Setting boundaries and telling people that you disagree with something doesn’t make you a jerk. It shows that you have respect for yourself, which will most likely make others respect you as well. Dr. Glover wants recovering nice guys to know how beneficial it is for their lives to stop being so nice to everyone and start pushing their opinions, doing what they want in their lives, and to not let people walk all over them. Doing this will help guys get to the next step in their lives. Who Could Benefit From Reading This Book? Of course, I'd like to point out the real problem here is codependent behavior which is not actually a problem specific to either gender. I'd highly recommend researching that topic if this book appeals to you.

Almost everything he says in this book could be just as useful to women.

If you can enlist the help of 2-10 of your friends who you think might be interested in eradicating some of their nice guy behaviours, I can’t recommend it highly enough. Why I Recommend No More Mr. Nice Guy In a way, the Nice Guy is an evolutionary mistake: the result of the misinterpretation of some childhood experiences and the misuse of some survival mechanisms. In their mind, the things they did when children – and when feeling like themselves – were wrong and now, if they do everything differently, they’d probably get the problem-free, conflict-less life they’ve been dreaming about.

For example, if a person gives his dog a treat when he pisses on the carpet, the dog will keep pissing on the carpet. The same is true for humans.

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.
Once again, everybody does that. Make Your Needs a Priority and Reclaim Your Personal Power and Masculinity Nice Individuals are so fascinated winning permission as a result of the reality that they hesitate of being deserted as an outcome of youth years problems.

Therefore, they never ever protect themselves. Therefore, no one like them in any case. Their service: attempt more challenging. While in my early 30’s, in spite of my unwavering faith in this philosophy, my life was in crises. One marriage had ended. A second one wasn’t going so well. My career dreams were stalled. I was frustrated, resentful, and confused. If you talked to the people closest to me, I wasn’t so nice. Nice Guys often try to be different from their fathers. Because oftentimes, they had been neglected by them.Seriously? What the hell is left for a definition of femininity? The part of a woman that equips her to give in and give up, fracture social groups to be more easily consumed by predators, to consume and destroy, that empowers her to steal food from her babies' mouths, and use them as handy portable shark decoys in case of danger?
