Publisher's Synopsis
Ode to Violence for the overly nice invites you to take the gloves off and slap down a lot of prejudices. This book explores how kind people, often prisoners of their kindness, can rebalance their gentleness with assertive strength. Too often, excessive kindness leads to exhaustion, frustration and unbalanced relationships. The author proposes to redefine violence as a constructive energy, a capacity to set limits, to say "no" and to confront conflicts respectfully.
Through key concepts such as the balance between strength and gentleness, assertiveness and the art of managing tension, the book shows that true kindness does not mean accepting everything. It invites readers to combine benevolence and power to live in harmony with their values while earning respect.
By developing "armed kindness", readers can transform their lives, create authentic relationships and regain control of their existence. This book is an ode to balance, an invitation to be gentle, strong and fully yourself.
