Gaining Confidence in Yourself

We lose a lot in our lives due to insecurity and passivity, believing that everyone around should share our feelings and know how to relate to us. But aggression and manipulation of others are even worse. The main thing is to learn to confidently and clearly explain to others what you want and do not want. This is what will help you become an assertive person.
The ability to assert and defend your position is what this book teaches. To behave positively and at the same time persistently, to be in harmony with yourself and the surrounding world, to respect yourself and other people - these skills are probably needed by everyone. And they can and should be mastered.
Does it happen that you say "yes" when you would like to say "no"? Do you agree to things that you do not like just to avoid conflict? Do you suffer and hesitate before making a decision? Do you regret having made it? Would you like to answer negatively to all these questions? Would you like to express your desires calmly and openly? To respond confidently to demands and criticism?
With this book, you can do that. You will learn how to get rid of fear, gain confidence in yourself, and turn your life in the direction you want.
This book will teach you how to change your behavior and become the master of your fate, how to start living life to the fullest and be happy. Manage your life, live the way you want!
The book is intended for a wide audience of readers.
"This book is nice to hold: matte yellowish paper, wide margins, lots of free space - it makes reading easier. It is written in the best traditions of American popular psychology: very simply and clearly, with examples, conclusions, recommendations. The authors contrast "assertiveness" - an open, direct, honest style of communication - with more common, but much less effective and sometimes dangerous alternatives: aggressive (disregarding the interests of others), passive (betraying one's own interests), and aggressive-passive (achieving one's goals through manipulation)".
