Summary: To Change your life for the better order this book today.
Review: I can't recommend this book enough. If you want to be able to take control of your life, say no, express your feelings, state what you want but have never been able to. If you always played the "good little" woman role as you felt that is what you ought to do and then felt really bad after. This book teaches you and shows you how your feelings and desires are valid. How to express them without being seen to be aggressive and also that in order to gain respect you have to respect yourself. I finished this book a couple of weeks ago and started putting into practice what I learnt from day one. I feel 100% better about myself and have also noticed the change in attidudes of those around me. Every woman should read this.

Summary: Overall best timeless classic!
Review: I first "did" this book many years ago, when I had no self-esteem at all and was known for being aggressive & dominant, not to mention manipulative. How else did women get anything?I was amazed with this book, I did all the quizzes which were extremely enlightening & helpful, I made notes in the margins & wrote all over it, carrying it around like a bible, literally referring to it in some situations. It took less than 6 months to totally change my entire life--because of this book! It is that powerful! It helped me get out of abusive relationships, to break the self-destructive patterns, and to like myself. Over the years I became ill with chronic invisible pain & diaseases that destroyed my self-esteem once again, I had somehow forgotten all I had learned. So I just bought a new copy & it is still the best how-to book on assertiveness I've ever used. Every woman owes it to herself to at least read this book, even if you don't see yourself in it, you might see a friend or family member that you can pass it on to.

Summary: Antiquated
Review: I was so looking forward to reading "How to be an Assertive (Not Aggressive..." However, as I started the book I felt I was back in the 70's. Women have come along way, and yes, we still have a long way to go if we choose to be "accepted" into a "mans world". This book is out dated.

Summary: The Assertive Woman / A New Look / Second Edition 1989
Review: This book has taught me to "Believe" in myself as a woman, who had low self esteem But,more importantly it has taught me to be compassionate and understanding and not overbearing.I can being assertive,commpassionate yet dignified and To some that would be an art. Contrary to believe "not all woman are self absorbed" It has taught me, that you can uphold your dignity and not be overbearing. So, on the whole It was a great book that I would recommend to any woman who has any problems with communicating. I am surely over 13 and let me be asertive with you I resent your impication that my comments are that of only a 13 year old !It may "not" be what your "saying" but it what your suggesting ?I am a 44 yr. old woman who has come along way in life and refused to be labeled as one who does not have her "stuff" together
