Adventures of a People Pleaser
by Amy Wilson
“My fellow type-A souls, Amy Wilson understands us. It's time to put down all we've been carrying, pick up this funny, all-too-relatable memoir, and rejoice in the empathy of a kindred spirit. Let someone else run the world today.”
―Mary Laura Philpott, author of I Miss You When I Blink
Amy Wilson, co-host of the award-winning podcast What Fresh Hell, takes a funny and insightful look at how women are conditioned to be“happy to help”―and what happens when we try to do things differently.
Amy Wilson has always been an ultimate helper. As a big sister, Girl Scout, faithful reader of teen magazines, personal assistant, sitcom sidekick, and, finally, mother of three, Amy learned to put others first, to do what she was told, to finish what she started, and to look like she had everything under control, even when she very much did not.
Along the way, Amy started to wonder why doing it all had been her job. Still, when she tried to hand over some of her to-dos, no one was particularly interested in taking them. And when she asked for help, in return, she got advice: have a sense of humor, quit nagging, and stop trying to be perfect.
Happy to Help tells the stories of how Amy dutifully took on these goals―with varying degrees of hilarious failure―until the day she started to question if something else needed to be fixed besides herself.
“In this honest, insightful, and often hilarious account, Amy Wilson explores her experience and frustrations as a people-pleaser―her story will resonate with anyone who has said, ‘Happy to help!’ one too many times. I couldn’t put it down.”
―Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project
