Author’s Note

From the moment I first scribbled down my own thoughts of feeling like a fraud, and during the entire course of preparing this book, I collected many books, notes, blogs, videos, lectures, diaries, and journal publications on the Imposter Phenomenon. Wherever possible, I have tried my utmost to acknowledge the original sources.

It is also important to note that my thoughts, assertions, and interpretations described herein are (except in the case of particular acknowledgements) entirely my own. But make no mistake, I share it all to help you manage the imposter experiences that might be holding you back. I offer you my story with absolute sincerity, and I am in no way attempting to represent a particular institution or public body. I don’t wish to lay blame or point fingers at anyone for anything that you are about to read.

This is all on me. For you.
