The Successful Author Mindset discusses some common author pitfalls, like imposter syndrome, the dip after publication, and self-doubt. This book is part motivational speech, part commiseration. While it seems like it would be reasonably helpful to some people (as the high ratings indicate) I found the 'antidotes' rather shallow. After reading a book like [b:Scratch: Writers, Money, and the Art of Making a Living|29430716|Scratch Writers, Money, and the Art of Making a Living|Manjula Martin|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1463042117l/29430716._SY75_.jpg|49695279] I'm aware of just how deep author's insecurities can run, and I wonder if a two-paragraph pep talk is really enough to battle imposter syndrome or anxiety.

Your mileage may vary.
