My Way. Or No Way. – When everything has to go my way (e-book)

An argument about mugs in the dishwasher is never about the mugs. It’s about who’s right, who gives way and whether the other person takes you seriously. And in a meeting it’s exactly the same, just with more talk of “efficiency”.

My Way. Or No Way. isn’t a book about killing your ego, or about learning to please everyone. It’s about five differences that easily blur together in everyday life: confidence and ego, compromise and capitulation, respect and obedience, control and security, boundaries and stubbornness.

What’s inside

• 12 chapters on needing to be right, control, compromise, people-pleasing, emotional pressure, escalating arguments, and why we’re in charge at work but silent at home

• Funny, realistic scenes from relationships, family, friendship, work and business

• Model dialogues in two versions: “how it escalates” and “how it can go better”

• Recurring features: Sound familiar?, The ego just spoke, Try it differently, When you give in too much, and Small experiment

• 26 everyday situations: the automatic reaction, why it hurts, a better phrase and what it makes possible

• A traffic-light model for when to give way and when to stand firm

• A seven-day experiment with small changes in behaviour

• The worksheet “Who am I when it’s not my way?” with 24 questions (no diagnoses, no labels)

Who it’s for

• People who need the last word, even when nothing’s really at stake.

• People who say “I don’t mind” when they do mind.

• Couples, colleagues, managers, business owners and adult children still defending themselves to their parents.

• Anyone who wants fewer pointless arguments and more conversations that lead somewhere.
