About this listen

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.

You'll discover how to:

  • Easily say "no" when you want to and need to
  • Confidently and effectively ask for what you want
  • Speak up more freely in all your relationships
  • Eliminate feelings of guilt, anxiety, and worry about what others will think

This is much more practicle than other books I've read in this area. Plus Aziz is genuine and every now and then laugh-out-loud funny. I'll be reading other works of his for sure.

It was so uncanny hearing myself reflected so accurately in these pages- from the constant need to please others, to the powerlessness I felt in living my own life to even the physical manifestations of constantly suppressing my own shadow. I wanted to shout so many times listening to this ‘This is me!!’ I could not stop listening. Even after a few days of practising what I heard I could see the transformative power of these ideas. I was able to fight through feelings that ‘I must be wrong’ to negotiate with seniors at work and to talk to a complete stranger for no other reason than I wanted to. I look forward to completing the 30 day challenge. Take it from a recovering nice guy, if you are sick and tired of always being the nice one, this book is for you.

I got this book a few years ago, along with "The Solution to Social Anxiety" by Dr G, and they've both played huge roles in helping me become a better version of myself and grow. I feel like more of a "real person" now than I ever have done, and still making progress.

I've suffered with performance based and social anxiety, low self esteem, and confidence problems for nearly two decades, I'm in my mid-twenties.

Even just listening to these books when I'm feeling anxious calms me down!

I've listened to both books twice and still drop in on certain chapters because it's a lot to learn and take in, but the content in these books has been invaluable.

A very valuable book for me
