Stop being a pushover–it's time for you to be seen, be heard, and to get what you deserve.

Are you constantly considerate of others’ feelings, having made too many compromises in the past that have left you feeling unfulfilled and empty?

Your generosity and kindness are indeed a double-edged sword–they may feel like your weaknesses, but you need to realize that they are also two of your most admirable strengths.

Unlike what you may fear, being assertive isn't going to cause others any pain or hatred. It will instead create healthy boundaries through which you and your acquaintances can communicate more honestly and freely.

There's no reason to be held back by discomfort and fear anymore–with the right training, your timid nature will undoubtedly subside, making room for the assertive person you've always longed to be.

If you want to gain the respect and admiration of others for being who you truly are, start today—by listening to this book.
