A psychology guide for those who confuse being a good person with ceasing to be oneself, not provoking conflict, not disobeying, or always meeting the expectations of others.
The world is full of good people, but some of them learn to be so good and obedient, perfect and idealistic, that they suffer greatly when they do not live up to expectations. They remain good children even as they grow older.Their biggest fear is that they feel unable to stop being nice, disobeying orders, or causing conflicts. They are burdened by not meeting others' expectations, and fear of rejection overwhelms them. These people practice “false kindness,” a series of obedient and kind behaviors out of fear, deep down, of disapproval from others.In this book, Xavier Goix provides us with a valuable overview. It analyzes the concept of “bad kindness,” its origins, and its consequences. It also stresses the importance of healing our wounds, and guides us toward change through practical steps to overcome it in our daily lives.
