Why Smart People Doubt Themselves So Much

Описание: Why do smart people doubt themselves — even when they have the credentials, the results, and the track record to prove their competence?

This isn't a confidence problem. It's a psychology problem — and the science behind it is darker than most people realize.

In this video, we break down the Dunning-Kruger effect, the hidden mechanisms of metacognition, and why the most capable people in the room are systematically silenced by their own self-awareness — while overconfident mediocrity gets promoted.
You'll discover:
→ Why intelligence creates self-doubt (and incompetence creates false confidence)
→ The 4 psychological traps keeping smart people stuck
→ How overconfidence is used as a social weapon — and who benefits from it
→ A 7-step protocol to build calibrated, evidence-based confidence
→ When self-doubt crosses the line into a clinical issue
