Introduction
At some point, almost everyone has felt the insecurity of self-doubt.
The feeling that you don't belong, that you're not good enough, can make you feel like a fraud, an imposter.
But while these feelings can be harmful, it's possible to use them to your advantage in a healthy way.
University of Texas psychologist Kevin Cokley has spent his career studying imposter syndrome and how it can be transformed into an empowering force.
In this December 2021 episode of the Hidden Brain podcast, Cokley talks to NPR's social science correspondent and executive editor Shankar Vedantam about why imposter syndrome doesn't have to be an impediment.
