{"product_id":"onbeingnice","title":"On Being Nice","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book  from The School of Life explores a sometimes forgotten quality - just being nice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost books that want to change us seek to make us richer or thinner. This book wants to help us to be nicer: that is, less irritable, more patient, readier to listen, warmer, less prickly. Niceness may not have the immediate allure of money or fame, but it is a hugely important quality nevertheless and one that we neglect at our peril.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a guidebook to the uncharted landscape of niceness, gently leading us around the key themes of this forgotten quality. We learn how to be charitable, how to forgive, how to be natural, and how to reassure. We learn that niceness is compatible with strength and is no indicator of naivety. Niceness deserves to be rediscovered as one of the highest of all human achievements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eChapters include:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy We Don't Really Want to be Nice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoliteness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLosers and Tragic Heroes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat is the Purpose of Friendship?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to Overcome Shyness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy Flirting Matters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to Be a Good Listener\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Charm of Vulnerability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e123 pages\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e12.5 x 18.5 cm\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"School of Life","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44073804051,"sku":"9780995573642","price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0834\/0231\/products\/onbeingnice.png?v=1730745753","url":"https:\/\/www.paper-smiths.mom\/products\/onbeingnice","provider":"Papersmiths","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
