You Can't Please Everyone | The powerful new book from the #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Good Vibes, Good Life

Reclaim Your Power in a World Obsessed with Approval



Do you feel torn between who you are and who the world is asking you to be? Do you feel guilty for wanting peace, anxious about setting boundaries, and responsible for everyone’s happiness but your own?

VEX KING, THE #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR WHOSE BOOKS HAVE TRANSFORMED MILLIONS OF LIVES WORLDWIDE, RETURNS WITH HIS MOST POWERFUL BOOK YET.

THE LONG-AWAITED FOLLOW-UP TO THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER GOOD VIBES, GOOD LIFE, YOU CAN'T PLEASE EVERYONE SHOWS YOU HOW TO STOP ABANDONING YOURSELF FOR APPROVAL AND FINALLY LIVE WITH CONFIDENCE, AUTHENTICITY AND INNER PEACE.

Do you say yes when every part of you wants to say no? Do you overthink every message, keep the peace, carry other people’s feelings and worry you’re still not doing enough? Does life feel like a constant audition, where your worth depends on being who others want you to be?

Vex King has helped millions of people worldwide on their paths of growth and self-reflection. Here he shows how seeking approval leads you to abandon your centre – the place of self-trust, authenticity and inner peace.

People-pleasing can look like love, kindness or responsibility, but it often begins where self-love has been forgotten. At its heart is the fear that who you truly are might not be worthy of love, acceptance and belonging. This isn’t about caring less. It’s about loving yourself deeply enough to stop abandoning yourself, protect your peace and return to your centre.

Blending lived experience, spiritual insight and practical tools, Vex reveals how to rebuild self-trust, build healthier relationships and make choices that align with your values. You’ll learn how to:

Stop people-pleasing without feeling guilty
Set healthy boundaries that strengthen – not damage – your relationships
Quiet overthinking and stop seeking constant approval
Build unshakable self-trust and confidence
Handle criticism, rejection and conflict with greater peace
Create relationships based on authenticity instead of performance

You can’t please everyone. But you can finally be yourself, and peace begins when you stop abandoning yourself for everyone else.

‘Some people will like you more when you’re agreeable, endlessly available and easier to manipulate, but you’re not here to please everyone. You’re here to rise, awaken and live as your whole self – not the edited version that keeps others at ease.’
