mebrandonv 's review for:
No More Mr. Nice Guy
by Robert A. Glover
medium-paced
I had found a recommendation for this book a while back on a Reddit thread about divorce. It was presented as something to read to recover and work on oneself while going through the process of divorce, specifically while having a co-dependent partner.
While there may be a few nuggets of wisdom sprinkled throughout the book, it is often difficult to get to as you have to make your way to the ceaseless pushing of the Nice Guy Recovery Group suggestions and the consistent teasing of the actual information you're looking for. Often times I found myself thinking about just putting the book down and moving on to anything more productive. There is also the fact that there is a theme of chauvenism, for lack of a better word, where it's presented that the male has to assert dominance over their partner for them to gain respect and to be the proper leader in the relationship.
If you can get past the insinuation that you were abandoned as a child by your distanced father and that your mother was needy and made you this way, there are some good things you can deem out of this book. Some of the exercises could prove beneficial and it offers the chance to see what could be seen as Nice Guy Syndrom in oneself to correct behaviors and the shame that is talked about in this book.
