This helped me reflect on a lot of things I needed to examine in myself. It was a bit heavy on the self-help vibe than I usually like but honestly I found it so helpful that I'm really glad I read it.

Really loved it! A great start for…well, how to stop people pleasing. I especially loved all the examples and the exercises. There were things in here I’d never thought about before, like how people pleasing can manifest as trying to control others’ actions. Really interesting.

so far one of the most insightful and most inspiring reads i've read this year. it resonated so much to me because i too am a chronic people pleaser myself. but i think the best thing that this book teaches is its nuanced understanding of the process, how some people might make it harder for others and how the process is not a linear path and that its not so black and white when you face it the same situations in the real world. i also like its inclusion of various characters in its annecdotes from different backgrounds, it makes it more palatable to other people as well. 

i think the only downside of this book is that like most self-help books ive read it really likes to overstate its point sometimes. but the thing that this book does better is how it features more illustrations rather than being preachy
