The impostor syndrome is a phenomenon in which people consider themselves undeserving of success. They believe they got everything due to luck or other reasons beyond their control, and they fear that their incompetence and lack of viability will ultimately be exposed. That’s why such people can’t enjoy their achievements—and therefore can’t enjoy life at all.
The book explores the psychological impact of impostor syndrome on people’s behavior, uncovering the mysteries of self-doubt and fears experienced by millions of men and women.
By analyzing the causes and symptoms of impostor syndrome, clinical psychologist Jessamy Hibberd provides expert advice on how to change your toxic beliefs so you can see yourself differently, start accepting mistakes and failures as a natural part of life, gain confidence, and learn to value yourself as you are.
