In general I'm skeptical of the self-help genre, but there are definitely some good books out there, and this is one of the best I've seen so far.

Maybe I need to get a copy of this before going to my family reunion this summer (sad that I need it for *that,* isn't it?!).

...useful to many people. Part of my business delves in team building. It seems that this book uses some tried and true techniques.

Thanks for the fine review.

I hate confrontation, so this book sounds like it provides just the right tools to enable someone to not scream/yell/have confrontations, but be assertive. Adding to my wish list!

Thanks!

Do you ever have trouble speaking up for yourself? Do you ever have to deal with difficult people? Do you ever get into shouting matches with co-workers, feel intimidated by your boss, feel flummoxed by bad service at a restaurant? Are you not sure how to disagree with someone without making them feel attacked? Do you have trouble handling criticism or asking for a promotion?

no.

glad yoo foun help sumwere.
