Impostor syndrome is one of many therapy-speak words that have gone mainstream in the past few years \\u2014 but what is it, really? Aparna Nancherla knows all about it.

In this episode, she talks about the ways she\\u2019s learned to deal with impostor syndrome: like creating a resume listing all her failures, or making up words at parties to gauge other people\\u2019s reactions. She also shares how she learned to put less stock in success and what to do when your mind isn\\u2019t telling you the truth. For the full text transcript, visit go.ted.com/BHTranscripts
