'I need this book. It doesn't matter how much I lie to myself – I can't avoid the fact I desperately want to be liked' – Paloma Faith

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

You can't please everyone. So let's stop trying.

You can't please everyone. So let's stop trying.

For too long, we’ve tied our self-worth to what other people think – saying yes when we mean no, staying quiet and losing sight of what we actually want

In Likeable, Fearne Cotton gets honest about her own people-pleasing and asks: what happens when we stop trying to be liked and start learning to like ourselves?
