    About this audiobook

    It's only because they like me. I was in the right place at the right time. I just work harder than the others. I don't deserve this. It's just a matter of time before I am found out. Someone must have made a terrible mistake.

    If you are a working woman, chances are this inter­nal monologue sounds all too familiar. And you're not alone. From the high-achieving PhD candidate convinced she's only been admitted to the program because of a clerical error to the senior executive who worries others will find out she's in way over her head, a shocking number of accomplished women in all ca­reer paths and at every level feel as though they are faking it-impostors in their own lives and careers.

    In The Secret Thoughts of Successful Women, Valerie Young explains what the impostor syndrome is, why fraud fears are more common in women, and how you can recognize the way it mani­fests in your life. With her empowering, step-by-step plan, you will learn to take ownership of your success, overcome self-doubt, and banish the thought patterns that undermine your ability to feel-and act-as bright and capable as others already know you are.

      I started out thinking I’d skip big chunks of the 9hours of reading time. But I’m so glad I didn’t! This book had really great reframing examples in every chapter. The stories were just long enough to get the point across and move on. I wish more authors would write like her. I was feverishly writing notes through the whole thing.
    • 5/5
      100% must read for any woman in business - or any woman in general. Addresses feelings we’ve been conditioned to think are normal but totally are not - and why we don’t need to limit ourselves. Highly recommended.

      I found it really helpful. I Would recommend to others.
    • 5/5
      I don't think I'm going to write a very long review of this book, but I found it very validating, and I think/hope that this was a good point in my life for me to read this.
    • 4/5
      some useful parts on types of imposters. I've seen a lot of webinars on this topic but still got something out of the book
