This is a nice and quite comprehensive guide/insight to understand imposter syndrome. I think we all can relate to the topics since I believe at some point all of us feel like an imposter. This book however, gives more effect for me (and maybe you too) who get imposter syndrome almost all the time, for a long time. Highly recommended and would be great to pair with 52 weeks of wellbeing by Ryan Hopkins!

I just reviewed The Imposter Cure by Dr Jessamy Hibberd. #TheImposterCure #NetGalley

I loved this book! I found the whole book both incredibly informative and useful to understand myself and my feelings but not overwhelming as can often be the case with this type of book.

I found this book to be relatable and practical as well as easy to read. I found it to be well broken up so you can navigate to sections as and when you need them or are looking for something specific. This book gave me a lot to consider and contemplate after reading which I really enjoyed!

I loved the personal tone of the writing which makes it feel like you're just having a chat with a friend!

Imposter syndrome is a phenomenon in which people believe they are not worthy of success. They convince themselves that they have done well due to luck and are terrified their shortcomings will eventually be exposed, making it impossible to enjoy their accomplishments.

You've Got This explores the psychological impact of imposter syndrome and exposes the secrets fears and insecurities felt by millions of men and women. Dr Jessamy Hibberd provides sound expert advice to help the reader better understand the problem and overcome it, so they think differently, gain self-belief and learn to see themselves as others do

I found this book to be a really useful tool and I thought it was written in a really clear, concise manner. Each chapter has a question that is answered throughout the chapter and how you can apply it which is a really helpful way to execute the message. I also felt using case studies to be a useful tool as it shows real life examples.

I think this is a fantastic book to use but if not ready to face yourself, the directness might be distressing to some as it can open up wounds, however if you stick with the tools and push through it, you can definitely find the advice helpful.

Read the electronic version as well as listening to the audiobook.
I found this book super interesting. Jessamy Hibberd is super relatable and uses her own experience and personal anecdotes as well as factual info. There was a ton of info here, and I would definitely need a re-read to be able to absorb everything fully - however, despite the vast amount of info - it never felt overwhelming.
really great book!

Thanks NetGalley, Octopus Publishing publisher, and the authors for a great advance copy of the book in exchange for my honest review!

From the first page, I already asked myself was this book written for me. It's such a relatable and practical book. The book is nicely structured and written in a simple voice and friendly tone. While reading the book, I thought that I was in the same room with the author as friends. We talked, and she gave me very good and practical advice so I could deal with my issues.

If you want to read a non-fiction book about imposter syndrome but feel skeptical because you have always been thinking that non-fiction books are dry, lengthy, not helpful, and not straightforward then this book is for you. The book has less than 200 pages but the author manages to deliver very powerful messages along with many good practical exercises and introspective questions for you to think for yourself.

The only drawback I could think of is that I didn't see the author mention modesty. I'm quite sure that sometimes we come from a culture that values modesty so much that it becomes a habit to tell ourselves the things the author mentioned in the book. What would be the boundary for this so that it's not considered a part of this imposter syndrome?

Exceedingly readable, this book is honest and helpful. It doesn’t deny that the hard work is in doing the work and sets out a clear plan to help you do this.

Really easy to read and broken down into sections that help you move around as needed.

A great book to read and reflect on. I have found it helpful already and am sure on further reflection it will continue to help.

Imposter syndrome isn’t really a new concept, but The Imposter Cure seems to treat it like the average person has never heard of it (the average person has heard of it, right?!). It rubs me up the wrong way - something about the oddly patronising tone that is somehow simultaneously over-familiar. As much as the chapters indicate that imposter syndrome is multifactorial, author Hibberd’s answers are simplistic and generalised, as if every person’s fix is the same: just think about it differently. Just feel better! Just believe in yourself! Looking at Hibberd's other titles, easy promises for difficult situations seems to be a trend. See This Book Will Make You Happy, This Book Will Make You Confident, This Book Will Make You Sleep...

There were one or two interesting concepts, and useful viewpoints, but overall The Imposter Cure is a miss for me. If a complete book can even be written about imposter syndrome, this isn’t quite it.

I'm really glad to receive the newly updated 2024 version as I loved the original book. It was the first book I've ever read about imposter syndrome and the book that made me realise how common it is. I've always felt like I was not good enough (i.e. a fraud) and the book gives great ideas and strategies on how to overcome this. I particularly appreciate that there are case studies included, which make the book more relatable. The updated edition is good to re-affirm what I learnt from the original edition.
