Publisher's Summary

Back Yourself. Believe. Achieve.

Imposter Syndrome doesn’t just affect middle-aged suits in big board rooms. The typical thoughts, feelings and behaviours that are part of the imposter experience - things like overwork, perfectionism and procrastination, hiding out, playing small and holding back – are common for so many of us.

This is not just a different name for self-doubt. It is pervasive and goes directly to your sense of self-worth and belonging. You don’t need a confidence hack. You need to go to the root cause of your feelings of unworthiness and learn to trust that you are enough.

Cultivating genuine self-belief and self-trust, knowing you deserve to be in any room regardless of who you are and where you come from, fully accepting your imperfect self, letting go of all the tricks you use to try to convince people you’re enough - the perfectionism, people pleasing and pretending - this is the key to happiness and personal success.

Psychologist Cassandra Dunn, creator of the popular Crappy to Happy podcast, has created a program with five clear steps – Recognise, Regulate, Reframe, Remember, Respond – so you can understand that you’re not a fraud. You do belong. You deserve success.

Steps to confidence

Cass took me from Crappy to Happy and now she's provided the steps from happy to confident! This isn't just vague motivation and inspiration, it's a simple, clear, practical action plan.

Great tools to reflect on- easy to understand and practice in real life situations.

I liked the easy to understand information given, I understood the themes playing out in my life that hold me back, and how I can recognise them and adapt my thinking to move forward to making changes for the better.
I liked that there was just good information, and no need for a back story or case study, who wants to hear another case study as an example to get the point across! It was just honest insight and steps to make lasting change.

Recommended reading for humans, presentation is a

I loved the content. Feels like it is a must read for humans as you or someone you know probably suffer from the limits of feeling like an imposter. I found something about the delivery to be a _little_ jarring but couldn't quite put my finger on it. A great listen overall.

Nothing new!

The information used on this book is not at all useful. For example, the author used the example where a boss dismisses your contribution and the author associated the boss's action "Perhaps the boss has some personal issues" this cliché example is not useful. Did the boss think for a minute the contributor was going through domestic violence at home? This cliché mental health useful example helps no one!!! We don't all walk around with a sign saying "Be careful when talking to me as I have had a bad day!" What happened CBT? This book is not worth the read!!!

Some great information

Overall, this book had some great ideas and recommendations, however I found certain parts long-winded and un-relevant to myself. Worth a listen

Couldn’t have come at a better time

The first 5 minutes where life changing for me. I have lived this life for nearly 50 years. I hope this blunt wake up call will define my new found self appreciation of owning my own success and self accomplishment rather than putting it down to luck. Thank you for the opportunity to see my own reflection and the tools to step out of a downward spiral

Well written and very relatable

I highly recommend this book to people who are struggling with confidence issues in work or life. It explains well about the different types of imposter syndromes and the tricks the mind plays on you. Also have strategies to cope and improve.

life changing

even if you don't struggle with imposter syndrome, this is a great read to understand the psychology behind thought processes and how to change embedded thought patterns. This has changed my whole perspective on how to manage inner thoughts and how to respond accordingly. thank you for providing me with a different perspective that has given me confidence to stop second guessing myself! highly recommend
