Publisher's summary

A personal and professional guide to the latest research on imposterism and psychological flexibility, this book is the professional’s handbook to combating “impostor syndrome” and overcoming self-doubt to achieve career success.

Dr. Jill Stoddard is a recovered imposter. For years, she was convinced that the only reason she was accepted into a competitive grad school program was because her father knew the program director. Dr. Stoddard isn't alone in this: deep down, the majority of successful people question their professional legitimacy a good amount of the time.

Why do we do this, and how can we stop? Although she's in recovery, Dr. Stoddard still struggles with feelings of imposterism. She works through them with psychological flexibility, the ability to be present with all thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and urges, fully and without defense, while making conscious, deliberate choices based on what deeply matters to a person. Essentially, we're not attempting to change the substance of the thoughts and feelings that naturally occur to us; instead, we change the way we relate to those thoughts and feelings, so we aren't caught up in constant battle to control them.

Throughout Imposter No More, Dr. Stoddard lays the groundwork for understanding the imposter phenomenon; she outlines the traps professionals often fall into regarding their imposter feelings, and provides actionable steps for cultivating psychological flexibility to be able to choose bold career moves despite self-doubt and imposterism.

Critic reviews

"Imposter syndrome has been a buzz word of late, particularly when it comes to women in the workplace. Stoddard is masterful at using her extensive training as a psychologist to address the why of impostor feelings while providing a blame-free practical guide to claim our power and confidence. This is a beautiful book."—Eve Rodsky, best-selling author of Fair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do (and More Life to Live) and Find Your Unicorn Space: Reclaim Your Creative Life in a Too-Busy World

"Do I really deserve this promotion more than my colleague? Can other moms tell I am more of a hot mess than everyone else? Am I capable of coming through the way my boss expects me to? Any person who has ever been plagued with feelings of self-doubt needs this read. Imposter No More helps us figure out what triggers this crippling negativity and how to overcome it so that we can live a truly more confident and courageous life."—Ericka Sóuter, frequent Good Morning America contributor and author of How to Have a Kid and a Life: A Survival Guide

"Yikes—am I a blurb imposter? I truly love the revelations that come fast and thick in this book, starting with: Whatever you worry you're not actually good at is what you actually care about. That was just the first of the jaw-droppers, soul-savers, life-changers. Plenty more where that came from!"—Lenore Skenazy, author of Free-Range Kids: How Parents and Teachers Can Let Go and Let Grow, and president of Let Grow
