Customer Reviews

A good book
My wife says it is a good book. I like the author and watch him on his tv show, so I figured I'd order it for her and then read it afterwards. So far she says its great.

A Professional Counselor's Opinion
This book was originally titled THE PLEASERS. As a licensed mental health counselor, I have recommended this book to many of my clients. Dr. Leman helps any woman break free from the demeaning and self-debilitating habit of trying to please everyone but herself. Women have long been taught by society that they take a back-seat to everyone else and been discouraged from being their own person. This book was an instrument of healing in my own life many years ago and it still stands up as a leader among books on this subject. By-the-way, the principles can work for men caught in the "pleaser" trap, too. I hope it never goes out of print! I am using a pen name only due to personal reasons related to safety.

Women Who Try Too Hard
A life-changing book - I would recommend it for anyone who feels they try too hard to please and do not receive the positive feedback they feel they deserve. I bought it for my daughter and she loaned it to a friend and they both agreed with my assessment. I felt like Kevin Leman was writing about me.
