Stand Up for Yourself, Set Boundaries, & Stop Pleasing Others (If That’s Okay with You…)

Be Confident and Fearless, Book 9

De: Patrick King

Narrado por: Russell Newton

Expressing what you want isn’t selfish, it’s prioritizing yourself. Do you have that habit?

You don’t have to be “nice” to everyone if it means being mean to yourself. Learn to prioritize yourself, and finally do only what you want to do.

The need to please is powerful, but it causes anxiety, stress, and resentment. Time to change your patterns.

Stand Up for Yourself is direct and no-nonsense. That’s because the way you prioritize others and let them stomp all over your boundaries isn’t working, so you need a change. This book teaches you how to reverse these mini-decisions, and internalize the belief that you are worth it, you are valuable, and you deserve it. Because you are, and you do.

Understand the psychology of people pleasing and how to stop it with actionable techniques.

Patrick King is an internationally best-selling author and social skills coach. His writing draws of a variety of sources, from scientific research, academic experience, coaching, and real-life experience.

Reprogram your beliefs, and learn how to set boundaries that others can’t ignore.

• Understand the psychology of letting others walk all over you, and why it makes perfect logical sense
• How to break the fear of being yourself by being more generous and accepting
• Knowing your self-narratives and changing them with swift action
• The real psychology behind conflict and why it can appear so scary
• A multitude of actionable and realistic ways to say no to anyone
• How to chart the progress of your journey to loving yourself more fully
• Ditch being a doormat and become assertive

Find your voice, stand up for yourself, and put yourself first. It’s your life, so live it for yourself!

One of the best books

Excellent and profound! Highly recommend!! The reading voice is soothing and explains perfectly the subject.

Needed this for sure

I loved it so much in Audible that I bought the hard cover so I can go through and highlight and reread areas that I still need to work on

Good quick read checking all the boxes

A great book for a quick reminder of self-worth. Checks all the boxes for journaling, meditation, and self affirmations.

Wow

I really needed to hear this. Sometimes the narrator was a little too monotone so my mind would wander. But the overall experience of this book was great. It was exactly what I needed.

A better title would be: BE Selfish or I am #1

I was curious about this book because I honestly believe that there are no such people. So, I listened to this book up to chapter 14. In today's world, as it is, NO ONE pleases people. Maybe, someone who wants to "climb the ladder" or has an ulterior motive. The basic gist that I perceive from the chapters, overall, is to become selfish, be #1, 2 & 3 in your life, and just go about your business favoring yourself ONLY. In reality, no one is going to continuously and forever really and authentically care for you. Everyone is out for themselves and we use each other in one form or another. This is the reality of life. So, people pleasers are next to nothing in this world today.

Lecturing, minimal tools

I enjoy Patrick King's approach to most self help books, and I do like this one I'm more than half way through though and I already am aware of many of these common sense rules of living and simple people skills, but sadly there aren't many tools offered and also after purchasing several of Patrick's books it's frustrating that they do NOT include a PDF Version. As a Teacher and Spiritual Advisor I'd appreciate the visual, and also the option to have some notes. You're great Patrick how's about a PDF File and perhaps you could work on some sort of study guide/ workbook. Many people need recovery in these areas and more applicable ways to ivercome many of the issues and topics you discuss.
