Description
A Nice Guy, according to certified marriage and family therapist Dr. Robert Glover, is a man who believes he is not okay just as he is. He is convinced that he must become what he thinks others want in order to be liked, loved, and get his needs met. He also believes that he must hide anything about himself that might trigger a negative response in others. This inauthentic, chameleon-like approach to life causes Nice Guys to feel frustrated, confused, and resentful. Subsequently, these men are often anything but nice. Common Nice Guy patterns include giving to get, difficulty setting boundaries, dishonesty, codependency, people-pleasing, conflict avoidance, passive-aggressiveness, unsatisfying relationships, and sexual issues.
With this book, Dr. Glover has guided hundreds of thousands of men through the process of recovering from Nice Guy Syndrome. These readers have learned how to release toxic shame, soothe their anxiety, face their fears, connect with other men, embrace their passion and purpose, and experience success in work and career. These men have also learned to set boundaries, handle conflict, make their needs a priority, develop satisfying relationships, and experience great sex.

This book has quite some bad reviews. Interestingly the author seems to be on to something with his analysis of the stereotypical nice guy and his traits. At least for myself I recognized some of those traits and have actually had real problems with them in the past. I don't know if the reasons he gives are accurate in my case, like a deep inherently bad feeling of shame or deficiencies in the relation to the parents. Nevertheless it raises the awareness of those traits and how they can be objectively bad for you ( not only if you are a man ). Addressing them in a systematic manner seems to be a good idea. I refrain from the notion of the need of a therapy though. I think that this is probably going too far.
