The problem with people pleasing

from Round Table China · host China Plus

Ever agreed to something you didn't want to do—just to avoid disappointing someone? If this sounds familiar, you might be stuck in the people-pleasing trap: always prioritizing others' needs over your own, even when it leaves you exhausted. But why do we keep doing this? And what price do we really pay? / We recommend one film from the 15th Beijing International Film Festival: Se7en, the 1995 crime thriller directed by David Fincher (22:08). On the show: Heyang, Steve Hatherly & Yushun

Song Against Songs, The by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011.Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia ) UKMotorTalk First Take Media Ltd UKMotorTalk, an independent view on motoring and motor sport with impartial road tests, unbiased advice on buying and selling, insurance, taxation and road safety and all the news that affects your car use.Welcome to UKMotorTalk, each month we'll bring you a round up of the world of motoring with road tests, interviews with leading opinion formers, driving hints and tips and a digest of motoring and motor sport news.
