Review:Dr. Glover's highly readable book delivers succinctly insight after insight on the all but pervasive "Nice Guy syndrome." Without doubt, No More Mr. Nice Guy is the most illuminating explanation on the people-pleasing, self-abnegating pathology I have discovered. Read more
Review:Wonderful, no holds-barred book that tells it like it is and gives you a lot to contemplate. Very easy read as it is not trying to be overly intellectual for the sake of fitting in "the right circles." What you see is what you get, and what you get is fantastic. Read more
Review:One of the best writers in America has really produced a dud. I understand and agree with everything, but it is very poorly written. I have lost respect for him because of this book. I am sure the only reason it was published was because he is David Brooks. Read more
Review:Very useful in many ways. I have listened to every CD and now I need to use them every now and than - jump right in to a chapter or listen to the whole CD again. I highly recommend you to read the book or buy the CD's!! Read more
Review:This is a book for anyone who wonders why they have not or choose not to make changes and what gets in their way. Brene Brown backs up her beliefs with hands on research and a good dose of humility and humor. It is a self help book that reminds us we can't do it without support and connection. Great job Brene.

Review:What a concept! This book helps us care for ourselves in a gentle manner. It helps us let go of old debilitating habits of self-criticism. It is easy to read and sprinkled with personal stories and practical exercises. I suggest this book to all my clients. Read more

As a doctor, we all start out for altruistic reasons but the demands and stresses of practicing medicine in today's world can make you lose some of that feeling. I find that now that I am retired and seeing poor patients for free, I feel more connected to the reason I went into medicine in the first place and am enjoying it more.

Review:It is difficult to write a poor review about a book which hits home to so many. These Christian women mean well and the topic needs to be addressed in today's "busy and fulfilled" culture. YET, the writing is poor quality. Where was the editor? Just because you love Jesus, and have a message to share, should not be an invitation to ramble on and on. Truly, the idea of "showing up, offering compassion without advise or sage words" is a noble thought. BUT, as believers we should demand quali... Read more
Review:We have used this book at our church for summer reading and discussions. Our priest has paired it with videos with Desmond Tutu that have deepened the experience of understanding what forgiving is truly about. Read more
Review:He may be a fine writer , but the way he described going Into open heart surgery did not ring true. I lived thru a life or death surgery, and believe me, there was no dreaming under anesthesia. Further, the Ellegy about our lost common ancestors was heartfelt, but seemed meaningless in light of the "self" that takes over in a situation like this. He makes his survival a homage to our dead relatives, instead of to his doctors. Please dr. Wiesel, give science it's due. Read more
