Publisher's summary

If you want to discover how to stop being a people-pleaser and still be liked by others, then pay attention...

Are you sick and tired of feeling like you have to say yes to everyone's requests?

Do you finally want to be able to directly ask for what you want and feel good about it?

Have you tried endless other solutions to increase your assertiveness but nothing seems to work for more than a few weeks?

If so, then you’ve come to the right place.

You see, gaining respect, setting boundaries, and asking for what you want doesn’t have to be difficult.

Even if you’ve tried affirmations and subscribed to the power of positive thinking.

In fact, it’s easier than you think. And this book will show you how.

Here's just a tiny fraction of what you'll discover:

  • What it truly means to be assertive
  • 11 key qualities that come with appropriate assertive behavior
  • How to not come across as aggressive when being assertive
  • How to come across as assertive without saying a word
  • How to turn your thinking into that of an assertive person
  • Why saying “yes” every time someone asks for something can be destructive to your health
  • How assertiveness can promote healthy and equal relationships
  • Assertiveness for children, parents, and families
  • How to bring assertiveness into sexuality and intimacy to help both partners get what they want
  • How to use assertiveness effectively in the workplace
  • How to deal with criticism from others
  • How to know when it is the right time to be assertive in life
  • And much, much more!

Take a second to imagine how you’ll feel once you're no longer afraid to tell others “no” and how your family and friends will react when they see you grabbing life by the horns.

So if you want to learn how you can take back control of your life, scroll up and click the "buy" button!
