Review:
Firstly thank you to Random Things Book Tours, Aster and Dr Jessamy Hibberd for having me on this tour and sending me a copy of the book.
So I'm still actually working my way through this book, i took on what Dr Hibberd said at the beginning and decided to give each exercise a try and it meant that I've worked my way through this book at a slower pace than I thought I would. I found that some of the exercises were more difficult than others, in that I found what I needed to do hard to do like, and this might sound daft, listing my achievements. I find it very difficult to say when I'm good at something and find it even harder to admit it on paper. I completed exercises like that over time, I had to write some down and then walk away and do something before coming back to add to the list which might not be the way you're meant to do it but it worked for me.
I found Dr Hibberd's writing style quite friendly, she gives you a lot of information but in a style that doesn't make it feel like an information overload. I really liked that she gives you some much information on imposter syndrome, like she said getting to know it helps combat it and I found that a really useful way to think about it.
So far this has been a really insightful book and I've enjoyed the pace I've taken it at, I'm defiantly going to finish it and quite possibly then read it again after a short break because I always think books like this do better after a second read through to help information and techniques go in.
