No One Teaches You This

Your calendar is full. So is your head. Where does that leave you? We learn to keep our promises and consider other people. Our own feelings, boundaries and needs can easily get sidelined. In No One Teaches You This, Dutch author Michel Peen explores how to listen to your own voice again. He looks at people-pleasing, difficult conversations and everyday choices about work, money, family and screens. He also offers questions for dealing with organisations, seeking help and making room for grief. With familiar situations, dry humour, practical questions and eleven worksheets, this book helps you find a next step that fits your life. Its thirty chapters cover emotional awareness, self-respect, relationships, everyday routines and finding appropriate support. You can read it from beginning to end or start with the subject that matters to you now. First English edition, translated from Niemand leert je dit. Examples of laws and support services reflect the Netherlands; readers elsewhere should use the services and rules that apply in their own country.
