I'm a neuroscientist, Ivy League graduate, and UCLA professor who's sold more than 200,000 books ... and I still DOUBT myself a lot. But I don't worry about it too much anymore. It's a part of having a brain that's a particular combo of analytical, achievement-oriented, and empathic (for example, narcissists don't worry about being disliked). That self-doubt used to be a problem for me, because...

Thank you.
The three properties I lived in/on in Altadena as a young child burned. I’m decades past sensing them as home AND it’s very “weird” to know they’re gone - as if they should be there forever. I have so much empathy for those who lost so much in their present lives as a consequence of the fires. I've shared this video on Facebook and Bluesky.

I love this information! Thank you so so much for posting it. I just had a meltdown today where I was aware that I was back in an old pattern and became so frustrated that I’ve worked on getting out of it for such a long time and didn’t experience it for long. But here it was and now next time I’ll try to remember also to acknowledge it and not only to become aware of it and try to push it away.
Thank you so much for posting this! Had SO many aha moments! It was interesting to find out about self-compassion and how the brain works and how important it is. For example for me to make real changes I really need to understand how everything works, so thanks again!!!!
Great! Never too late!🎉
