After identifying an insecurity, the next step seems simple: rationalize it with facts and then the insecurity disappears.

The truth is that it is much tougher than this. You can throw all sorts of logic and reason at an insecurity and it will be present in just as much force as before.

If you’re insecure about your successes, you might rationalize that you’ve done well, given that you have three degrees and a top consulting job.

But that’s not how it works. The insecurity will pop up at the next chance it gets.

And so we can’t fight it with a single, logical argument.

Rather, you need to slowly dismantle it over an extended period.

One brick at a time.
