Instant New York Times Bestseller.
From psychotherapist and social media favorite Meg Josephson, this groundbreaking book explores the survival response known as fawning—the instinct to people-please at the expense of your own needs—and offers a compassionate path toward healing. Hailed as a “cure for chronic people-pleasing” by Adam Grant, this insightful guide blends psychology, validation, and practical tools to help readers stop overextending, quiet anxiety, and set healthier boundaries. With warmth and clarity, Josephson helps you understand why you people-please, how it developed, and—most importantly—how to gently unlearn it. A must-read for perfectionists, overachievers, eldest daughters, conflict-avoiders, and anyone ready to put themselves back on the list. 💙
