Who are people pleasers? They are the people who say yes, when they want to say no-the perennial nice person whose resentment is concealed behind their public “happy face.” Now best-selling author and frequent Oprah guest Dr. Harriet Braiker offers help for anyone who has ever felt the resentment of giving 100% of themselves to others and getting nothing in return. The Disease to Please explodes the dangerous myth that “people pleasing” is a benign problem. It is the first book to treat people pleasing as a serious psychological syndrome and it breaks new ground in its approach to offer a cure. Dr. Braiker offers a 21-Day Action Plan for curing the Disease to Please. A daily psychological workout and skills-training program, it will help readers replace the compulsion to comply with a more conscious and reasoned choice to care. The Disease to Please includes: * Extensive case studies * Diary and journal formats to help recovery * An effective three-stage short-term therapy approach
