No More Mr. Nice Guy

Product Information

Nice Guys hide their true selves from the world because they believe that their true selves are the problem; and, thus, they make the problem worse.

Relationships by their very nature are chaotic, eventful, and challenging.” Recovery from the Nice Guy Syndrome is dependent on revealing one’s self and receiving support from safe people. It is essential, therefore, that men who want to break free from the Nice Guy Syndrome find safe people to assist them in this process.”

No-one can be everything for a person. Boundaries are a way of telling people that you have respect for yourself and that they can’t walk over you. Doing this might be difficult for some people.

They are clear, direct, and expressive, and willing to protect those they care about in a much more direct no-nonsense way.My tattered and dog-eared first edition of No more Mr. Nice Guy has served me and all of mankind well.

Two irritants in my reading of the book were its overall repetitiveness—perhaps a fifth of the material could just be cut out, if read in one sitting—and the number of formatting issues in the Kindle edition; I flagged 23 content errors in total. Helping your friends out is a great and noble thing. In fact, the world would be a better place if people would help each other out more.
