Book Description
Originally published as an e-book that became a controversial media phenomenon, No More Mr. Nice Guy! landed its author, a certified marriage and family therapist, on The O'Reilly Factor and the Rush Limbaugh radio show. Dr. Robert Glover has dubbed the "Nice Guy Syndrome" trying too hard to please others while neglecting one's own needs, thus causing unhappiness and resentfulness. It's no wonder that unfulfilled Nice Guys lash out in frustration at their loved ones, claims Dr. Glover. He explains how they can stop seeking approval and start getting what they want in life, by presenting the information and tools to help them ensure their needs are met, to express their emotions, to have a satisfying sex life, to embrace their masculinity and form meaningful relationships with other men, and to live up to their creative potential.

Book Description
Nice people want to be liked by everyone; they are afraid of offending; they accommodate other people above themselves; they adapt their behaviour to what they think other people want. Nice people are people-pleasers but feel compromised and hard done by a lot of the time. They find it hard, if not impossible, to ask for what they want; there are times when they don't know what they want. They expect other people to be as considerate as they are and think life isn't fair when that doesn't happen. THE NICE FACTOR explores the techniques needed to help people choose a different way of behaving and to put them back in the driving seat of their lives.
