Stop Being Nice

Why do we pretend to be something we are not? Usually so nice and friendly? Why do we try so hard to meet the expectations of others? According to Thomas d'Ansembourg, this only makes us unhappy. We do not express what we feel or want and therefore do not get what we need. In this way, we play a role and put on a mask with which we deceive ourselves and those around us.
The author wants to help us break this vicious circle. Let us say what we think, feel and need. The author shows step by step how we can tackle this.
- it is better for ourselves, and also for our partner, friends and family if we are clear
- an efficient tool to be who we are, and thus to be heard and seen
- based on the nonviolent communication model (Marshall Rosenberg)
- the author uses humor and provides many examples
