Good Intentions

With the poignant honesty of Robert Fulghum and the good sense of " Dear Abby", this practical guide shows effective ways to avoid being " too" nice and reclaim a satisfying and fulfilling life. Most people are raised to be " nice". But some just overdo it. They want to be perfect: always helpful, always available, never distinguishing between their own needs and those of others. Inside they're frustrated and unhappy. By analyzing the nine most common pitfalls, " Good Intentions" shows how the afflicted can liberate themselves from this damaging behavior, assert their own needs, and still remain the " good person" they've always wanted to be.
