A Proven Plan for Getting What You Want in Love, Sex and Life
Robert Glover
In 'No More Mr. Nice Guy', Dr. Robert Glover provides a roadmap for men to break free from the thought patterns and behaviors associated with 'Nice Guy Syndrome'. The book helps men understand how their childhood experiences and societal pressures can lead to chronic people-pleasing, passive-aggression, and dishonesty. Glover offers practical advice and exercises to help men reclaim their personal power, set boundaries, handle conflict, and develop satisfying relationships. The book emphasizes the importance of self-acceptance, authenticity, and prioritizing one's own needs to achieve success in various aspects of life.
If you want a loving, committed relationship, you may be undermining that by having no-love, no-commitment FWB relationships. You may have been conditioned to believe that filling your time with meaningless s*x was OK, until magically, the love of your life comes along -- that you could just ditch the empty relationship at that time, and happiness would follow. In this 4-video compilation, I share some of my most popular videos about the ways past trauma (and especially neglect in childhood) can leave you feeling ashamed and exhausted when it comes to needing love. Learn how to stop accepting crumbs and discover the powerful change that can take place immediately, making it possible for real love to find you at last.
