Not nice : stop people pleasing, staying silent, & feeling guilty ... and start speaking up, saying no, asking boldly, and unapologetically being yourself / Dr. Aziz Gazipura.

Summary:

"Are you too nice? If you find it hard to be assertive, directly ask for what you want, or say "no" to others, then you just might be suffering from too much niceness. In this controversial book, world-renowned confidence expert, Dr. Aziz Gazipura, takes an incisive look at the concept of nice. Through his typical style, Dr. Aziz uses engaging stories, humor, and disarming vulnerability to cut through the nice conditioning and liberate the most bold, expressive, authentic version of you."-- Provided by publisher.
