About this audiobook

Many of us become very good at being agreeable, dependable, and easy to deal with, and slowly lose track of what we actually want. Stop Trying to Fit In looks at how the need for approval shapes our decisions, our relationships, and the way we see ourselves, and what it takes to trust your own judgment again without becoming cold or selfish. Along the way, you will find clear explanations, questions worth asking yourself, and simple exercises, with pause points so you can think or write. By Tom Jahns. Narrated with an AI-generated voice. Published by Inner Self HQ.
