Description

Despite your accomplishments, do you ever worry that you aren't good enough or capable enough? Have you reached high levels of success, yet still suspect that you're just "faking it?" If so, you may have imposter syndrome-the persistent, internalized, irrational fear of being exposed as a fraud, even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. You aren't alone. Too often, highly talented and successful people allow self-doubt to cloud their view of themselves. So, how can you start celebrating your hard-earned success and move forward in life with confidence?

In Overcoming Imposter Anxiety, imposter syndrome expert Ijeoma Nwaogu offers proven-effective and culturally informed strategies grounded in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to help you stand up to imposter anxiety, alleviate self-doubt and the fear of failure, and live with authenticity. You'll learn to anticipate and understand the triggers that cause your imposter thoughts, and discover ways to shift your mindset so you can move past fear, honour your achievements, and focus on your goals.

You'll also learn how to:

- Respond to imposter thoughts and feelings
- Overcome your fear of failure and affirm your competence
- Embrace the qualities that make you unique
- Build an encouraging support network
- Help yourself by helping others

It's time to ditch self-limiting beliefs, so you can start living life with greater courage, confidence, and authenticity. This book will help guide you, step by step.
