Happy to Help
Adventures of a People Pleaser
Book • 2025
In this memoir, Amy Wilson takes a funny and insightful look at how women are conditioned to be 'happy to help' and what happens when things don't go that way.
Wilson reflects on her life as a big sister, Girl Scout, personal assistant, sitcom sidekick, and mother of three, questioning why she always felt it was her job to put others first.
The book delves into her experiences as a people pleaser, the advice she received when seeking help, and her journey to realize that something else needed to be fixed besides herself.
It is a relatable and humorous account that resonates with anyone who has said 'Happy to help!
' one too many times.
