One-dimensional application of generic therapy

Revisado: 02-25-23

I'm glad that many men have been helped by this work. And if your psycho-emotional wounding exactly matches the author's experience, then you may benefit from it as well. It is a formulaic, cookie-cutter method for a very specific type of man. Nice Guy Syndrome is the result of A-B-C happening in your childhood, leading to you act out X-Y-Z as an adult; if you take steps 1-2-3, etc., then you too can become the author's rather narrow definition of a masculine man. He further tells you repeatedly that thinking you're different from other men is a falsehood that holds you back.

It's just not a very nuanced approach. It may help some men break free of a disempowering pattern, but it doesn't allow for more expansive self-examination. Additionally, the exercises prescribed are pretty generic questions that anyone on a personal growth journey should consider, regardless of what their sex or gender is, regardless of what their particular issues may be. That he tries to package them in a way that suggests they are for this specific population and "syndrome" feels gimmicky and victimy.

Valuable content, but for me, unlistenable.

I first encountered the author's work through an online summit and was further inspired to seek more of her offerings. While I enjoy her live interviews, in this narrative format her constant interrogative inflection was too much for me to follow. Of course we all uptalk at times, but when 80% of a speaker's declarative sentences sound like questions, I just tune out. It's a personal preference; when someone is sharing advice or information I need to hear them speak with conviction and assertiveness. I will be returning the audiobook and giving the Kindle version a try.
