Customer Reviews

Humorous and Helpful

I have always been a victime of "toxic niceness" and afraid to say no to anyone. After reading this, I realized that it is ok to say no and you don't have to be nicey nicey to people that are mean and hateful. You can't please everyone no matter how hard you try and you don't have to put up with someone treating you like a doormat. After reading this, I am much more confident in standing up for myself and to say "I don't think so"

Hilarious and Helpful

This book cured me of my Nice Girl complex and for that I will be forever grateful. (My husband, however, has mixed feelings about it.) The book hilariously exposes the logical fallacy of "Toxic Niceness" and empowers the reader to say what she's really thinking. It seems so obvious in retrospect.Do you know a gal who's too nice? Do her a favor and give her a copy of this funny and empowering book!

Awesome Book

When a friend gave this book to me, I thought it was mostly just going to be a humorous book to read. I was more than pleasantly surprised. It is humorous, but it also is one great book. For anyone that struggles with being a people pleaser and doormat this is the book to read. It has some practical and relatively simple advice on how to get rid of the neon flashing doormat sign above your head. I loved it and I'm trying out some of the techniques. Being a counselor, I've read many books about this subject and I must say that I find this one to be of great value- humorous and practical all at once!!

IT IS ALWAYS OUT ON LOAN

My husband gave this book to me as a joke, as a male it was the title that caught his eye. Obviously a book so small is very easy reading but I laughed and laughed. What was being said was so true. Anyone feeling a little low on the injustices of women should read this book. My book is always out on loan, with the understanding that it MUST be returned. I have just submitted an English assignment on 'political correctness' and I used this book. As a woman are you sometimes treated with disrepect, made to feel subserviant or your views dont count, as the book says "I dont think so".

Humor and power work well together

As a thirtysomething woman who grew up with a drive for (and assumption of) success, but without prescribed rules of behavior on how to achieve it, I found the advice in this book invaluable. It's not about artificial constructs or the use of manipulation, but about how honesty and humor are the tools to make jobs and relationships really work. I've given it to more than a handful of friends and relatives, female and male.
