Books on imposter syndrome (lemdro.id)

Does anyone have recommendations for books that deal with imposter syndrome and/or dealing with it?

Context: I'm currently building my own business and moving towards self-employment. I got a few free coaching sessions through my job, so I've begun meeting with a business coach. Today, we touched on the issue of imposter syndrome. I'm familiar with the concept, but I want to read up on it before my next coaching session. I've seen memes about imposter syndrome in software development, which is a hobby of mine, but I haven't come across it much in the context of starting a business or in videography. I'm pretty sure it exists in these areas too, though.

I second this one. CBT is the current scientific golden standard for when you're your own enemy in general.
