Informative

This book is a great resource for people pleasers. I will put these recommendations to use and start making positive changes.

I liked the summaries at the end of each chapter

The narration was pleasant.
Very helpful book if one wishes to be more balanced. one word remaining....no.

Excellent Bibliotherapy! A must go-thru for people that are too nice

I like how this goes through the reasons why people become people pleasers and pushovers- it boils down to a survival mechanism to compensate for a lack of confidence, self-worth, self-perception of not-enough strength, and not an abundance mentality. It gives better ways to say “no,” and being direct rather than saying “they can’t.” I’m at the end of a deployment in Iraq, and I feel I was a people pleaser here because I didn’t have confidence in my job, and I compensated by being sweet and a ‘yes-man.’ This is ideal for me to go though now.

It also talked about being too much of the opposite of a people pleaser (it could’ve gone more in depth on this). Being the polar opposite and being too rigid is not the best thing either. A middle-ground is better.

I agree that being too much of a people pleaser is not a good thing for everyone because then you can’t fully give yourself to what is really important. I also like the stark warnings that some people won’t like when you’re sticking up for yourself (they preferred when you didn’t have boundaries). No one likes to hear “no.” This book is excellent and very important. I want my mom to go through it also .

Great Book

Wonderful insights. helpful information. It is definitely a game changer. listened to it twice.

A must read

One of the best books I have ever read. The author hit it right on the head!

Must read

This book gave me more applicable help than years of counseling did. Read this book, skip the counselor, and save all that $.

Eye opener, you definitely know if this is you !

If this is you, the book offers solid and sensible solutions to help you change.

say i don't instead of i can't

overall good advice, a little too broad. not focused on leadership, but more personal relationships

Incredibly insightful to my own Havits

Would you believe that I was going to give the performance of four-star, when I definitely felt like it was a three star? That’s right. Because I didn’t want the narrator to feel bad…

I tackled to myself and put down the honest review after three stars. My people pleasing habits are already starting to change…

Good Book

Glad that I found it on Audible. It is well written and the narrator is good.
