Too Nice for Your Own Good: How to Stop Making 9 Self-Sabotaging Mistakes

Are you, like many of us, too nice for your own good? This remarkable book will empower you to get what you need and deserve, out of life...and still be a nice person!
If you're like most folks, you were raised to be nice. Yet now you find yourself asking: If I'm so nice, why isn't my life better? Renowned minister and lecturer Duke Robinson has the answer. Robinson says that well-intended behavior is essential to a humane society, but carries a down side. Being nice often means we take on too much, tell little lies, strive endlessly for perfection, and fall prey to other self-defeating behaviors. Now Robinson outlines the nine unconscious mistakes nice people make daily, and he shows how to correct them and avoid unnecessary stress with life-affirming actions. Learn how to:

• Say no and save yourself from burnout
• Tell others what you want, and actually receive it
• Express anger in healing ways that maintain valued relationships
• Respond effectively when irrationally criticized or attacked
• Liberate your true self.
