It’s Within You, from psychotherapist Dr. Ilene S. Cohen and Rabbi Aryeh Weinstein is the definitive guide to living a life you create and direct - not one dictated by others or circumstances. It all comes down to one simple - but not always easy - shift: Stop expecting others to change and work on changing yourself.

Everyone loves a people-pleaser. They're always willing to help, to stay late, to fill in, to go along. But if you're one of them, you often end up feeling violated, ignored, disrespected, and disconnected from life and others. Silently enduring the ongoing and relentless invalidation of who you are and what you want will reliably wreak havoc on your health and the health of your relationships.

In this straightforward guide, expert relationship therapists Edrica Richardson and Ilene Cohen get to the heart of what it means to really be in fulfilling relationships and why connecting with the ones you love can feel so hard.
