Publisher's Summary

Are you too nice?

If you find it hard to be assertive, directly ask for what you want, or say "no" to others, then you just might be suffering from too much niceness.

In this controversial book, world-renowned confidence expert, Dr. Aziz Gazipura, takes an incisive look at the concept of nice. Through his typical style, Dr. Aziz uses engaging stories, humor, and disarming vulnerability to cut through the nice conditioning and liberate the most bold, expressive, authentic version of you.

You'll discover how to:

  • Easily say "no" when you want to and need to
  • Confidently and effectively ask for what you want
  • Speak up more freely in all your relationships
  • Eliminate feelings of guilt, anxiety, and worry about what others will think

Life Changing!

I have read countless of self help books but this one takes the cake. Absolutely life changing. It has helped me to understand so much about myself and I can relate to everything in it 100%. The author, Aziz is so genuine and passionate about helping people and I loved hearing his stories about how he has transformed his life through learning to be not nice. So many amazing tips to help work through and grow. Absolute must read for anyone who is too nice!!

So good it made me buy the physical book

Dr Aziz is truly unique - he is so humble and endearing and such a supportive and warm voice for those looking to break out of the cage in their own minds. Highly recommended! 5 stars

Very helpful and practical, but too self-promoting

This is amazingly relevant for all people-pleasers, with revelatory and life-changing insights. I intentionally listened to this over several months to allow me to process and adopt the suggestions.
It’s humorous and deep, even with the occasional self-promotion, so well worth a listen.

Repetitive, long, cringe

At first I couldnt believe this book was 14hours when most of the audiobooks Ive listened to have been under 6 hours at least. I came across this after listening to How to do the work which referred to this book.

My main grievance is that despite being a trained psychologist, Aziz provides evidence based on anecdotes and personal experience. There is no clinical research.

You will hear Aziz waffle on about his family- and have self indulgent praise for his goal of turning everyone into not nice people. I think the fact he read the book himself says alot. I have a problem with this as Ive found the candid tone annoying and childish. Other books ive listened to are far more enjoyable as they are professionally read and I dont have to be distracted by an author imitating an Australian accent (seriously, why?)

The self promotion of his other material is too much throughout. I checked out the website and saw ‘confidence university’, which just reminded me of snake oil ayahuasca sipping pick up artists. You have 14 hours and you still cant fit enough in?


When I heard the word NLP, my eyes rolled. Its an embarrassing book. Hopefully there are others that actually tackle issues of boundaries properly.
