by Dr. Jessamy Hibberd

Do you often feel like you’re not worthy of success and or what you’ve achieved? Are you constantly afraid that others will find out that you aren’t really as capable as they think you are? These are all symptoms of the imposter syndrome, which affects 70% of people at some point in their lives. In this book, clinical psychologist Dr. Jessamy Hibberd provides a step-by-step guide to help you understand and overcome the imposter syndrome.

In this summary, you’ll learn:

• What’s the Imposter Syndrome, where it comes from, how it works, and associated beliefs and responses (e.g. overworking and avoidance)
