[Top 3 Episodes Ever]: Why You Should Stop Being Nice, Ep. 929

Published: May 15, 2023, 9 a.m.

This week during the great hiatus of 2023 (for this podcast, anyway, although if there\u2019s something you can take a break from, I support you!), I\u2019m replaying the three episodes with the most listens. Today\u2019s is from the last week of 2021, when my friend Terri Trespicio, author of the book Unfollow Your Passion, was my co-host for the week and shared several anti-resolutions for the year ahead.\xa0\nThis was far and away the most popular anti-resolution\u2013and was, in fact, the most popular episode I\u2019ve ever released.\xa0\nIt is: Stop Being Nice.\xa0\nDespite the fact that women have been socialized to be nice above all else, it's not actually a very noble goal. Does that mean you should go out and let your a-hole flag fly? Or become outright mean? Goodness, no. It just means you set your sights on something different--something that takes a lot less energy than being nice AND that gives you more energy, because it's gratifying.\nThis episode sponsored by:\xa0\nNextEVO \u2013 Use promo code BETTER to save 20% off your order of $40 or more\nLearn more about your ad choices.
