Find Your Path through Imposter Syndrome is a guide to working past imposter syndrome. From practices to change your mindset to typical patterns to determine if you are going through imposter syndrome, this covers how to find the issue and practices to resolve it. It's thorough and provides case studies with relevant examples.
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.
I think it's highly likely that the majority of people have felt like an imposter at least once and I really appreciated all of the exercises in this book. This book is great because it not only gives you information to learn but also ways to be interactive and gain personal insights for your life and the world around you. Thank you Jess Henley for writing 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.
Out of the three books in the series this is my favorite. The writing and examples are relatable. There are a lot of good exercises to try when imposter syndrome hits. It gives different ways to not only help yourself but how to help others experiencing it, too. Overall, a helpful read.
Truthfully, I was a little bit thrown off by the first top tip being about meditation. I am not the type of person who can meditate or do breathing exercises and actually enjoy it, no matter how many times I try. However, I am glad I pressed onward and continued reading. Henley addressed all of the major issues that I and many others experience when it comes to imposter syndrome. I found the info to be useful and well-presented.
Well-intentioned and includes some helpful tips, however fell short, and I did not find much specialised information (there were a couple, I admit) about tackling impostor syndrome. Also, the fact that I will never believe in EFT was a contributor - this fell short for me.
For the right target audiences, this will be a well-written book.
Do you sometimes feel like you’ve fluked your way through life?
That all your achievements are due to luck and not your own merit?
Are there times when you can't stop your mind racing, imagining that, somehow, you’re going to be ‘found out’?
When you’re asked to perform, do you notice your heart beginning to pound, your breathing getting shallower, or perhaps an uncomfortable creeping sensation all over your body?

This book is a lifesaver. I will recommend to everyone. I will recommend this to my therapist so she can recommend to her patients/clients. Thank you.
This little guide to imposter syndrome was helpful, with case studies, workshop points and guidance. It could have expanded in places, but was a good short introduction to imposter syndrome.
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.
