Breaking Free from People-Pleasing, but a Bit Repe

Stop Being Nice is a refreshing push for anyone tired of always putting others first. It’s blunt, practical, and motivating, but at times the advice circles back on itself and feels stretched. Still, if you struggle with boundaries and saying no, this book delivers a much-needed wake-up call.

Breaking Free from People Pleasing

I loved about Stop Being Nice is how it shines a light on the hidden cost of always trying to please others. The book helped me see how being overly nice was draining my energy and robbing me of my confidence. The strategies for setting boundaries are practical and easy to apply in real life. It’s eye-opening, motivating, and empowering.

Learn to Set Boundaries

I hate being a pushover. Sometimes being too nice will make people take advantage of your kindness. Some people can have manipulative behaviors and use that to their advantage. The strategies included in this audiobook are using nlp, dark psychology, and the like to become aware of those manipulative tactics, and how to prevent them from happening to you. I'm not a big fan of using nlp and some other tactics here because they themselves can be manipulative. Be confident, sure, but don't be a meanie yourself. NLP can be a form of wake hypnosis in that it uses hypnotic language to alter the other person's behavior. In other words, you manipulate them by saying certain things a certain way. I do like the setting boundaries and being assertive chapter though. Sometimes it's best to just say no and hold your ground.

I liked how the author explains manipulation in such clear, relatable ways, which made me realize how often I had overlooked it in my own life.
