>>Do you secretly worry others will find out 
>>youíre not as intelligent and competent as they 
>>seem to think you are? Do you often dismiss 
>>praise for your accomplishments? Are you 
>>crushed by even constructive criticism, taking 
>>as evidence of your ineptness? Does the thought 
>>of not knowing what youíre doing strike fear in 
>>your heart? Despite overwhelming evidence to 
>>the contrary, a surprising number of bright, 
>>capable, and often highly successful people 
>>dismiss their achievements as luck, charm, or 
>>other external factors. Hear the real reason 
>>many high achievers are ambivalent about 
>>success. Discover how to stop the perfectionism 
>>and procrastination that can undermine your 
>>success.
>>

>>graduate students, postdocs, faculty, and any 
>>interested members of the MIT community.
