Summary

Do you say yes even if you want to say no?

Do you feel like you are a people pleaser?

Do you often give in to others at the expense of your own needs?

If you do, and you want to stop being “too nice,” then Assertiveness Training is for you.

Being able to communicate effectively is a critical skill for both professional success and personal relationships. The lack of being able to be assertive heavily impacts your ability for effective communication and can lead to feeling powerless and having low self-esteem.

The good news is that there's a simple solution. By understanding that people-pleasing is a habit and not a trait, you can start working on breaking this habit and replacing it with assertive habits.

This approach is detailed in Assertiveness Training: Stop People Pleasing, Feeling Guilty, and Caring for What Others Think, and Start Speaking Up, Saying No, and Being More Confident.

Amazon best-selling author, James W. Williams, provides a start-to-finish blueprint for bringing out your inner assertive self. He'll show you, step by step, how to overcome your tendency to people please, and how to go after what you want.

You'll receive more than 21 chapters with proven techniques for conquering your habit of being “too nice.” You'll also learn the reasons why you people please and why some people take advantage of people pleasers both consciously and unconsciously.

Assertiveness Training is for anyone who struggles with being “too nice.” Whether you're a student, corporate executive, stay-at-home parent, or an entrepreneur, the tactics described in this book can begin your personal transformation journey.

Grab your copy of Assertiveness Training today to finally conquer your inner people pleaser and start going after what you want!

A helpful place to start

I found this to be book well-structured, containing some helpful exercises and and tips. It appeared to be tailored to those at the very beginning of their journey to assertiveness, as it covers a lot of basics such as assessing your self-esteem and the importance of boundaries.

Not overly helpful for me

I personally didn’t find this book as helpful as I’d hoped. There was a lot of “how to say no,” and that’s not exactly what I was looking for. Also didn’t really enjoy the narrator.

Very helpful book - life changing for me.

As someone who is and has always been the epitome of a people pleaser, I identified with everything the author wrote. I'm going to re-read this often and try to recall these techniques whenever I'm put in these scenarios.
The narrator is excellent too. He has a very soothing and caring voice which made me feel like he was my personal coach (or shrink lol).
