Publisher's summary

Symptom checklist for lack of assertiveness:

  • In situations where you want to say "no", you disagree or ask for something that you want.
  • You feel uncomfortable, awkward, tense, guilty, or rude.
  • You overexplain and apologize.
  • You end up agreeing to do something you don’t want to do and feel drained or used as a result.
  • People tend to pressure you, get confrontational, or punish you for denying their requests.

The good news is that you’re not alone.The bad news is that if you don’t learn to be assertive, you’ll always feel like a doormat, invite toxic people into your life, and compromise your needs for the sake of everyone else’s wants. If you want to easily learn how to be assertive, kind, calm, and considerate at the same time, have healthy relationships with others, and meet others’ needs without sacrificing your own well-being, you need this audiobook!

The Art of Everyday Assertiveness is not just another self-help guide that you’ll listen to and forget. The author will guide you through self-exploration to help you understand your current behavioral patterns and how they show up in your life. He’ll help you see how healthy assertiveness looks in real life, whether at work, in love, in family relations, and in other common situations. He’ll give you practical ways to start learning assertiveness in a way that doesn’t compromise your kindness and consideration for others.
