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.
