Evidence-basedPreliminary study results on this method show a large effect size on impostor syndrome (d=1.3, n=20), anxiety (d=0.6), & life satisfaction (d=0.7). Every bootcamp is another study, so you'll help further the understanding of the technique.

3 weeks, 1 hour a dayThis is not a theoretical class where you memorize definitions or whatnot. You will be practicing and actually (hopefully) getting rid of your impostor syndrome for good.

Practice with othersIt’s challenging to do an hour a day of practice for weeks. That’s why we’ll be pairing you with at least one meditation buddy who you’ll remotely meditate with.

How it works
- Fill out an intitial survey to establish your baseline confidence, impostor syndrome, and anxiety.
- Watch a 2-hour class. You'll attend a roughly 2-hour long recorded talk, explaining the technique. You'll be walked through the steps.
- Paired with accountability buddy. You'll be practicing for one hour every day for three weeks. You'll be paired with an accountability buddy for each session. You'll meditate with them over videocall at set times that work for both of you.
- WhatsApp group and office hours for questions throughout the bootcamp. You can ask the teacher questions over a WhatsApp group or on a videocall during office hours.
- Fill out final survey to see how things have changed, if at all. This will also contribute to the scientific understanding of this intervention. By filling this out you're contributing to societal knowledge.
Price: $400 unless you qualify for financial aid
The bootcamp is free for anybody working full-time in EA
Specifically, you qualify if you:
However, to help you actually do the technique, you will put down a deposit of $100-400 depending on your income. You will get it all back if you complete over 80% of the practice sessions. If you don’t, it will go to an anti-charity of your choice (e.g. Trump’s campaign fund).
If you qualify for financial aid but you'd rather not use this commitment device, then simply enroll the usual way and pay the regular price.
Free self-directed learning
Everything you need to apply the technique can be found in this article.
The bootcamp is mostly to provide the structure to help you actually implement it. You can simply do it on your own if the price or times don't work for you or you prefer more flexibility.
Specifically, you qualify if you:
- Work full-time in any EA job
- Donate ≥10% of your income to any EA cause. You have to have been giving 10% of more for a year or longer.
- You usually work full-time in EA but are having to take time off due to mental health reasons. You qualify if you were employed full-time at an EA job for longer than 6 months and you left within the last 12 months.
