À propos de cet audio

Includes a mindfulness meditation led by the author!

From psychotherapist Meg Josephson, a groundbreaking “cure for chronic people-pleasing” (Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author) that explores the common survival instinct called fawning and offers “explanations, comfort, and best of all, solutions” (Christie Tate, New York Times bestselling author).

Are you constantly worried about what people think of you—if they like you, if they’re mad at you? Do you overextend yourself, avoid conflict, or find yourself over-apologizing, only to feel resentful afterward?

In her “instant self-help classic” (Ada Calhoun, New York Times bestselling author), Josephson explores fawning, an instinct learned in childhood to stay safe by becoming more appealing, agreeable, and helpful to perceived threats. Over time, this instinct disconnects us from who we are, what we want, and what we prefer.

With “lucid prose and smart mix of clinical expertise, personal disclosure, and pertinent case studies” (Publishers Weekly), Are You Mad at Me? shows you how to:

- Identify all the roles you might play—from peacekeeper to performer to caretaker to lone wolf to perfectionist to chameleon—that keep you far from yourself.
- Stop fearing your thoughts and emotions, even if they’re unpleasant.
- Rethink conflict and boundaries as an opening for deeper connection.
- Practice “leaning back” in relationships.
- Recognize when people-pleasing is actually necessary (with your chaotic boss) and when it’s not (with your close friends) and stop self-loathing when you slip into old patterns.
- Shift away from the familiar chaos, anxiety, and resentment you’re used to as you move closer to yourself and a life that no longer depletes you—but brings you joy.

Josephson offers a path out of people-pleasing—transforming your relationships so you can stop focusing on what others think and start honoring your own needs. No more wondering: Are you mad at me?

This was the guidance that I didn’t know I needed the most . It felt more like an inner conversation with my healed version.

Soo relatable I loved it !

This book was exactly what I needed to listen to. I've never heard of the terminology "Fawning" - but now, it makes so much sense, based on the behaviors I struggle with today as an adult (boundaries, overthinking, perfectionism). the author speaks in such a soothing tone and provides such helpful and tactful strategies. I highly recommend for anyone who was the peacemaker in their family as a child, or, who as an adult, struggles with boundaries, perfectionism, being indecisive, etc. You're not weird. There's nothing wrong with you. It was your bodies amazing way of protecting you, and now, there's an opportunity to heal. Thank you so much to the author for writing this book!

I've never felt more seen!

Seems like it was speaking directly to me. I am going to read it again for sure.

Excellent

I was thrilled after reading the first chapter, thinking this book had something new to offer. However, it quickly became yet another book saying the same thing, just under a new title. If you’ve read a self-help book in the past five years , you don’t need this one. I recommend giving it a pass.

Nothing new
