Publisher's Synopsis
What if the judgment you fear isn't real-but a reflection of your own self-doubt?
In Rewired Perception, Justin R. Williams takes readers on a powerful, eye-opening journey into the psychology of self-perception, approval-seeking, and the false stories we tell ourselves about how others see us. Blending cutting-edge research with relatable personal reflections, this book explores why we care so deeply about being liked-and how to break free from that need.
From the spotlight effect to social media anxiety, mind-reading bias to the trap of people-pleasing, Rewired Perception reveals how much of our fear of judgment is imagined-and how to start living more authentically because of it. Each chapter offers not just insight, but practical tools for untangling from external validation and stepping into self-acceptance.
This book is for anyone who:
Overthinks social situations
Struggles with self-doubt or perfectionism
Feels held back by fear of judgment or rejection
Is ready to stop performing and start showing up fully
If you've ever asked yourself "What will they think?", this book will help you ask a better question: "What do I think, and why does that matter more?"
Let this be your guide to a freer, more grounded way of being-rooted in truth, not perception.
