I've never understood why I got taken advantage of by people until listening to this book. It has opened my eyes in many ways, and the tools provided in this book will definitely stick with me for life.
If you identify as a people pleaser, please give this a go and get ready for a change :)
Highly recommended!!

I didn’t want to read it, thinking I’m already too selfish. Only did cause I’m in a non-fiction book club… 🙄

Well, turns out the book is actually about how not to be selfish.

Bacause, as I’m realising, learning proper communication and boundaries (main subject of the book) is the most loving thing we can do - for ourseves and others.

Highly recommend.

One of the best personal growth books I've ever read. Ths book clearly and logically explains boundaries and reassures that they don't make you "selfish" in the negative way we tend think of that term. It has been a game changer for me.

Brilliant!

I devoured this in a few days - I love Michelle's no nonsense explanations and practical advice. it was actually reassuring to hear that I'm better at boundary setting than I thought! It was also a real treat to hear her narrate her own writing 😊

Super practical and entertaining to boot

Does the reader not understand that consonants at the end of words are there to be pronounced? The lack of Ts and Ds decided it for me, and my first act of selfishness will be to stop listening. My lacerated ears will take no more. Content? Predicable.

I can't listen to this book
