Episode 3292:

Renee Benes explores the concept of "fake it til you make it" by tracing its roots to psychologist Alfred Adler and discussing its modern implications. While this approach can sometimes build confidence, it also has pitfalls, such as fostering overconfidence without substance. The article emphasizes the importance of combining confidence-building techniques, like power posing, with real efforts and achievements to avoid the dangers of superficiality.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.thefunsizedlife.com/fake-it/

Quotes to ponder:

"If somebody offers you an amazing opportunity, but you are not sure you can do it, say yes, - then learn how to do it later."

"This practice encourages people to 'fake' healthy habits until they become ingrained habits."

"There are things you can’t fake. You also have to show up and make the results happen."
