Online Nice Guy Recovery Courses
Nice Guy University
A self-paced course platform for men ready to break approval addiction, end covert contracts, build boundaries, and date from standards instead of scarcity.
Built by Michael Zick, Certified Nice Guy Recovery Coach trained by Dr. Robert Glover.
Why NGU
Structured recovery work you can start now.
Nice Guy University exists for the gap between knowing the pattern and changing it. The platform turns Michael's coaching frameworks into courses you can revisit, practice, and apply in real relationships.
Self-paced lessons
Move through structured course material on your schedule, then return to the lessons when the pattern shows up again.
Applied exercises
Journal prompts and practical field work turn insight into new behavior, not another round of passive consumption.
Coach-led frameworks
The course library is built around the same recovery work Michael teaches in coaching: truth, standards, boundaries, and internal authority.
Secure enrollment
Nice Guy University handles learner accounts, enrollments, course progress, and Stripe-powered checkout.
Course Library
Start where the pattern is loudest.
The NGU course catalog covers the recurring Nice Guy loops: approval addiction, self-limiting beliefs with women, conflict avoidance, cognitive distortions, weak boundaries, and relationship frame.

- 01
Confront toxic shame
Stop organizing your life around being acceptable and start telling the truth about what you want, avoid, and resent.
- 02
Release the victim identity
Shift from waiting for people to change first into owning the decisions, standards, and tolerances shaping your life.
- 03
Build masculine boundaries
Set limits that protect your time, energy, and relationships without disappearing, exploding, or bargaining for approval.
