Christine Myler

Christine Myler makes a psychology-backed argument that in a world that rewards confidence more than competence, strategic unfounded confidence is the rational response. She is not selling toxic positivity or manifestation. She has evidence, she has a therapist, and she will call out the system’s irrationality while teaching you to exploit it.

Her writing is irreverent, sharp, and quotable — the energy of your smartest friend who is delusionally confident and it keeps working out. She names privilege, systemic barriers, and the confidence tax honestly. Her argument is not “just believe harder.” It is: if the game is rigged, playing it “realistically” guarantees you lose. She recommends you get a therapist too.
