Synopsis

"Nice" people want to be liked by everyone. They are afraid of offending, and adapt their behaviour to what they think other people want. Although they aim to please they feel compromised and badly treated a lot of the time. They find it hard to ask for what they really want and there are times when they do not even know what they want. This is the theory that this book suggests. It goes on to explore the techniques needed to help "nice" people choose a different ways of behaving, and put them back in control of their lives. Issues covered include boundary setting, status, dealing with uncomfortable feelings, slowing things down, role reversal, humour, agreement and levelling.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

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.

Revue de presse

'The book is easy to read, thoughtful and practical. Jo Ellen Grzyb writes as well as she talks and the ideas that she and Robin Chandler have sewn together are guaranteed to turn even a double dyed doormat into an altogether more thoughtful kind of soft furnishing'
Anna Raeburn
'Grzyb and Chandler have charted a comprehensive map to finding the healthy, happy, middle ground that is designed to help you get what you want out of life'
