A Relief for the Soul!

I liked how this audiobook highlights various aspects of our lives that are affected by Imposter Syndrome. Thinking I'm the only one and realizing that this syndrome is quite common, it's a relief in a sense. Despite being aware that I deserve what I have and I'm good enough, there was always a voice that was saying the contrary, and that voice almost always won. This book equips you with the tools necessary to shatter that inner voice. The exercises are starting to help as I'm putting to the test all the negative beliefs and replacing them with positive ones. Highly recommend it.

This was so helpful for me- a lifelong imposter

My entire career as a consultant and as an educator, has been filled with instances in which I feel like I am just "faking it" and that others will find out I am not the amazing person that I strive to be in spite of accomplishments and praise (that I secretly crave). No wonder I felt so understood when listening to this audio book, and I am very grateful to the colleague who shared this with me. One of the things I liked best is the straight-forward statement that it's important to go beyond quick fixes, to really understand the psychology behind my past, and to lean into tangible changes I can make. For example, to work on developing a growth mindset, to engage in goal setting and milestones so that I can see evidence of the progress I am making. Plus so many other great strategies I can put to good use. I am looking forward to listening to this audiobook a second time and taking notes!

Finally Felt Seen and Heard

I’ve dealt with imposter feelings for years—at work, in relationships, even just being myself. This book felt like someone was finally putting words to what I’ve been experiencing. The way it breaks things down helped me realize I’m not alone or broken. I liked how straightforward the tone was, and I actually tried some of the exercises. They've helped me quiet that constant voice of self-doubt. I’m not “fixed,” but I’m way more confident moving forward.

Goodbye, nagging self doubt

I've privately battled with feeling like I'm not quite good enough, no matter what I accomplish. This audiobook was a revelation! It felt like the author genuinely understood exactly what I've been going through. The practical tools and strategies shared have already started to quiet that inner critic, and I'm feeling a real shift towards embracing my own abilities.

Feels like a deep breath of relief

Listening to this audiobook felt like sitting down with someone who truly gets it. It doesn’t sugarcoat the messy feelings of self-doubt, overthinking, and the fear of being “found out.” Instead, it breaks them down in a way that finally makes sense and gives you permission to stop beating yourself up.
The exercises are great — simple mindset shifts and daily habits that felt doable even on my most anxious days. The narrator’s voice was warm and encouraging, which made it easier to believe that change was possible.
By the end, I felt lighter, like I’d put down a weight I’d been carrying forever. It’s not about becoming perfect or fearless; it’s about realizing you’re enough, exactly as you are. It's a reminder that you already have what it takes.

Break Free From Imposter Thoughts

I genuinely loved this audiobook because it spoke directly to the insecurities I struggle with daily. It explained negative thought patterns in a way that was relatable, not clinical, which made the cognitive techniques feel practical and doable. The chapter on balancing ambition with self-compassion hit home for me—I didn't feel lectured, just understood. I also really appreciated how the narrator brought warmth and authenticity to the message, making it feel supportive rather than overwhelming. Overall, listening gave me real hope that overcoming self-doubt isn't just possible—it's achievable.

Helped Me Finally Quiet My Inner Critic

I’ve struggled with feeling like I don’t belong or deserve my success for years. This book gave me practical ways to stop overthinking and push past those doubts. It doesn’t promise instant fixes but offers real tools that helped me gradually believe in myself more. I’ve found myself feeling calmer and more confident in situations that used to trigger anxiety. If you’re tired of second-guessing yourself, this guide is a solid place to start.

Learning how to not be a fake

This book helped me understand why I always feel like I’m not good enough, even when I am. It explains where that feeling comes from and how to spot it when it shows up. There’s a lot about how your thoughts work, how to calm the negative ones, and how to stop being so hard on yourself. I liked the chapters with actual tools, like breathing for stress, handling criticism, and changing habits. The parts on leadership and speaking up were surprisingly useful too. It’s not just info, it gives you things to try in real life. I felt seen the whole time.
