"It’s time to banish self-doubt forever!"
The term ‘Imposter Syndrome’ was first coined in the 70s but in recent years has become widespread as the label that best describes those negative feelings of self-doubt that can creep in and affect our personal and professional lives.
According to a recent study 70% of us will experience Imposter Syndrome at some point - this is mathematically impossible if you think about it! In Ditch Your Inner Imposter the rise in the problem is attributed to a number of factors including a broader mental health crisis, unrelenting social media and an increase in under-represented groups breaking through into roles that were previously out of reach.
Now Ditch Your Inner Imposter has arrived to help you challenge those thoughts and feelings. The book is divided into two halves - A ‘What is it?’ section and a ‘How to fight it’ section. By the time I had read the first part and begun to understand what Imposter Syndrome is I felt I was already on the way to getting it under control.
Author Anna Lou Walker does a brilliant job of drawing on the work of doctors, psychologists and other experts to break down into bite-size chunks the roots of the problem. For example, there are different types of ‘Imposters’ and figuring out the one that applies to you is a major first step in getting rid of it. The book makes it easy to assess yourself, and in the second half you find out simple tasks and exercises to boost your self-belief.
In Ditch Your Inner Imposter you will take quick and easy steps towards being a more confident, centred and truer version of yourself. In the end, none of us would be where we are without genuine shining talent. You’ll be patting yourself on the back before you know it.
