Overcoming Imposter Anxiety by Ijeoma C Nwaogu, PhD

Don't let self-doubt and fear of failure keep you from reaching your full
potential!
Despite your accomplishments, do you ever worry that you aren't good
enough or capable enough? Have you reached high levels of success, yet still
suspect that you're just faking it?" If so, you may have imposter syndrome -the
persistent, internalized, irrational fear of being exposed as a fraud, even in the
face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. You aren't alone. Too often,
highly talented and successful people allow self-doubt to cloud their view of
themselves. So, how can you start celebrating your hard-earned success and
move forward in life with confidence?
In Overcoming Imposter Anxiety, imposter syndrome expert Ijeoma Nwaogu
offers proven-effective and culturally informed strategies grounded in cognitive
behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you stand up to imposter anxiety, alleviate
self-doubt and the fear of failure, and live with authenticity. You'll learn to
anticipate and understand the triggers that cause your imposter thoughts, and
discover ways to shift your mindset so you can move past fear, honor your
achievements, and focus on your goals.
You'll also learn how to:
• Respond to imposter thoughts and feelings
 • Overcome your fear of failure and affirm your competence
 • Embrace the qualities that make you unique
 • Build an encouraging support network
 • Help yourself by helping others
It's time to ditch self-limiting beliefs, so you can start living life with greater
courage, confidence, and authenticity. This book will help guide you, step by
step.
