5.0 out of 5 stars more than good book
This is the most motivational book I have ever read so far and also more than useful. One of the most interesting points is the 10 commandments of the assertive person. There is also so much good guidance on how anyone can learn to cope in a positive way so that they cannot be argumentative or aggressive. This approach not only fosters healthier relationships but also encourages personal growth and self-confidence. By applying these principles, readers can transform their interactions and create a more harmonious environment both at work and in their personal lives.I could it more than 5/5
5.0 out of 5 stars An Extremely Useful Book!
Judy Murphy has succeeded! I read this book as I was looking for some ways to explain to my tween child that he needs to be more assertive, rather than more aggressive. Kids (older) these days are being bullied beyond what anyone really knows. I have made it my business to teach my kids assertiveness, saying no, etc. Not only did I find exactly what I was looking for, I found that there are ideas that I can use in my own life.This book is a wonderful for people of any age, from children up to senior citizens. I shared some ideas from the book with friends and some older relatives who are known to let people "walk" on them because they don't know how to say "NO" when they don't want to do something, and they liked what they heard and were interested in reading more.There are examples for many situations that one wouldn't even consider as an area where assertiveness should be used. For example, this book teaches you how to be assertive in order to earn respect and be treated like you want (deserve) to be treated, to improve intimate and working relationships, and even how to handle rude or unacceptable customer service issues.The section on how to raise assertive chi ldren was especially helpful to me as I continue to show my children that not everyone in the world is aggressive and one does not have to be aggressive to get where they want to be in life. My kids and I were reading parts from the book together, and they deemed it useful for many situations.This book is a must read! Everyone can take something from it and use it in their day-to-day life in order to be assertive.
4.0 out of 5 stars Useful information
This book was super thorough, going over things like body language and eye contact, communication, and action plans to become a more assertive person. I actually really liked all the info in it, especially the self assessments and quizzes. Those made it a lot more personal to me, and helped me realize I may actually come across more passive in some situations and more aggressive in others, and how I can course correct to be more assertive. I found the book pretty dense and a little impersonal at times, but maybe that's just a style preference. Would've loved pictures or diagrams! Very good though.
5.0 out of 5 stars A guiding light for finding my voice
Throughout my life I grappled with a crippling inability to speak up for myself. No matter how hard I tried fear and self-doubt always held me back and I let people walk over me not because I wanted them to but because I didn't know how to stop them. That was until I discovered this book which has been a guiding light.The book begins by talking about the root cause of passivity and inability to assert. As I was reading I felt a profound sense of validation. The compassionate approach to addressing the emotional barriers that shackled me for so long made me realize that my struggle was not uncommon. Each chapter gently peeled back layers of insecurities that I was the only one experiencing this, giving me the courage to confront the challenges head on.As someone who always struggled to say "no" and set boundaries, these chapters were particularly empowering. Armed with assertive tools, I slowly began to express my needs and respectfully decline requests that overwhelmed me. The transformation was profound - no longer did I feel like a doormat but a person deserving of respect and consideration.Another area that intimidated me was managing conflicts, the book taught me how to navigate difficult conversations with poise and empathy, transforming conflicts into opportunities for growth and understanding. I found myself better equipped to express myself and advocate for my needs even in confrontational situations.For someone who always felt inadequate and unsure of themselves, the concept of buidlging confidence was a revelation. The exercises for cultivating a positive self-image and embracing my strengths allowed me to step into situations with newfound assurance. I slowly began to shed my fear of judgement and rejection and allowed my authentic self to shine through. The sense of empowerment that came was unparalleled and became a catalyst for further personal growth.For years my inner dialogue was filled with self-doubt and negative thoughts, making it nearly impossible to even entertain the thought of standing up for myself. The practical exercises and self-reflective questions challenged the negative internal dialogue that had dominated my thoughts. I learned to replace self-criticism with affirmations of worth and empowerment which became a cornerstone of my journey because it laid the groundwork for everything else.What sets everything apart was the practical approach to putting assertiveness into practice. It offers real-life scenarios and role-playing exercises to apply the principles I learned to real-world situations. These hands-on exercises were instrumental in building my confidence and refining my skills.I have learned that assertiveness is not about being aggressive or confrontational but about confidently expressing my needs and standing up for what I believe in while respecting others. The profound impact of this newfound ability has extended far beyond my interpersonal relationships, I has permeated every aspect of my life empowering me to navigate challenges with resilience and grace.
5.0 out of 5 stars made me feel more deserving
I did not come into this book with much expectations. For the price, I thought that I’d give it a shot. This book did not disappoint. It provided very clear set of instructions on how to be assertive and get more out of interactions and relationships.I especially liked the discussion on the bill of rights of assertiveness. It sets a strong baseline for how you should be treated. It helps eradicate the excuses that make assertiveness difficult to achieve. I use these as affirmations which I repeat to myself daily. This alone has been a huge help.One of the area’s I’m struggling with is dealing with my parents. Not only are they a pain, but they are at an age where I’m stepping in to take care of them. There is a very valuable discussion to help me manage them as well as get my siblings more involved.For somebody like myself, who has had long standing issues with assertiveness, this book does a good job of making me feel better about myself, my self-worth, and empowers me to stand-up for who I am and what I deserve.

I really wish I had this book earlier in my life, when I had no clue about boundaries.I found this book well-structured, and thus, very effective. In the beginning, the author explains the boundaries and the difference between self-confidence and arrogance. There is also a quiz to help figuring out the key problems and the area of work.The rest of the book has practical exercises aiming to increase the level of assertiveness among the readers. I found the exercises useful in multiple ways. I strongly recommend it to everyone struggling with high level of responsibility.
