Are you sick and tired of people walking all over you, desperate to discover how to stand up for yourself? Or, are you frustrated with your regular outbursts and wish you could better control your emotions? If so, then keep reading.

You're stuck doing work you don't have time for, going to events you don't want to attend, and doing favours for people that you'd rather not do. No matter how hard you try, you always find yourself saying yes to things you wish you could say no to. Things never seem to go your way, and your opinions remain unheard. Or, maybe you find yourself lashing out in anger when you feel like nobody's seeing things from your perspective. You're tired of pushing people away from you with your temper, but you just don't know how to change your old habits. Sound familiar?

You're not alone. Being too passive, or too aggressive, is a common struggle in today's society.

And yet, there are people in your life who always speak their mind and get their way, while still having the respect and admiration of their peers. What's their secret? How do they do it? The answer is assertiveness.

Assertiveness, the foundation of this book, is about effectively communicating your needs and setting boundaries, while respecting the needs and boundaries of others. It's about finding the subtle balance between making your voice heard and giving others the space to voice their opinions. The Art of Assertiveness provides you with a detailed blueprint to help navigate the tricky waters of interpersonal relationships in both personal and professional environments.
