Many years ago I was a volunteer with St John Ambulance (sja) and we would provide first aid cover at many events including the local theater. One evening I received a call asking if I was free and could get to the local theater asap as no-one had turned up. I rang a friend who was also in sja and asked her to get ready and come as well. We had no idea what the show was we were about to see. I suppose the thing about an autobiography is that if you don't like the protagonist, you're almost guaranteed to not like how the story is told. One of the core needs of nice guys is validation. They will seek validation through whatever means necessary. To break away from the Mr. nice guy syndrome, you need to learn to do things without the main goal of getting validation. This can be achieved by starting to do things for yourself. For instance, you can start doing things alone without posting on social media. This allows you to be present at the moment without worrying about what people will think or how many likes your pictures will get. How to start saying no But deep down, Howard Marks just comes across a generally nice guy, a guy who knows what he wants and isn’t afraid to try and do it. I wouldn’t recommend following him in his chosen career path, but if you bump into him at a pub then be sure to buy him a pint.Nice guys feel guilty for putting their interests before those of others. If you find yourself offering thousands of apologies for failing to do a favor for someone, you need to stop. Part of being nice means caring for your well-being by not being available for favors. Learn to be unapologetic about putting your needs first, even when confronted by a strong sense to please people. Stopping the ‘give to get’ mentality Brooks, Xan. "Human Traffic". BFI.

Well the show was Mr Nice Live!!! That night was a real eye opener to me. Mr Nice was talking about his life and everything that had happened in it, all about his Cannabis and other drug smuggling exploits, sometimes getting away with it and others getting caught, plus he did a general question and answer sessions at the end. (The theater was green by the end of the night and smelt very funky as Mr Nice was smoking lots of "very long cigarettes"!!!) Time Out London gave the film four out of five stars, although it noted that the film was not without flaws: "The film adaptation of Howard Marks' autobiography – a student staple throughout the land – struggles to capture the sheer breadth of Marks' life." "Rather than riotous picaresque, the result is more like a meandering shaggy dog story." [11] Eddy, Paul; Walden, Sara (1991). Hunting Marco Polo. Boston: Little, Brown and Company. ISBN 0-316-21056-0.
