You Are Not a Fraud!
summary
Cites surveys (58% tech workers; up to 84% in entrepreneurs/executives) and defines imposterism as a gap between performance and an ideal standard. Uses five imposter types (Young), growth mindset and neuroplasticity as the theory, and practical tools: meditation, logs of new skills, weekly check-ins, naming the inner critic, and a compliment folder. Claims these reframes reduce overworking, procrastination, and burnout; a parking-lot anxiety anecdote and a post-encouragement drop in nerves illustrate effectiveness.
