Recommendation
As an African-American woman who grew up in poverty, Joyce Roché reports she suffered self-doubt all her life, no matter how much she achieved. She explains how she – and others – have grown past that barricade and how you can, too. Psychologists refer to this manifestation of a lack of self-worth as the “imposter syndrome”: the feeling that you are a fraud and will be exposed one day. Roché discusses the imposter syndrome, how it hurts and hinders, and what sufferers can do to move ahead and triumph. Many people suffer from others’ biases, and build their lives and their careers without ever feeling secure or worthy. This includes those who are often mistreated or disdained, including women, minorities and the poor. Roché discusses the imposter syndrome, how it hurts and hinders, and what sufferers can do to move ahead and triumph. She presents a brave, beautiful and important autobiography. getAbstract recommends her insights to all who suffer crippling self-doubt, as well as those who care about them or work with them.
