I can't tell you enough how much this book has helped me to recognize what has been holding me back from getting what I want. Humans are naturally selfish to some degree, so it is incredibly unhealthy if you approach relationships with an expectation that putting others first will earn you love or affection.Īll in all, I highly recommend reading the book for yourself (I'm sure someone can find the ebook online and post a link to it). However, if this quality sticks around into adulthood, it can cripple your professional, social, and romantic relationships. Children naturally become distressed at not having their emotional needs met, and thus as a survival mechanism they try to eliminate their needs in order to receive love in return. Most Nice Guys had a distant father-figure in their childhood. One of the most interesting parts of this book was Glover's talk about 'childhood abandonment experiences'. Is uncomfortable expressing what they really feel or think Is afraid to take risks and challenge himself Is not respected and gets taken advantage of I still think that being nice on some levels is important and there is no point in being a dick for the sake of it, but Glover's book goes so much deeper than this. First, let me preface this by saying that I used to pride myself on being such a nice person.
