Editorial Review For Is This Seat For Me?

Is This Seat For Me? shares stories from people dealing with imposter syndrome. Sheila Buswell, the main author, combines personal anecdotes with contributions from others who felt doubt despite clear successes. The book explores insecurities people face in daily life and business.

Buswell knows her stuff. She’s frank about her strengths and weaknesses. One standout aspect is her honest reflection on gender stereotypes. While society expects women to thrive in traditionally female roles, like childcare, Buswell would rather discuss programming and materials science. She smartly highlights the double standards women face, especially in STEM fields, and calls out workplaces stuck in the past.

Given the current trend toward openness about mental health, the book lands at a relevant time. Many readers might relate to Buswell’s frustrations about being underestimated. This will appeal most to women in male-dominated fields, veterans adjusting to civilian careers, or anyone fighting doubts in professional spaces.

Buswell offers practical solutions, but she also isn't shy about her annoyance with unfair treatment. If you're looking for a warm hug and reassurance, this might not be the best fit. But if blunt honesty about struggles—and occasional snark—helps you, you’ll feel at home here.

If you've ever felt out of place or misunderstood in your role, you’ll probably nod along while reading Is This Seat For Me? It’s straightforward, relatable, and worth picking up.
