Narcissism is a superiority complex. Impostor syndrome is an inferiority complex. Humility is a commitment to seeing yourself as complex. It’s about having self-awareness, not lacking self-confidence. The foundation of humility is accepting that you always have room for growth.
Strong social bonds can help protect us from the negative health effects of #stress, but finding positive support is often easier said than done. See all findings from APA's #stressInAmerica survey: at.apa.org/s86
The world is unfair to night owls. School: they're as bright as larks, yet get poorer grades—except in afternoon & evening classes. Work: if they start later but deliver identical hours & results, they're still penalized. We should let people engage when they're most alert.
Sharing credit doesn't hurt your image. It makes you look good. 7 studies: people who trumpet their strengths and successes look capable but self-centered. If they add a shout-out to others, they project care along with competence. Recognizing others serves you as well as them.

The more you bullshit, the more likely you are to fall for other people's bullshit. Data: those who exaggerate their expertise to impress others are more vulnerable to misinformation. When people speak without concern for the truth, they can't be trusted to recognize the truth.

People often like you more than you know. The fear of rejection leads us to ruminate about minor mistakes—and stops acquaintances, roommates, and colleagues from sharing how much they enjoy our company. Most people spend more time worrying about being judged than judging…

Toxic cultures exploit generosity. Takers impose extra work on givers, and no good deed goes unpunished. Healthy cultures reward generosity. People protect givers from takers, and cream rises to the top. Helpfulness is not a weakness to target. It's a strength to safeguard.

Being prepared for a new challenge isn't a matter of qualification. It's a matter of contribution. Impostor syndrome says "I'm not ready." Growth mindset says "I'll get ready." The question is not whether you belong. It's how you can make a difference. link.chtbl.com/RTAdam
Telling kids they're superior doesn't build self-esteem. It breeds narcissism. Research: narcissists don't suffer from a lack of love. They're the product of parents with inflated views of them. Healthy parenting says "you're special to me," not "you deserve special treatment."
Refusing to give up on a failing plan is not an act of resilience. It's a display of rigidity. Grit is not about persevering with a route that isn’t working. It’s about staying focused on a goal but flexible on the path. Healthy persistence requires peripheral vision.
Admitting uncertainty doesn't signal that you lack expertise. It shows that you see complexity. 12 experiments: we're more likely to follow advice that sounds like a weather forecast. We don't blindly trust those who claim to know. We trust those who know what they don't know.
Pay isn't a substitute for treating people well. Data: if leaders are kind, incentives are rewards to appreciate. But if leaders are jerks, incentives become threats to avoid. Selfish bosses turn carrots into controlling sticks. In the long run, the best way to win is to care.
Your work does not define your worth. A career is what you do—it doesn’t have to reflect who you are. Making a job part of your identity is an option, not an obligation. Your impact in the world doesn’t depend on how you make a living. It derives from how you live your values.
