Customer Reviews

I really enjoyed this book

I liked it. It gives concrete tips on how to have your voice heard.

Out of the darkness

My biggest problem was my aggression,I never wanted to hurt people only to explain to them what I wanted...but I only knew how to do that by being aggressive .Now although I may not always be understood I am confident that I have expressed my self in a positive,assertive manner.I have gained confidence and am no longer a 'push over who is always available,self sacrificing a victim of the compassion trap.I found this book in a used bookstore ....this is a one time gem of a buy,it is an investment in me and I'm sorry but I never loan it to ANYONE.it is the one book I refer to at all times and would safely say that 'it saved my life'.I am back to square one without it.A must have for all women

A must-read book for all women

I found this book on my library shelf. I had read many others but this was the one that did it for me. I was able to see how destructive agressiveness is and how unecessary. It also helped me to see that my needs and ambitions are important and that I have a right to pursue them. I am now buying this book because it is something I feel I will always refer back to. Strongly recommended.

A life enhancing guide to being true to yourself and others

I was recently assigned this book as "home work" from the psychotherapist that I am seeing. I was reluctant but was told to read and re read this book. It has truly had a huge impact on my life as a successful career woman. It has taught me what "assertive" is, that it is NOT the same as aggressive, and also how to empower yourself as a woman to get what you want and to listen to your inner voice. It allows you to be true to yourself and others. I highly recommend this book
