What No More Mr. Nice Guy is about
Robert A. Glover takes aim at what he calls nice guy syndrome, the habit of pleasing other people at your own expense in the hope that happiness, love and fulfillment will come back your way. He argues that the strategy does not work and sets out to debunk it. The book is direct and practical, offering advice on rediscovering who you are, building better relationships with others, and reviving your sex life. It will be most useful for men who suspect that their constant accommodating has left them resentful, unseen or stuck, and who want a frank push toward a different way of living.
