This is among the best Assertiveness Training Tools that I have ever read. I Enoyed the technical aspects, roll-play and various scenarios that depicted the common, passive-aggresssive behavior that I've sometimes spotted in myself. I appreciate my own tendancy to think before I speek, but books, such as this are helping me to embrace my genuine emotions and assert myself in a more forth-coming manner...SMILE!!!

All-new edition of the most widely recommended assertiveness training book helps readers develop more effective self-expression with detailed procedures, examples, stories and exercises. The ninth edition has been completely revised and updated to include new material on assertive expression in email and social networks, what to do when assertiveness doesn't work, anger expression, persistence, treatments for social anxiety, giving and receiving criticism, facial expression research, social show more intelligence, personal boundaries, components of assertive behavior, recent brain research. Not another "me-first" book -- It's all about equal-relationship assertiveness. show less

Excellent help book for people who have a problem with assertiveness (for whatever reason). It can be extremely frustrating when you aren't assertive, even if you don't show it on the outside.
