn't a syndrome at all, it's a phenomenon.

This book challenges some of the common misconceptions about the imposter phenomenon. Grounded in academic research, you'll discover what it is, where these thoughts come from, the stresses and impact they cause, and most importantly, what you can do about them.

Build the inner courage to accept how good you are and banish those imposter thoughts.
