Publisher's Summary

Break your crippling addiction to approval and learn to be less “nice”. 

Do you keep your mouth shut for fear of falling out of people’s graces? Feel that you need to please and serve to stay in your social circles? You have the need to please and all the associated beliefs. Stop bitterness, resentment, and anxiety from always saying yes. 

Stop People Pleasing is a frank look at people-pleasing tendencies - where they come from, how they manifest, and exactly what to do about them. Most importantly, the audiobook emphasizes real, actionable tactics to change your relationship with yourself and others. 

This audiobook was made by a recovering people-pleaser, so you can be sure there is a real understanding of your struggles. Reprogram your beliefs and learn to accept yourself. 

Patrick King is an internationally best-selling author and social-skills coach. His writing draws of a variety of sources, from scientific research, academic experience, coaching, and real-life experience. 

Find your voice, stand up for yourself, and put yourself first. 

  • The psychological and often traumatic origins of people-pleasing tendencies. 
  • The harmful beliefs you subconsciously possess and how to alter them. 
  • How to learn new, empowering habits. 

Learn the deep origins of your need to please and how to set healthy boundaries. 

  • How to set boundaries and avoid porous ones. 
  • A plethora of strategies to say no and make your thoughts known. 
  • Understand your guilt and get better with confrontation. 
  • How to say no and stop feeling responsible for people’s feelings. 

People-pleasing is called a disease for a reason. It can cripple you and hold you back from what you want - and yet it’s all in your mind! You have the power to completely turn your life around and finally get what you want, defend yourself, and stop being so concerned with what other people think. 

Above all else, learn to free yourself. Reclaim your energy, time, and life by clicking the "Buy Now" button at the top right of this page.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I saw myself

I do so much with little to no return. Now I understand why. I had to listen twice and will again. It opened my eyes to real and false friends. I’m going to explore this topic more

Great book for a quick read

Got this book as a daily deal, and didn’t have to high expectations, but it is really good at condensing the information of a lot of other books on this subject. I recommend!

lots of repetition

Honestly, this book could have been writen in 100 pages, like there is a lot of repetition thoughout the entire book or his ideas could have been more developed with maybe some stats or studies and not just example he would use though the book

Just what I needed

This book doesn’t beat around the bush, and it has changed my life. Straight to the point, concise and clear - there’s no fluff or repetition. I felt like the author respected my time unlike so many other self help books that are padded for length. At just under four hours you can breeze through this in one day and start your new journey as a self-assured, confident non-people pleasing person. If you wonder why you are working so hard, always giving but never getting ahead, this is your book.

Très éducatif

Je me suis tanné d'aider autant les gens. Vu que je ne recevait que des bêtises en retour.

Aujourd'hui je leurs trouve des solutions. Mais moi je m'en libère.

C'est mieux pour ma santé.

J'ai beaucoup trop toléré et accumulé.

Maintenant ça prend beaucoup de temps pour guérir. Mais ce n'est pas impossible.

C'est un livre très éducatif qui peut changer la vie des gens trop bons comme moi.

the people pleaser. I would recommend
