Don’T be a Dick: Change Yourself, Change Your World

Why this book? Because you might be a dick: a mean spirited, self-obsessed, self-serving, uncaring individual who thinks and acts as though everyone else in the world can only be understood - and whose only importance is defined - in terms of their relationship to himself or herself. That’s right, herself. Because anatomical evidence aside, dicks can be women, too. The problem is, being a dick might feel powerful in the short term when you are throwing your weight around, but it is probably not helping you much in the long term, because this flawed character trait is exactly what is keeping you from attaining what you may want most: personal satisfaction, a steady job, a loving committed relationship or lifelong friendships. Anyone, at any time, can slip into being a dick - and many do. Yet DON’T BE A DICK is especially for people who have noticed that their own behaviour tends to backfire, leaving them feeling isolated or uncertain why their own, seemingly justified, behaviour consistently has such poor results. If you’re constantly using the refrain, It’s not me, it’s them, whenever something goes wrong, Mark Borg is here to tell you that it is, in fact, you. The good news is there is something you can do to reverse your behaviour and live a happier, more fulfilling life.
