Books about Pleaser from Amazon.com

Many women try too hard to be nice. It's not a gimmick or a cute label. It's a way of life for many who live in a culture that subtly trains them to be the ones who "keep everyone happy." But what happens when keeping everyone else happy drains your own happiness? In this newly repackaged edition of an insightful book by best-selling author Kevin Leman, women will learn how to recognize what kind of pleaser they are, give themselves positive messages, choose a man who is right for them, and much more. Packed with wise counsel and illustrative case studies, Pleasers shows how women who find themselves manipulated by impassivity, guilt, or abusive behavior can learn to assert themselves while maintaining their pleasing personalities..
