In this episode I get the opportunity to interview Dr. Robert Glover, author of No More Mr. Nice Guy.
One of the more popular series thus far has been the series on the Nice Guy.
Since most of the material for the Nice Guy posts has come from Dr. Glover’s work, it was great to talk to him more about the Nice Guy world.
Hope you enjoy!
Interesting….none of the characteristics described by Glover struck me as particularly “male” or even “new male.” I think authenticity, directness, ownership etc are all pretty gender neutral. I most agreed with him when he stated what he teaches are really skills for being an ADULT. A woman is usually given the exact same prescription in therapy that Glover is proposing: put the oxygen mask on yourself first (ie meet your own needs), be direct about what you want/expect from others, be honest, stand up for yourself, find outlets with friends, etc. I don’t take this to mean we’re advising women to act like men, do you? Let’s all just be grownups.
