hi! i'm trying to give my girlfriend a self-help book on learning how to say no. yes, this is a known issue that she has and wants to fix. yes, she has mentioned in passing wanting a book that will help with self-actualization, and this is kind of the theme i have thought of because she genuinely doesn't rly need help with much else.
things that might be important to consider:
– she is very secure with her self
– she is in a very great mental headspace and overall steady
– she does admit to wanting to change this area of herself, but also she is not at all a doormat
– saying no to subtler stuff is the goal! like seemingly simple favors and all but are repetitive, sometimes she feels as if she's seen as someone who's always kind and would run for anything in a heartbeat
– she DOES NOT want a book that says like "step 1 of learning how to say no…", looking for something more… analogous? i guess
anything would help! would prefer shorter pieces tho
