With imposter syndrome, you probably feel like a fraud or believe that your achievements are not genuine. This can lead to a lack of confidence and feelings of inadequacy, which can hold you back from taking on new challenges and pursuing your goals. You might also avoid seeking out opportunities, promotions, or recognition for fear of being "found out". This syndrome also causes anxiety, stress, and even depression, which can harm your mental health and overall well-being. In turn, it can affect your ability to focus, be productive, and make healthy decisions. If you've encountered any of this, know that you aren't alone. Imposter syndrome is common, and even many famous people have experienced it at some point in their lives. Recognizing it and developing a plan to overcome it are crucial for achieving success and happiness. In this book I'll cover what imposter syndrome looks like, feels like, how it affects your life, where it stems from, and ways to deal with it. I know these strategies work because I've used them to help countless clients and also to overcome it myself. For decades I struggled with feelings of inadequacy and fear of being found out that I had no idea what I was doing, or that I really wasn't as great as everyone thought I was. Over time I released all of that stress and built up the confidence I needed to take off that false mask and be the real me. I also discovered that I was much better and far more competent than I used to believe I was!

Learn to take ownership of your success, overcome self-doubt, and banish the thought patterns that undermine your ability to feel—and act—as bright and capable as others already know you are with this award-winning book by Valerie Young. It’s only because they like me. I was in the right place at the right time. I just work harder than the others. I don’t deserve this. It’s just a matter of time before I am found out. Someone must have made a terrible mistake. If you are a working woman, chances are this inter­nal monologue sounds all too familiar. And you’re not alone. From the high-achieving Ph.D. candidate convinced she’s only been admitted to the program because of a clerical error to the senior executive who worries others will find out she’s in way over her head, a shocking number of accomplished women in all ca­reer paths and at every level feel as though they are faking it—impostors in their own lives and careers. While the impostor syndrome is not unique to women, women are more apt to agonize over tiny mistakes, see even constructive criticism as evi­dence of their shortcomings, and chalk up their accomplishments to luck rather than skill. They often unconsciously overcompensate with crippling perfec­tionism, overpreparation, maintaining a lower pro­file, withholding their talents and opinions, or never finishing important projects. When they do succeed, they think, Phew, I fooled ’em again. An internationally known speaker, Valerie Young has devoted her career to understanding women’s most deeply held beliefs about themselves and their success. In her decades of in-the-trenches research, she has uncovered the often surprising reasons why so many accomplished women experience this crushing self-doubt. In The Secret Thoughts of Successful Women, Young gives these women the solution they have been seek­ing. Combining insightful analysis with effective ad­vice and anecdotes, she explains what the impostor syndrome is, why fraud fears are more common in women, and how you can recognize the way it mani­fests in your life.
