Product Description
The New York Times Bestseller—with over 100,000 copies sold
Now with a bold new look, this classic bestseller is back with its unique 21-day action plan for curing the addiction many people suffer from—the need for approval and fear of confrontation.
The Disease to Please helps you break away from these fears and helps place more of an emphasis on pleasing yourself first—clearing the path for good health and true happiness.
Recovering people-pleasers take a simple but revealing quiz to see how far their “illness” goes and then learn how to change feelings, thoughts, and behavior that leads to dramatic and positive changes in their lives. The Disease to Please even provides case studies and journal to help you resist the compulsion to comply and develop your choice to care.
From the Back Cover
What's wrong with being a "people pleaser?" Plenty!
"A fascinating book... If you struggle with where, when, and how to draw the line between your own desires and the demands of others, buy this book!"Kay Redfield Jamison, bestselling author of An Unquiet Mind and Night Falls Fast
People pleasers are not just nice people who go overboard trying to make everyone happy. Those who suffer from the Disease to Please are people who say "Yes" when they really want to say "No." For them, the uncontrollable need for the elusive approval of others is an addiction. Their debilitating fears of anger and confrontation force them to use "niceness" and "people-pleasing" as self-defense camouflage.
Featured on NBC's "Today," The Disease to Please explodes the dangerous myth that "people pleasing" is a benign problem. Best-selling author and frequent "Oprah" guest Dr. Harriet Braiker offers clear, positive, practical, and easily do-able steps toward recovery.
Begin with a simple but revealing quiz to discover what type of people-pleaser you are. Then learn how making even small changes to any single portion of the Disease to Please Triangle - involving your thoughts, feelings, and behavior - will cause a dramatic, positive and long-lasting change to the overall syndrome.
As a recovered peoplepleaser, you will finally see that a balanced way of living that takes others into consideration but puts the emphasis first on pleasing yourself and gaining your own approval is the clearest path to health and happiness.
If you are like most people-pleasers, you probably already know the answer to this question. Read the first page
