Expressing your desires is not selfishness. It is choosing yourself as a priority. Do you act like this? You shouldn't be nice to everyone if it comes at the expense of being harsh on yourself. Learn to put your interests first and ultimately do only what you want. The need to please is a very powerful impulse; however, it comes with anxiety, stress, and feelings of resentment. It is time to change your habits.
"How to Stand Up for Yourself" is a practical guide, concrete and without any unnecessary fluff. The fact is that a strategy where you prioritize others and allow anyone to violate your boundaries does not work, not at all. Therefore, changes are needed. This book will teach you how to turn mini-decisions to your advantage and solidify the belief that you deserve the best, possess worth as a person, and fully deserve it. Because that's how it is. You will understand the psychology of people-pleasing and learn how to overcome this tendency with effective techniques.
Patrick King is a bestselling author and a coach in social interaction skills. His works are based on a wide variety of sources, results of scientific research, academic experience, coaching practice, and knowledge of real life.

- how to reprogram your beliefs and learn to set boundaries that no one can ignore;
- why you allow others to step on your head and why this seems like psychologically logical behavior;
- how to overcome the fear of being yourself by showing more generosity and acceptance;
