The Imposter is a transformation memoir. Kip Kreiling was arrested 3 times before the age of 10 and 11 times before he was 14. For 15 years, he moved 34 times in and out of jails, group homes, and street shelters. In The Imposter, Kip Kreiling shares his transformation from a drug addicted juvenile criminal to a Fortune 15 executive. He has also founded the nonprofit foundation Transformationhelp.org that focuses on improving personal and organizational transformation, with a focus on teaching transformation classes in prisons.
When I first picked up this book, I was really unsure of what to expect. But what I found was an inability to put it down. I was mesmerized by Kip’s honesty and openness about his life as a juvenile criminal. It intrigued me. I think the way the book is written is also what makes it so compelling. He starts the book off with where he is today….at the Minneapolis Club and he is questioning whether or not people think he really belongs there. He tells stories of his past and then relates each story to a transformation principle. There are a total of 8 principles of transformation in this book. This book gave me hope and the ability to know that I can change in personal growth and in business. I truly believe now that by making the change an imperative one, you can change.
I know so many people who could truly benefit from this book. I can honestly say that this book has affected me. I really want people to read this. I want people to understand how this book can help. I want people to believe in the power of change and transformation. If you know anyone who is clearly not reaching their full potential or who is being held back by barriers they have created in their own mind, give them this book. You can also read all the 5-star Amazon reviews this book has received on his website.

I am the part-time librarian, part-time teacher in an inner city school. My students come from high-poverty, crime-ridden neighborhoods and somehow they have the tenacity to learn and improve themselves with the hope of having a better life. I think this book would benefit my students and I would like for them to have access to it in our small library.
i’d like to win because it sounds like a really inspirational story
