Most advice on imposter syndrome tells you to "fake it until you make it" or list your achievements in a mirror. But as anyone who has struggled with chronic self-doubt knows, these surface-level fixes rarely work. Imposter syndrome isn't a logical problem; it’s an emotional and neurobiological one.
In Imposter Syndrome: The Reset Protocol, Jamie Fitzjohn explores the clockwork of the human brain to explain why high achievers often feel like frauds. Drawing on a mix of modern neurobiology (including the role of the amygdala and the anterior cingulate cortex) and ancient philosophical wisdom, this book provides a comprehensive map for internal change.
The Reset Protocol is a three-stage framework designed to move beyond temporary mindset shifts and toward a permanent shift in identity.
