Accelerate Your Nice Guy Recovery
If you’re here, there’s a good chance it’s because you read No More Mr. Nice Guy by Dr. Robert Glover and it turned your whole f*cking world upside down.
Maybe you were wondering why nothing seems to go your way. Or why you never get that raise or promotion. Or why you’re afraid of conflict.
Maybe you were wondering why women keep stomping all over your heart. Or why you always end up in the friend zone. Or why you never walk away when you know you should.
Maybe you were wondering why you can’t stand up for yourself. Or why you never seem to take any risks in life. Or why you aren’t living up to your fullest potential.
Maybe you were just going down the self-help rabbit hole looking for anything that might help you get more out of life.
And then…you read that goddamn book and you quickly discovered that you’ve got a bad case of Nice Guy Syndrome.
Welcome to the club.
“Groups are the most effective way I know of to break free from the Nice Guy Syndrome.” – Dr. Robert Glover
What’s Wrong with Being a Nice Guy?
Certainly, there is nothing wrong with being nice to others. But, this isn’t about being nice to others. This is about being nice to yourself. And, when you fail to stand up for your values, make your own needs a priority, and walk away from bad situations, you’re denying yourself the life you deserve. And, in fact, you’re not really being nice at all. You’re also venturing down a path towards frustration and heartbreak.
Nice Guys are dependent on external validation. They’ll do damn near anything to avoid conflict. And, according to Dr. Glover, Nice Guys are guided by three principles or “covert contracts.” These covert contracts are:
- If I am a good guy, then everyone will love me and like me (and people I desire will desire me).
- If I meet other people’s needs without them having to ask, then they will meet my needs.
- If I do everything right, then I will have a smooth, problem-free life.
These covert contracts exist at an unconscious level, and they simply don’t work. But, Nice Guys are convinced they should. When Nice Guys believe they have fulfilled their side of these contracts, they tend to feel helpless and resentful when others don’t fulfill their side.
Who exactly is the Nice Guy?
- He is the husband who lets his wife run the show.
- He is the boyfriend who frustrates his girlfriend because he is so afraid of conflict that nothing ever gets resolved.
- He is the friend who will do damn near anything for anybody, even though his own life is a mess.
- He is the boss who tells one person what they want to hear, then reverses himself to please someone else.
- He is the employee who works overtime and never asks for a raise or promotion.
- He is the man who lets people walk all over him because he is petrified of controversy.
- He is the man who never says NO and never sets boundaries.
- He is the man whose life seems completely under control, until…BOOM. One day he does something to destroy it all.

The opposite of a Nice Guy isn’t an asshole. The opposite of a Nice Guy is an Integrated Man.
An Integrated Man feels good about himself from the inside out. An Integrated Man does not seek the approval of others. An Integrated Man seeks to improve himself – not so others will like him, but because he knows he can add value to the world.
