Description :
Are you a people pleaser? Communication and relationship expert offers practical advice to help you appreciate your desire to help others while also freeing yourself from the prison of finding your worth in what people think of you.
We all want other people to like us and think well of us. But when we depend on the praise, admiration, or appreciation of others for our sense of self-worth, we become trapped in an exhausting and debilitating cycle of people-pleasing relationships where we always give and rarely receive. The most common advice we hear--Start putting your own needs first!-- doesnt work, because we do love helping other people!
Thankfully, the solution to the people pleasers problem isnt to fundamentally change who you are--its to fundamentally change where you find your worth. In this freeing book, Dr. Mike Bechtle shows you stop letting your fears of rejection, criticism, invisibility, or inadequacy drive your actions and start rebuilding your sense of self-worth from the inside out. When you do, youll discover that what you once thought of as a struggle is actually a strength.
