Book Preview:

#1 To be able to be assertive, it is important to first understand who you are and where you think you fit in the social hierarchy. Understanding these things is important because they affect your ability to communicate assertively.

#2 When you lack assertiveness, you do not live life on your own terms. Instead, you let others take advantage of you and run your life. Non-assertive adults don’t know how to say no, which overburdens their schedules and mental well-being.

#3 To be an assertive communicator, you must have a strong foundation of self-respect. If you don’t have a strong foundation, assertive communication will not work for you.

#4 The Bill of Rights of assertiveness, from Manuel J. Smith’s book When I Say No, I feel Guilty, is a set of rules that gives you internal fortitude and serves as a reminder that you are worthy of respect.
