Customer Reviews
It’s a Must!
Thank you, I need this. I appreciate your scenario examples, and how to look at them, and how to look at yourself, and how a healthy self can approach ones own personal scenarios. This book does give you examples, does give you guidelines and helpful tips on how to recognize and relieve yourself of people pleasing. It’s a personal chronic problem. That has likely been a headliner to most of my years of heartache and loneliness.
I’ve been diagnosed as treatment resistant. And this in a few hours has helped. I’ll continue to fight for myself so I can not only offer others the best of me. But offer the best of me to myself.
Thank you so much for the energy it took to bring this to the world.
Do not recommend very misogynistic
Only gave this one star because you have to give a star to give a review. This book was horrible, though it was very one-sided and respect that it was only based on a man’s view extremely dated and just common sense dialogue. The biggest thing that stood out was the writers focus on hooking up with the right girl by using the advice he gave in this book.
Best book ever
This book described my whole life. In fact, it describes all my siblings, I wondered if my parents had royalties. That was a bad joke, and honestly I have been living up to twisted expectations, rules set incorrectly. I got the audio version and plan to get the hardcover book to do the exercises and highlight the stronger areas that stand out for me and to share with my loved ones. Aziz communicates clearly, and is on point with nice behaviors viewed as passive and guides you to become assertive, bold, get your needs met and still be kind and loving.
