Recently, a huge online discussion about people-pleasers versus self-pleasers was sparked by my recent article, “Stop being a People Pleaser.” As one reader explains, ” I’d love to see an article taking the opposite position: How do I start pleasing other people and caring about their needs? I’m kind of a cynical, misanthropic [jerk] and apparently that’s not OK in most lines of business. Do I change, or do I find a new line of work?”

In response, I explored the perspectives of both types of people in: “To Please or Not to Please, That is the Question.” Outlining the two different perspectives, I explain how we can all empower ourselves and redefine authenticity in our approach to the world and other people. Are you a people-pleaser or a self-pleaser? Check out my tips and the fascinating comments they’ve sparked.
