The People Pleaser's Guide to Loving Others Without Losing Yourself

By Mike Bechtle

Book Overview

Turn your biggest struggle into your greatest strength


You'll learn to
- say no instead of automatically saying yes
- handle conflict without intimidation
- strengthen relationships by being the real you
- stop looking to others' opinions of you to define your self-worth

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 -- doesn't work, because we do love helping other people Thankfully, the solution to the people pleaser's "problem" isn't to fundamentally change who you are--it's to fundamentally change where you find your worth.

In this freeing book, Dr. Mike Bechtle shows you how to 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, you'll discover that what you once thought of as a struggle is actually a strength.
