I tried everything to become assertive, but before I discovered this book, nothing taught me this ability, it will work for you too, if you commit to it, it's so much harder than it seems but that's just because you need it so bad. You will be amazed how you you will become a different person when you intigrate this material, it works.
I bought this book to help my daughter who has used it to learn how to stand up to a difficult boss. A great book, well presented and really helpful.
Perhaps "niceness" is a variation in the assertiveness training world. I read this book after reading Too Nice for Your Own Good. I found this book to be very informative and seemingly comprehensive, but didn't hit on topics I related to. I didn't do the work, because I didn't buy into the premises for each topic. I do believe that there is a market for this book, though, and that this book will be very good for that market.
This book is a great tool and really does help. You have to do the work as prescribed or you really will just waste your time. Realistically though simply reading a book couldn't possibly change a person without actually acting on the information. If you need help in this area get the book and use it, it is very helpful.
I'd assume it would work equally as well for a passive or passive-agressive person looking to become more assertive as well. Great resource. I tend to be overly aggressive, and read this to help me tone it down and just be assertive instead. Contains lots of information on related behaviors, even gives some tips on controlling your breathing to calm you down in stressful situations that can lead to less than ideal responses on your behalf. Some chapters were irrelevant to my needs so I just skipped through them, but I'm sure they'd be useful to some.
