Being Genuine: Stop Being Nice, Start Being Real

Afraid to say “no”? Enough of ignoring your own needs! This book will teach you to improve relationships with others while staying yourself. All the trouble comes from the fact that we constantly try to reshape ourselves to meet the expectations of other people, believes the book’s author, Toma d’Ansembour. We do what we don’t want, but what it seems others want from us. That’s where resentments, conflicts, dissatisfaction with one’s own life, and other people’s attitude toward us come from. What to do? Apply the principles of “Nonviolent Communication”—a system that helps you understand your real desires and teaches you to formulate requests to others correctly.
