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.

A book that speaks truth in to what God what's us to see about The sanctification process of becoming who he's called us to be

This book has helped me to realize the areas I struggle in with Regarding my people pleasing it also helped me to remove any negative thoughts I have regarding people pleasing and the confidence to give it over to God and allow him to do his finished work in me

The HOW to working on people pleasing

Jinger's willingness to share her heart comes through. You can hear her honesty and openness in sharing and doing what God/Father has shared through His word. From one people pleaser to another, thank you for sharing your heart.

Self help book

Update: went back with a fresh expectation and the book was good. As a people pleaser myself, she has some great points. Just don’t expect it to be like previous memoirs and you will enjoy it.

Have really enjoyed Jinger’s past books that told some of her story. This isn’t that. This is her trying to write in the self-help genre with a Christian emphasis. The principle behind it is fine if that’s what you’re expecting. I didn’t love that she’s portraying herself as an expert in the field. Couldn’t finish the book. Love Jinger but this one fell flat.

Great, but would be better to have the physical book.

Absolutely adore Jinger. I loved her previous book so I thought I’d get this one.
I could see this book being beneficial to People Pleasers, which I am not and had a hard time relating.
I do feel that this book would be better as a physical book. I think for people pleasers it would be a good book to do as a women’s study. There are questions you can ask yourself at the end of every section.
So all you people pleasers get this book, but get the physical book and take notes.

Conviction

I needed to hear this truth and I am grateful that I had an opportunity to listen

Relevant, Relatable

Enjoyed this more than I expected. I don't identify as a people-pleaser but I still got a lot out of this book. Especially enjoyed it being read by Jinger.

Very helpful

It is a good Christian book on how to follow Christ, and break away from people pleasing. Highly recommend.

Fantastic!

This is so practical yet powerfully freeing. I so appreciated Jinger’s perspective having experienced some of this same religious oppression.

Excellent biblically sound book

Jinger does an amazing job at helping you realize what it means to be a good people pleaser and a bad people pleaser her scripture references really help bring out the differences and what we should strive to be to be better people

Nice lesson

I am a people pleaser. Not to the extent that is mentioned in the book but it was still a good lesson and good to think about. worth the time.
