Nice guys often finish last. In this lecture, John Bradshaw exposes the hidden and frequently destructive forces behind the facade of being the "nice guy". Here, he explains how such behavior can destroy relationships and intimacy by never being honestly connected with others. Finally, Bradshaw offers practical insights into how listeners can learn to be kindly but firmly direct about how they feel, and find that place in their lives where they can be who they really are.
