No More Mr. Nice Guy

No More Mr. Nice Guy is a tough but really helpful read if you’ve spent most of your life people-pleasing and putting yourself last.

What I appreciated most is how clearly the book shows that being a “nice guy” isn’t actually kind or healthy—it’s usually about avoiding conflict, hiding parts of yourself, and hoping other people will finally give you the approval you’re not giving yourself. That hit hard.

The book helped me realize:
• Saying no doesn’t make you selfish.
• You can set boundaries and still be a caring, loving person.
• Real confidence comes from being honest about what you want, not from trying to be perfect or “easygoing” all the time.

It’s very direct, sometimes uncomfortably so, but that’s also why it works. If you’ve ever felt resentful, overlooked, or like you’re always the one accommodating everyone else, this book gives you language, insight, and practical steps to start changing that.
