I recently came across a book that deeply resonates with the principles we uphold at inLIGHTen. It's called Not Nice by Dr. Aziz Gazipura, PsyD. This insightful read delves into the challenges of people-pleasing and the journey towards authentic self-expression.
Dr. Gazipura combines engaging stories and heartfelt vulnerability to address the "nice conditioning" many of us experience. He offers practical strategies to:
- Confidently say "no" when necessary
- Assertively ask for what you want
- Communicate openly in all relationships
- Overcome feelings of guilt, anxiety, and concern about others' opinions
This book aligns seamlessly with our teachings on authenticity and self-awareness. I believe it's a valuable tool for anyone looking to deepen their personal growth journey.
