A wasted investment
I thought that by actually reading this book, I could be a more assertive person. Unfortunately, all the information in the book did very little to improve me. All this book did was give examples of when and where to be assertive but did very little on HOW to be assertive. By reading this book, you get theoritical knowledge not the practical knowledge which is really what you want to get out of this book.

Gain The Attention of Others!
I read the author's previous book on managing stress, so I decided to take a chance on this one. I like it because it starts with a basic assumption - that it's harder and harder to get the attention of others because everyone else has so much competing for their attention - and builds upon that. I think the chapters are laid out in logical fashion. Some of the chapters didn't apply to me at all, so I just skipped them, but there's a lot else in the book that does apply, and so I thought it was worth while.

tells you how and when to be assertive
If you are already good at asserting yourself then maybe you wouldn't need this book. Most people I think do need this book because there are so many circumstances in life, not just at work, but also with relatives, out in your community, or wherever where not speaking up at the right time and in the right way has its costs. I recommend this book because it offers many, many insights on how and when to assert yourself and even when not to assert yourself. Similar Products
