Product Description
Don't Be Nice, Be Real! is a lively, light approach to a deadly serious subject-our lives. It combines humor, radical wisdom, and new culture spirituality to teach the mechanics and spirit of Nonviolent Compassionate Communication to cure "Niceitis," a hereditary disease. The author has shown that nonviolent communication works wonders, in even the roughest of situations. He's used it with street gangs in San Diego, combined groups of Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland, Palestinians and Israelis in the Middle East, and among the Croats, Serbs, and Muslims of the Balkans during the Bosnian war. PTA meetings, business conflicts and marital custody battles call all be utterly transformed by these techniques.This book takes us from behind the wall of culturally conditioned niceness, providing us with the tools we need for self-responsible, non-judgmental, clear and conscious honesty.

The title of this book says it all!,
By Gina Eldred (San Diego) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Don't Be Nice, Be Real: Balancing Passion for Self with Compassion for Others (Paperback)
I rarely like self help books nor am I willing to read them from cover to cover, but this book is a an exception. The book expands upon the theme proposed in the title. It is about being honest and real and really brave. The book was very stimulating and offered a new perspective on deepening communication and intimacy with others and more importantly with myself. It starts where other books on co-dependency begin. A fun and stimulating read.

This review is from: Don't Be Nice, Be Real: Balancing Passion for Self with Compassion for Others (Paperback)
The principals presented in this book have changed my way of relating to people. My loved ones have noticed, and the rewards to me of practicing this way of being have been profound. All this from a small book, that just took a few hours to read. Wow!

I loved Kelly Bryson's book. The book is informative and funny. I saw myself in his explanantions and examples of "nice." I'm now aware of another mind-set I could use to truely express myself. Life-changing. This is for me!
