Welcome to Shrink for the Shy Guy.

This is the show for you if you are sick and tired of being held back by fear, self-doubt,

social anxiety, shyness, anything that's stopping you from you being you.

I'm going to share the most powerful tools and resources that I've been discovering over the last 15 years on my

journey to eradicate social anxiety and instill confidence, first in myself and then in every

single person that I meet on my journey. You're going to learn these tools and how to apply

them in your life now so that you can become the most free, powerful, bold, authentic version of you.

Hey, welcome today's episode of the show. Today we're going to be talking more about being less

nice, perhaps and maybe even being not nice. Now if you're listening to that,

there's a little party that's a little, I don't know, uncomfortable, uneasy with that.

You know, I don't want to be a jerk. I don't want to be an asshole. Well, I would suggest going

back and listening to the last maybe a couple episodes we did, which were all about nice.

And in fact, we talked about

what nice really is. The short version is it's rooted in fear, in people pleasing, in approval

seeking, in conflict avoidance, and basically authenticity avoidance. We hide who we really are, what we really think, and what we really feel

because we're afraid of any sort of upset or judgment in other people. This is the core of

nice. This is the root of nice. And hence the book is called Not Nice. And speaking of the book,

we've been building up to it. It is coming out next week. Yes, it's finally here

November 1st next Wednesday. And in fact, it'll be next week's show is the date that the book

comes out. It will be available for one day on Amazon Kindle for 99 cents.

Oh, yes.

So if you get your copy that day,
