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

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.

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

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

This book is an easy, straight forward ,educative Psychology book. I use it for personal use; group work , & individual psychotherapy work. The information in it , is as valied now as when I first discovered it in 1990's.
I recommend it for use as a reference book, to all who , either "work in the field", or just to have. There is also humour included.
