With the recently distorted version and the perceptions of nice people in our post-modern world, I tackle how being nice has become a disadvantage to most people.
The concept of being a nice person is slowly but surely reverting to its original meanings and perceptions. The word “nice” originally comes from the Latin word nescius, meaning ignorant or unaware. Over the last centuries, it kept on changing its meaning. In the old French, in the 12th century, the word meant careless, weak, clumsy, foolish, or stupid. In recent years, the word and its perceptions have slowly been reverting to these types of meanings.
The old-age saying that goes “nice guys finish last” has never been truer.
This book addresses this phenomenon in great detail and provides an antidote for those who are tired of being nice to those who never reciprocate, those who are fed up with being taken advantage of, those who are always helpful but never receive the help when they need it, and those that are just tired of always finishing last.
It contains real-life examples along with research evidence that proves that being a nice guy or generally being considered a nice person may have more negative effects than positives in an individual.
