Stop People Pleasing: Be Assertive, Stop Caring What Others Think, Beat Your Guilt, & Stop Being a Pushover (Be Confident and Fearless Book 1) Kindle Edition

As a social clutz, one who they said was a friggin idiot among other not so nice words, this guy's books really helped me, to put it modestly. Like he says we all know these principles of social conduct but we don't actually apply them consciously to any great degree. We just need to have them pointed out to us.I amaze myself most everyday with my improved social abilities. People actually approach me wanting to talk. I guess the look of hostility and whatever has vanished from my face. thx to these books.

The book was a good start to figuring out some things about my people pleasing habits and good tool to use. The book had some grammar issues like double typed words that tripped me up reading.

This was a really good and inspiring book. Sometimes some of the advice in here makes you say “well, I could’ve thought of that” but then you have to remember that if you had thought of that you wouldn’t be reading this book 😉 . And even if you didn’t think of that, hearing these ideas, explained with such confidence really allows them to sink in better. Some of the stories and points can be condensed a bit as well. I found myself skimming at times after getting the main ideas. But I think Patrick storytelling style will appeal to many nonetheless. Overall recommend this for anybody who has trouble saying no, and disappointing the people in their lives.

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.

I really like the book because it made me aware of the reason why I people please a lot of insecurities Self awareness is the best part; Which I was never really aware of it. I also like the fact that gave you different options on how to say no If you can't say no straight in direct which is great. It's a wonderful book.

I enjoyed this book. A lot of good perspective. In general though, I am getting to the point where just saying straight up no would work best. Say no and watch 'em squirm! Lol.

I have nothing bad to say about this book. It was well organized, practical and insightful! Some tips and tricks were things I've already been starting to put into practice but that is because I've been working on healing from people pleasing for over a year now. Setting boundaries when I'm used to people pleasing though is still hard and the growth is slower than I'd like so I appreciated this book because it reinforced some of my habits and goals as well as gave me other things to think about and try! Over all it is very straightforward not a lot of filler and fluff, and a very easy read! Go get yourself a copy, you won't regret it!

I think it's often underestimated how much you sacrifice of yourself as a people pleaser it is something that seeps into all relationships. For me it was when a long time girlfriend said she thought I lacked a form of self identity.This book helped me understand where all of that is coming from and gave me the tools to start to dismantle and recognize all the bad habits, and sometimes people, involved, and for that I will be ever thankful.Stop People Pleasing is a book that offers a range of methods and ways to help people pleaser confront the strange and weird demons that sometimes work around inside them.
