A surprising and highly lucid take on assertivity. The author shows how all babies are born assertive, but that many of us unlearn this vital ability through upbringing and socialisation. He shows the vast and numerous problems that this causes. If you are among the many non-assertive people out there, it is essential to re-learn this ability and no longer feel guilty when you say "no".
The book contains a lot of transcripts of assertive dialogues. I found it a bit laborious to get through at times, but in fact it was a good thing, because it helped me to drill the assertive concepts into my brain again and again.
