Chameleon

Hey, could you do me a favour?  Actually, I have a bone to pick with you!  We need to talk. 

Go on, tell the truth. Did any of those phrases just make your stomach drop a little?  Perhaps you, too, struggle with the disease to please.

Symptoms may include: being petrified of not being liked, of being a burden, of doing anything that might hurt somebody's feelings, and of the slightest confrontation. 

Former people-pleaser, and author of the bestselling sobriety memoir, A Happier Hour, Rebecca Weller knows your angst. The ultimate chameleon, she perfectly morphed herself to fit in with any crowd. Her people-pleasing patterns were so deeply ingrained in her subconscious that she had no idea they was still running the show (and her life) as an adult. They were evident in every corner of her overstuffed calendar, in her unrelenting anxiety that someone - anyone! - might be mad at her, and in her complete inability to get through tough conversations without having a heart attack.

She was less interested in exploring who she was, and more interested in figuring out what others wanted her to be. 

Until all of that changed.

Through giant stumbles and deep epiphanies, Rebecca learnt to take her power back. In this book, she explores the many awkward, humiliating - and ultimately liberating - lessons along the way, and how each of us can begin to embrace a deep and unshakeable confidence.

Chameleon: Confessions of a Former People-Pleaser is a book about the danger of giving our power away to others, and the magic of finding our way back to ourselves.
