  • Summary – proof of success is dismissed as luck, timing, or as a result of deceiving others into thinking they are more intelligent and competent than they really are. 70% of people will experience impostor phenomenon in their lives. Academy Award-winning actor Tom Hanks, best-selling writer Neil Gaiman, Sheryl Sandberg, actress Emma Watson and me too have experienced this!
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect (My old time fav’s)
  • a cognitive bias wherein people of low ability suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their cognitive ability as greater than it is. The cognitive bias of illusory superiority derives from the metacognitive inability of low-ability persons to recognize their own ineptitude
