Customer Reviews

Loved It !

Almost all women and many men have the Please Disease. We socialize our girls to go along to get along, be peacemakers. Alcoholic and Dysfunctional families usually produce this mentality. This book helps point out how important it is to have opinions and to be heard. Great info!

Quite helpful if you are like me

Feeling disempowered in relationships? You are not alone. This book has given me some of the tools and techniques to help me see where I can improve my life and how to do it. I was surprised at how acurately the author presents her case.

Insightful Reading

Say hello to yourself and other pleasers you know through this book filled with insights. Pleasing others is not necessarily a bad thing unless the price is sacrifice of self. Learn how to avoid the pitfalls of too much pleasing, how that phenomena is shaped by past experiences, and how to form relationships that are more satisfying. The author is adept at presenting personal experiences and the experiences of those with whom she has worked to illustrate the down side of pleasing and how changing behavior can result in a more fulfilling life. I highly recommend this book as a mechanism for developing insight and making necessary changes. Dr. Dianne Garner

MUST READ!

With this wonderful book, it will help you learn how to move forward, despite the fear you have or have been living. One thing that I have learned is that if you were NOT moving out of your old (perhaps unhappy) comfort zone, you would not be feeling fear,and facing the fear you have been living! I love this book. It is empowering, easy to read, apply and understand, and will make a wonderful difference in your life.It will help you take positive steps that move your life in the most positive direction possible.
