No One Teaches You This

When did you last stop to ask what you wanted? In No One Teaches You This, Michel Peen explores how to make more room for yourself in everyday life. Through familiar situations, gentle humor and clear questions, he invites you to understand your feelings, recognize recurring patterns and take your own needs seriously. Thirty chapters cover self-respect, boundaries, relationships, parenting, screens, work, money and everyday choices. The book also explores seeking support, dealing with organizations, grief, trauma and personal safety. Practical exercises and worksheets help you turn reflection into a manageable next step. You can read from beginning to end or start with what matters to you now, at your own pace. Originally written in Dutch, this English edition includes Netherlands-based examples and support resources, with guidance for readers in other countries. For anyone who wants to understand themselves better and make choices that fit their own life.
