Hailey comes into Stop Pleasing with a direct and consice approach. Giving lots of examples on how to set boundaries and feel like your being heard.

This is one I'll return to again and again. Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advanced copy of the book.

Thank you to NetGalley and Simon and Schuster publishing for the advanced ARC of this. I am not a typical "self" help reader.
However, when I saw the title of this book it spoke to me. A notorious self proclaimed people pleaser, I felt like I could use some tips to change this about myself.

I was blown away how much I felt like the author was speaking directly to me. As she shares and reflects on her own experiences, it was so relatable. This book was great for self reflection and setting boundaries.
I realized so much about "people pleasing" is being unsure about myself. I know I have a lot of work to do and will have to practice some of these things repeatedly, but I really think this book provides wonderful tools and insight.

The author never lectures, which typically makes me hate self help books. There is no self-righteousness here, you can tell the author has done a lot of reflection, work, and research into helping others who live to please others.

Highly recommend.

This book was a game-changer for me. It felt like Hailey Magee was speaking right to my soul, addressing the people-pleasing tendencies that have been holding me back for so long. Her personal journey adds a relatable touch, making the advice feel genuine and actionable. What I loved most is how she doesn't just tell you to set boundaries and speak up; she guides you through reconnecting with yourself first, which is where real change starts. The mix of practical exercises and insightful questions helped me uncover layers I didn't even know were there. If you're tired of saying yes when you really want to say no, this book is a must-read.

I have to admit, at first, I was skeptical. Another self-help book claiming to have all the answers? But Stop People Pleasing surprised me. It's not just about saying no or setting boundaries; it's about understanding why we feel the need to please others in the first place. Magee dives deep into the psychology behind it all, offering empathy and understanding every step of the way. Her approach is refreshingly nuanced, acknowledging that it's not always easy to break free from these patterns. By the end, I felt empowered and ready to start advocating for myself in a way I never thought possible. Highly recommend for anyone ready to reclaim their power and live life on their own terms.
