Heroine Sophie Miller already feels seriously uncool, no thanks to her toe-curlingly embarrassing family. I read this before its companion book, A Pumpkin and a Patch, and I was impressed that they provided a simultaneous timeline without being repetitive with dialogue, which made each book stand so well on its own. Check out online reviews from multiple sources to find out what people think about the book, whether it made a difference in their lives and what stood out to them about the book’s methodology. Aziz Gazipura takes us on a journey of understanding and overcoming what he refers to as the "Nice Guy Syndrome". Aziz uses engaging stories, humor, and disarming vulnerability to cut through the nice conditioning and liberate the most bold,.

He goes on to explore how this authenticity can positively impact our personal and professional relationships, leading to more fulfilling and balanced interactions. I have the right to share my perspective, even if someone might disagree or temporarily be uncomfortable.Not only did it have a lot of wisdom, but it also includes many action steps for how to apply its wisdom in every day life. He tries to sound motivating (think like Ted Talks), but it sounds as if he's saying, "If you don't do these things you'll never change". I loved the family relationships and characters having to discover their true selves and facing hard things and healing and learning and growing and so much more! There were several great scenes set at the patch, with Jenna and Aidan and with the whole Peterson crew.

There is a kissing scene that gets a little spicy but not handsy and nothing further than the kisses. Feeling desperate, she acts out of character and lands herself in trouble, but the question is, will Sophie be brave enough when it really matters?You’ll start to see that there is no threat in the disapproval of others, which allows you to relax in a deep and powerful way. He provides insights on how to become more assertive in daily life, nurturing more genuine and balanced relationships in the process. Jenna also has her own career during the week and she and Aiden spend time in other locations, but it still had a small-town vibe. In "Not Nice," Aziz Gazipura challenges the belief that being nice is the key to success and happiness. While it was repetitive at times, it made me more mindful of when I'm being 'too nice' and not my authentic self.
