Summary
Read by the author.

Are you a people pleaser? Can you even begin to measure how the approval of others has shaped your heart and mind? Your faith and relationships? Your habits and identity? In People Pleaser, New York Times bestselling author Jinger Vuolo shares her personal journey of constantly seeking approval from others and how she found her true identity.

From childhood to early adulthood, Jinger Duggar Vuolo followed the expectations of others, never taking the time to discover who she truly was. It wasn't until she asked herself the question, 'Who am I?' that she realized she was a people pleaser. This realization led her on a journey of self-discovery and ultimately, to rely on God for her approval and sense of self-worth.

Through her faith and reliance on God, Jinger began to break free from the need for approval and discover true freedom. This book is a guide for anyone struggling with people-pleasing tendencies and seeking to find their true identity and purpose in life. Learn how to:

- discover the beauty of community and how we were made to enjoy others,
- identify sin and how it can hinder your ability to be in community with one another,
- diagnose yourself with ruthless honesty but without judgement, and
- understand who you are in God's eyes.

 

Jinger hopes this book will inspire others to embark on a similar journey towards freedom.

I'm not a people pleaser but there are Loved ones around me that are and it's helped me to understand their thinking I do enjoy the the scriptures quoted. I'm interested cuz developing a fear of displeasing God by not showing loving kindness to ones around me and understanding what turmoil they go through

I am definitely a people pleaser. It bugs me and yet I don't know how not to be. This book was helpful. It had a lot of reflection questions for journalling which I didn't do since I was listening to the audiobook. I may get this book in paper format so I can spend more time doing the work. Each chapter has real life stories, an overarching lesson, scripture, and reflection. I appreciate that this author freely shares how growing up in the Gothard cult (very law-based and shame-filled) shaped her people pleasing and how people can break free and find freedom. I follow the original GoodReads rating system (3=good, 5=phenomenal + life-changing) not the Amazon one (only 5 is acceptable.)

Very insightful book. If you’re not a Christian or familiar with the Bible this may not be your read. However the author has a very intuitive grasp of healing and self awareness. Anyone can benefit from reading/listening to it. I am Catholic and loved this book.
