Summary: Dr Aziz Gazipura PsyD's Not Nice: Stop People Pleasing, Staying Silent, & Feeling Guilty... And Start Speaking Up, Saying No, Asking Boldly, And Unapologetically Being Yourself
STOP BEING SO NICE!
Note to This is a summary and analysis book based on Not Stop People Pleasing, Staying Silent, & Feeling Guilty... And Start Speaking Up, Saying No, Asking Boldly, And Unapologetically Being Yourself by Dr Aziz Gazipura PsyD. This is meant to enhance your original reading experience, not supplement it. We strongly encourage you to purchase the original book
With love, Dr. Aziz Gazipura embarks in this narrative to help those who are suffering under the guise of “niceness” to break out of their shell and begin being Not Nice.
Throughout, Dr. Gazipura analyzes the processes that go into being nice, and how some of these processes end up costing us our autonomy, power, and happiness. We lost out on connecting with those we love if we continue to be afraid of disapproval. In fact, in this work there is the common theme of facing fear, and greeting our more unsavory feelings or characteristics with love and patience, as opposed to self-hate and criticism.
Excited to help us on our journey, Dr. Gazipura outlines the ways in which we can learn to become freer, which include analyzing what is going on inside of ourselves every time we find ourselves over-analyzing an interaction we may have had where we perceived ourselves as being “not nice.” Usually, as we learn, this is because we are afraid to ask for what it is we truly want. Most of us, in fact, are prone to only asking for what we want when we think someone else wants it too.
That said, Dr. Gazipura is here to help. By outlining many of the subconscious patterns we’ve picked up throughout our lives, and underlining some of the flaws in those types of thinking, he teaches readers how to analyze their own sets of thinking to shift where they are now to where they could be soon. Again, by facing these parts of ourselves with love and affection, and by translating anger into assertiveness, we can begin to take control in our lives. There is confidence waiting just around the corner.
All in all, this book is about Power. It’s about finding the power to be the authority. It’s about believing in yourself the way Dr. Gazipura does throughout his book. It’s about learning how to speak up, ask for what you want, and live authentically so we may better connect with those around us. What he has found, and what readers ultimately find, is that they have been hiding themselves beneath a shroud of niceness and comfort. The only way to break through is to do just that, break through. Through the discomfort, disapproval, and fear. If we do so, we might not be able to recognize ourselves! We will become those who we admire. And that is as powerful as it gets.

This book feels like it has the power to change my life. I have struggled with every single issue defined in the book and to be given tools to help myself is beyond exciting! A definite read for the people pleaser that forgets to set his/her own wants and needs as a priority.

I’ve struggled with every single issue in the book, and it really helped me to put things into perspective. It helped a lot to learn more about myself and my relationship with friends and my ex-boyfriend. It gave me power to say no more decisively say no without feeling guilty all the time. It taught how to put up boundaries and protect them. Very helpful!

practicing being “not nice” would make you assertive and decisive while remaining kind.
