Are You Mad at Me? by Meg Josephson
Meg Josephson writes a game-changing book for people pleasers that is easy to digest and with thinking action items that are game changers. Meg talks about the fawn response that is pervasive in many adults today and simplifies the evolution towards a content adult hold by explaining to the people pleasers that they are brilliant for creating this safety mechanism because it allowed the child to succeed in unstable emotional environments. Dr. Josephson explains that as adults, we just need to evolve into thinking differently. Beautiful book that is well designed, this will be a game-changer for so many people.
