In order to celebrate the 20th anniversary of our beloved Stop Being Nice, Start Being Real, we are publishing a new edition of the title, to be published this fall as well ! In this special anniversary edition, Thomas d'Ansembourg's has added an afterword to reflect on the lessons of this major best-seller and the impact it has had in the life of many readers.
We're much more likely to speak politely to other people than to run the risk of expressing our true feelings. Our natural instinct is to be obliging, to wear a mask and to play a role, hoping to win recognition and acceptance. Sooner or later, though, this habit of masking our true feelings will lead us to ignore the feelings of others, stirring up conflict. Being Genuine: Stop Being Nice, Start Being Real will help us break through our restraints. We need to be more aware of the way we think and behave, to recognize and take care of our own needs rather than wait for someone else to step in.
Highlighting his points with striking examples, the author explains how our tendency to downplay our personal needs inevitably sets up conflict within ourselves, prompting us to hurt others. This book is an invitation to nip potential violence in the bud – in the mind and heart of each of us.
