Not Nice: Stop People Pleasing, Staying Silent, & Feeling Guilty... And Start Speaking Up, Saying No, Asking Boldly, And Unapologetically Being Yourself

Product Information

This is a story that proves it’s OK to be different and shows that with a little help from friends and family you can achieve anything.

When someone donates a fifty dollar bill with a personal message on it, she’s launched on a journey to find out where it came from and in the process finds herself. Acting this way fosters healthy communication between yourself and those you interact with, such as your family, friends, colleagues and acquaintances. I continue to play this in my car on my way to and from work because it's like having my own personal shrink and cheerleader rolled into one that I can take with me and listen to when I feel the anxiety start to build in me. Aziz uses engaging stories, humor, and disarming vulnerability to cut through the nice conditioning and liberate the most bold,. Gazipura provides practical advice on how to set boundaries, assert oneself, and cultivate genuine self-confidence.The chapter headings were hilarious and I loved seeing characters from Jennifer Peel's "A Pumpkin and a Patch" as this is the companion novel though it can definitely be read as standalone.

You can tell he is ‘reading’ the text but he also ad-libs and inserts tone and words that add to the natural flow of the narration.

I read this before its companion book, A Pumpkin and a Patch, and I was impressed that they provided a simultaneous timeline without being repetitive with dialogue, which made each book stand so well on its own. I like long books when there is enough good content, but this becomes very repetitive, and there are way too many long-winded personal stories and plugs for his other books and programs. It's so long and 2/3rds of it is recycled Tim Ferris (who I hate) and Tony Robbins and all the other douchebags who teach people how to be assholes and not do things they don't want to do.I thought this book served as a good complement to the book "Psycho-Cybernetics" because they both encourage people to stop "overly filtering" their true nature. We looked at the top Assertiveness Workbooks and dug through the reviews from some of the most popular review sites. I just REALLY want to be in his head for a bit, to view Jenna and all the crazy situations she drags him into. Resourceful insight , Aziz offers many mind refraiming tools for the habitants living in the "Nice Valley" that want to "Christopfor Columbing" their way out of it.

I read the book about Josie first and loved the snippets of time that Jenna was in the scene and getting to know her personality.

so she pegs him as gruff and emotionally unavailable after about 10 seconds so… why… did he ask her out?

Some of the Exercises at the end are amazing and if you throw yourself into them, you will be so surprised on how far you have come. In her internal monologue, she doesn’t even wish for better, she just wishes for the next emotionally unavailable man to actually stick around. If you're looking for lots of swoony moments and sweet romantic conversations you'll have to be patient with this book.Honestly, it's more honest to be direct with your feelings; trying to cover up how you feel is manipulative. In fact, the quality of your life depends on how many of these uncomfortable conversations you are willing to have. One of my favourite parts of the book is when Sophie overcomes her fears and stands up for herself, which is an empowering moment for her and anyone reading this book who may be experiencing something similar themselves.
