Does anyone have recommendations for books that deal with imposter syndrome and/or dealing with it?
Context: I’m currently building my own business and moving towards self-employment. I got a few free coaching sessions through my job, so I’ve begun meeting with a business coach. Today, we touched on the issue of imposter syndrome. I’m familiar with the concept, but I want to read up on it before my next coaching session. I’ve seen memes about imposter syndrome in software development, which is a hobby of mine, but I haven’t come across it much in the context of starting a business or in videography. I’m pretty sure it exists in these areas too, though.
I’d recommend one, but I’d probably just get it wrong.
There, the obvious joke has been made.
Thank you for the laugh!
I think something general on methods in cognitive behavioral therapy could be useful. It is boring, but effective in my experience.
I’ve heard of CBT, I’ll have a look into it, thank you!
I second this one. CBT is the current scientific golden standard for when you’re your own enemy in general.
“Every man and woman is a star.” - Liber AL vel Legis, Aleister Crowley.
Nobody else has anything that you don’t have, and you have the ability to become any kind of person you need to be to accomplish your goals. The voice in your head is your biggest enemy, and it doesn’t always know what it’s talking about.
Not imposter syndrome per se but meditations by Marcus Aurelius could help.
I’ll take a look, thank you!
