Arrogance & Imposter Syndrome

Imposter syndrome refers to a psychological pattern where an individual doubts their skills, accomplishments, and talents, and has a persistent fear of being exposed as a “fraud” or “impostor.”

On the other hand one might have good reason to doubt their skill, and their talents and accomplishments which really may not be worth bragging about.

Reading the Amazon reviews of books I’m reading in my current Themed Read I can’t help but feel as Seth Godin put it in his March 22rd, 2024 post on the arrogance of improvement.

Who are you to make things better?

How dare you raise your hand to help, offer an idea, take responsibility…

But then I remember, I’m not writing book reviews, I’m writing about a book experience, my own. And I’m sharing it, just in case you’d like to follow along.

Seth also said “If not you, who? If not now, when?”

The Practice – Seth Godin

“Ship creative work. On a schedule. Without attachment and without reassurance.” (Seth Godin, The Practice)

I bought this on Audible a few days ago. It was recommended by a business associate. I’ll read anything Seth Godin writes and this book doesn’t disappoint. Most often I listen to Audible when I’m going to sleep. So I purchased the Kindle version as well.

I am obsessed with and inspired by this book.

From My Zettlekasten

“If you want to create your work, it might pay to turn off your wi-fi for a day. To sit with your tools and your boundaries and your process and nothing else.” (Seth Godin, The Practice)
