No More Mr. Nice Guy

Sometimes you simply have to say no, regardless of how other people feel about it.

No more mister wimpy trying to fit into everyone's expectations and afraid to be yourself. You can't please everyone, but you can please yourself.

This book helped me understand that you have to put your interests first before you can be happy or make anyone else happy. It's not about becoming an egocentric asshole, and your personality will never essentially change, but it's about accepting deep-rooted toxic shame deep down inside and ridding yourself of the erroneous inbuilt belief that you're worthless or did something incredibly wrong in the past.

It may not 100% fit your personal experiences and you may not agree with everything written in this book, nor is it scintillating reading, but it helps the process of accepting who you are, being less of a pussy and more in control of your personal requirements.

If you're in a bad relationship or going through a tough time, this book can really help you understand the escape and recovery process.
