A blunt guide to why people ar avoiding you and what to do about it

A brutally honest, laugh-out-loud modern update to Dale Carnegie’s classic—for people who hate fake networking.

Tired of pretending to care just so you can “leverage authentic connections”?

Stop Being Exhausting is the no-filter guide to being less exhausting and more human.
It’s How to Win Friends and Influence People rewired for the age of LinkedIn flexes, oversharing, and performative “personal brands.”

Author Raymond Davey takes a sledgehammer to the habits that quietly wreck relationships:

• Talking more than you listen and calling it “networking.”

• Turning every chat into a sales pitch or therapy session.

• Confusing confidence with domination and authenticity with oversharing.

• Treating connection like a competition you need to win.

You’ll learn how to stop being the human version of spam and start being the person people actually want to talk to—without losing your edge, your humor, or your sanity.

It’s sharp, fast, and painfully accurate.

If The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fck* and How to Win Friends and Influence People met at a coffee shop and decided to co-write something for modern humans who over-share and under-listen, this would be it.

Perfect for:

• Anyone who wants to stop being “too much” without fading into the wallpaper.

• Professionals who hate networking but still need to do it.

• Recovering people-pleasers and chronic over-talkers.

• Anyone brave enough to admit that, sometimes… you might actually be the problem.

Stop performing your personality. Start being human.

And maybe, just maybe, stop getting in your own way.
