Imposter Syndrome
Audio-liburu honi buruz
Why do capable, accomplished people sometimes feel like frauds waiting to be exposed?
Despite qualifications, professional achievements, and external recognition, many individuals struggle with persistent feelings of inadequacy and the belief that their success is undeserved.
Imposter Syndrome explores the psychology behind this surprisingly common experience, examining why self-doubt can intensify precisely when people achieve greater success.
From the original research of Pauline Clance and Suzanne Imes to contemporary workplaces, universities, creative professions, and leadership roles, the book investigates perfectionism, social comparison, internalised expectations, and the tendency to dismiss personal accomplishments.
It also explores practical approaches to recognising distorted self-assessments, developing a more balanced understanding of competence, and reducing the influence of self-doubt on important decisions.
An accessible and insightful guide to understanding achievement, identity, confidence, and the psychology of feeling that you don't belong.
