Chicago, IL – October 6, 2025. Author Garet Free shares his proven framework for transforming self-doubt into sustainable leadership. Released August 13, 2025, The Imposter Within: The Breakthrough Guide to Confidence, Clarity, and Living Beyond the Lies in Your Head quickly climbed to number 1 on Amazon’s Best Seller lists across multiple categories, signaling a growing hunger for fresh solutions to imposter syndrome. This book is written from lived experience and provides a tangible approach to turning the experience of feeling like an imposter into rocket fuel for the reader’s success.
For too long, self-doubt, perfectionism, and fear of being ‘found out’ have been treated as personal flaws. In reality, these feelings are often rooted in past experiences, and they can be reframed into powerful tools for growth. The Imposter Within shows readers how to shift from overwork and fear into clarity and choice. This book offers a fresh approach to gaining a deeper understanding of yourself, allowing you to make a conscious choice every time an undesirable feeling arises. Give it power, or release it.
“So many leaders hide behind the mask of perfection, or they overwork to prove themselves. Self-doubt can grind teams to a halt, but it doesn’t have to be that way. I wrote this book as the guide that I wish I had years ago when I was navigating big shifts in life and in my career, so that today’s leaders can step forward with confidence, clarity, and courage,” says author Garet Free.
“In this beautifully written and deeply personal reflection on imposter syndrome, Garet offers not just insight but a path forward. He doesn’t shout or preach, he gently nudges, encourages, and reminds us of our own strength,” says Idara Umoh, President and Founder of Echelon Health Partners.
Garet Free began his career as a paramedic in EMS and Level I Trauma Centers before transitioning into health tech and hospital-at-home leadership and consulting, where he partnered with health systems nationwide to improve care delivery and reduce costs. Today, he brings over 20 years of clinical, technology, and executive experience into his work as an Executive Transformation Coach, helping leaders move beyond self-doubt and unlock their next chapter.
The Imposter Within is available for purchase on Amazon (in hardcover, paperback, and digital formats) and Barnes & Noble (in paperback format).
