Book Review of Approval Addiction : Overcoming Your Need to Please Everyone

Approval Addiction : Overcoming Your Need to Please Everyone
sunshine0716 avatar reviewed on + 5 more book reviews


For years, I have lived through and with the need for approval from others. Be it in my actions towards them (acts of service), words that I withheld, or who I believed myself to be based on the opinions or actions of others towards me.
This stemmed from an early set "root of rejection" by my father who left home when I was 5. The image I had of myself was poor, I needed God and I needed direction in my thoughts and behaviors.

I found Joyce Meyer on Facebook reels and she has been a true inspiration and guide post for me. She is funny and down to Earth, but truly convicted in her belief of our Higher Power.
I recommend this book to anyone needing a quick read for recovery for approval addiction.
