This is a straightforward book, written by a qualified psychotherapist, looking at Imposter Syndrome and how you can work to overcome it. Straightforward perhaps, in that it could be read and understood by anyone, but still packed full of deeply researched information. It’s reassuring to read case studies and find the ‘voices’ in your head telling you ‘you’re useless’ and ‘they’ll find out’ are actually surprisingly common. Even among really accomplished people.

Ms Henley discusses processes to help people address their issues and I’ll be trying some of the techniques.

A clear, well written helpful book which should be on the bedside locker of anyone who recognises they have issues with Imposter Syndrome.

I was given a copy of the book by NetGalley

I like this little book. As a coach, and as a human it’s something I see and deal with daily. It gave a new perspective for me, especially around loneliness and shame which I hadn’t associated with imposter syndrome so much. I also liked the simple explanation of the emotional freedom technique and i think this is something that everyone can try quite easily. People very easily ignore the link between mind and body and this offers a simple way to connect back into yourself. Thanks to NetGalley for the chance to read this.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Firstly, I loved the dedication to the clients. This book explains imposter syndrome and the scale it can be experienced on well. There are great exercises throughout, especially the chapter on tapping and the diaphragmatic breathing taught in the breathing technique. I liked that there was a whole chapter on social medias as they can be so detrimental for comparing ourselves to others and feeding imposter syndrome.

Find Your Path through Impostor Syndrome is an excellent and easy-to-read book. It is also very affirming and tackles important aspects of impostor syndrome, such as perfectionism, self-sabotage, and core beliefs.

I appreciated the practical exercises, which make the insights actionable.

My biggest takeaway is that the voices telling you you're not good enough aren’t the only ones. There are other gentler voices within us that we can learn to tap into. That realisation alone makes this book worth reading.

Five very large stars.

This is a really helpful book for anyone that has dealt with imposter syndrome. I appreciate the detailed exercises in the book that anyone can do. The case studies were also neat to read because you can think about other people’s imposter syndrome experiences; their experiences can be different than yours.

I received a copy from Netgalley.
