I did not have time to read it earlier, but downloaded and read. Not really my style, but others may enjoy it. Thanks for giving my the opportunity. When I first signed up I really did not know how this worked. Now I only request what I have time to read.

A powerful story of learning how to show up and use your talents in the world, no matter what your mind is telling you.
Mike Kitko's story is one that so many people can relate to: he was aiming for the "perfect life" of salary increases, a great house and car, yet was neglecting his inner job. Everything he did made him feel like he was going to be "found out" soon enough.
He calls his breakthrough out of this cycle his "rebuild" and it's the perfect way to describe his journey in this book.

If you're looking for a moving story about someone who has had to take a hard look at himself, drop his defenses, and actually do the work to get his life to where he wants it, this is the book for you.

I thought the premise was really interesting... this is a topic most people can relate to. It was certainly well-written, though I didn’t feel the story was unique.

I got a review digital copy of this book from NetGalley. When i was reading this book, I found myself thinking, this is me and my story - of thinking of myself as an imposter or not understanding why people value what i bought to the table (as I thought it was obvious, but not really that obvious to others).

My journey to move from being that imposter to being more authentic and taking myself and my skills seriously started a few years back.

In this book, the author shares his journey and many of his coaching clients' journey in moving from thinking of ourselves as an imposter to considering ourselves a "MISFIT".

Most of his stories are relatable. The book is easy to read and quick to read. But in some places, I thought that he could have gone a bit deeper but only scratches the surface.

All said, i think this is a decent book to read if you feel like an imposter who doesnt deserve the success you have gotten so far.
