So many people feel like if they are not people pleaser then they are just unkind person. That is not true at all. Learning how to draw your boundaries and keep a healthy relationship with your friends, other professionals or your family. Chapter 4 was great as it talks about the art of cultivating healthy boundaries with friends and family. Many people struggle to speak up for their needs as they worry about what others will think and say. The author provides the listeners with practical strategies to help navigate while learning how to speak up and foster genuine connections.

The book also reviews how to dismantle habits of relying on others' opinions as it takes away from having your identity. The book can help guide you toward a place of fearlessness and autonomy.

If you are someone who seems to be a people pleaser, doesn't know how to say no, and doesn't know how to speak up for your own needs, then this book is a great tool to have to start to learn new techniques to get what you need to get the relationships you want.

A very nice resource for becoming more assertive

This audiobook shows clear steps to become more confident and communicate better. My favorite chapters were the one about being assertive instead of a people pleaser and how to manage the fear of rejection. The author mentions tips to be more assertive, direct, and confident and she emphasizes that is important to practice every day being assertive and set boundaries to be prepared in advance for how to react in certain situations. This book is a very nice resource for building up better communication skills to interact with others in a healthier way.

Loved it

This book is transformative and the author teaches how to set clear boundaries. This helps keep self sacrificing and people pleasing to a minimum. There have been many times I have caught myself trying to help people when I know it would hurt me if I do give what they are asking. I appreciate this book, because it reminds us the importance to take care of ourselves. I recommend this book to anyone needing help not being agreeable or setting boundaries. The audiobook’s narration has wonderful flow to it as well and will keep you listening from start to finish.
