While people pleasers can be some of the nicest people you'll meet, they have an uncanny knack for finding themselves in relationships with controllers. Knowing how pleasers are motivated by duty and obligation, the controllers will persuade, cajole, argue, and convince, knowing they can erode the resolve of the pleaser rather quickly. This, of course, leaves the pleaser with residual feelings of hurt, anxiety, and resentment. Because pleasers are not as skilled in the art of coercion as the controller, they can collapse in feelings of futility. In the book, When Pleasing You Is Killing Me, Dr. Les Carter explains how the pleaser can become freed from futility by choosing to stay out of the controller's power games altogether. Drawing upon decades of counseling with a wide array of frustrated nice people, Dr. Carter gives sound direction to those seeking to reclaim their true selves. Relationship boundaries are explained, assertiveness is taught, and insights are offered as the reader is guided into a paradigm shift regarding the ways to respond to a controller.

In this twenty-first century, our pastors are dying, churches are splitting, leaders are being exposed and ridiculed, and marriages and relationships are being destroyed-all because no one wants to die to self in order to serve. As I once did, have you ever thought about quitting and throwing in the towel because helping others has taken a toll on you? Have you ever felt like your life didn't matter, but you knew that God gave you a promise? Have you ever been hurt while trying to do what God called you to do? Have you felt like others have taken you for granted? Helping You is Killing Me will encourage you to hold on to your promise and cling to your dream, vision, and purpose. Don't quit. Don't leave. Don't stop pushing. Don't stop serving. Most importantly, don't step outside of God's will for your life. This is a test! Pastor Everett and his family moved to the central Florida area in 2005 from Atlanta, Georgia, after serving in ministry for more than 19 years at New Birth Church, where Bishop Eddie L. Long is the Senior Pastor and Trinity Chapel Church of God, where Bishop Jim Bolin is the Senior Pastor. He currently serves as the Executive and Worship Pastor at Celebration of Praise Church in Clermont, Florida, where Bishop Chris Dutruch is the Senior Pastor. In addition to serving as the Executive and Worship Pastor, Everett and his wife, Kateena, serve as the Marriage Ministry Directors. In 2001, Everett released his first CD, titled "I Am Yours."

From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together
