The Self-Respect Handbook

You say yes when you mean no. You let the comment slide. You explain, apologise, over-deliver, and go home resenting people who never asked you to. Self-respect is not a feeling you wait for. It is a set of standards you keep, and this book is about keeping them.

The Self-Respect Handbook is a 14-chapter guide to noticing where you abandon yourself and stopping, with scripts for the moments that matter.
