Stop People Pleasing

The author gave good reasons why people become people pleasers, why it is not good to do so and how to stop.
I would appreciate a Table of Contents. Now that I have read the book I’d like to go to the wonderful book summary at the back of the book for a refresher course. A Table of Contents would make this so much easier on kindle.

I love the fact that it was written short and to the point. The aurhor didnt go around saying the same things over and over. I highlighted the sections that were relevant to me. I will put it into practice by feeling the emotions while im confronting someone especially at work. I picked this book because obviously im a people pleaser and wanted to learn how to set boundaries at work. I gave it a five because it touched the points i was having issues with when it came to say no without feeling guilty or giving up on people requests. Very enlightening, fantastically written. I will re read it again. Thank you

I bought the book on a whim based on the title. There were times when I couldn’t put it down because so many passages described who I’ve been in the past. I have worked through many of the ideas in the book on my own prior to reading it, but there were some great insights contained within. I wish I had a book like this at my disposal 10 years go!

I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who currently, or has in the past found it difficult to say NO to people. If I could go back to my 20-something self and read a book like this, I would be much further ahead in life.

I used to scoff at the idea that a self-help book could actually teach you valuable skills or help you get over a huge character flaw, but this definitely did help. There are tiny steps you can take to stop yourself from being a pushover and the book definitely outlines the plan for you! Definitely worth a read

Second best book I’ve read in 2020 ( btw, first is “improve your people skill” also by Patrick King). This book offers a very deep understanding of people pleasing personality which stems from the author’s first hand experience. It is helpful to me for three reasons:
1. If discusses in depth people pleasing motivation and psychological factors. You can’t stop being a people pleaser without changing your mentality so this is very helpful to changing your mindset.
2. It gives principle on setting the boundaries and retaking your control of your own life. Again, very thoughtful on this part.
3. Very practical advices on saying no to people. This is the practical part of this book, which in itself is worth the price and effort reading this book.

I can’t say enough about the author and his books (including this one) helps me. I highly recommend this book and Patrick’s many other books.
