    • No fluff, just the why its happening and strategies to stop it
Patrick King’s Art of Everyday Assertiveness was recommended to me along with a second book that I will be reading soon. It is an excellent, straight-to-the-point primer that can be digested relatively quickly. It has some very important and effective strategies for recognizing where one’s boundaries are currently, how various factors in our lives have led us to where we are, and the ways in which having poor personal boundaries can negatively impact every area of our lives. After identifying where we’re at, the book uses a straightforward approach to presenting strategies and using them in our day to day lives, as well as a one-month suggested timeline for executing a variety of activities to slowly build up our assertiveness and being aware of what we are doing through cognitive behavior therapy / exposure therapy. Little by little, one can reclaim their independence and freedom from the toxic takers in our lives by simply examining where we are at, and what we need to do to get to the next step of the freedom, respect, and assertiveness we all deserve from others. It sounds crazy, but I am seeing how my own behaviors have wrecked relationships of mine and in turn wrecked me, and I am not going to live like it any more thanks to regular therapy and King’s great book. Easy to read – can kill it in a couple of sittings, but I found myself dipping in and revisiting some parts quite often afterward. The book comes with an easy-to-use outline topic summary at the end. ... show more

    • This book conicide with my life.
The reason I gave the art of everyday assertiveness a five star rating, because I need to work on being assertive. Patrick king explain what assertive mean and how be assertive in everyday life. This book help me understand that I need to be more assertive and stop pleasing people all the time. I wrote down the personal bill of rights, he mentioned in the book and I'm going to read them everyday, so I can remember to use them in situations when i start trying to please people. The chapter he explains that it's ok to say no resonate with me because I have a issue with not saying no alot. He explains that you can say no without giving any reason and alot of people are afariad of saying no because it can start a mini confrontation. I am going to use the advice that Patrick king,explain that it ok to say no even if I'm scared it's going to start a mini confrontation. He aslo explain difference between being passive, aggression, passive aggression and assertive. He break down each one and give examples on how the outcome will be. It's better to be assertive in any situation because it boost your confidence and people will respect you more and if you get turned down or somebody says no to you, you better not pout. The latter was said in the book I like that because everyone is not going to say yes or agree with you all the time. Read this book if you want to be assertive or get a perspective on assertive. ... show more

    • Very good read and helpful techniques for becoming assertive
King makes some very good points and offers a 30 day plan to help you put his techniques into action. The book also has a summary section at the end that provides an overview of each chapter as a refresher after finishing the book. I've struggled with assertiveness all my life; this book puts into perspective the four different communication styles and why assertiveness is the best and most effective choice. I'm already seeing a difference in my life. ... show more

    • A must read; well worth the price.
I must have finished this book in about 3 nights and underlined so much of it. At the end of the day, YOU are all you have to look out for you. So one must be able to assert themselves so they are not walked over day in and day out. I highly recommend this for your collection. This book also breaks it down how to stand up for yourself and not be a jerk about it, when some people can over do it. ... show more

    • Amazing
I read this in 2 days. Couldn’t put it down. I’d found it on Amazon by searching “finding your voice” It was perfect. Full of so many great ideas. Very practical and helpful. Doable. After years of abuse, I am a passive communicator and people pleaser. It has taken a toll. I am ready for a change and this book is a great guide. Very grateful to the author and Amazon. Highly recommend. ... show more

    • it’s actually really good but.
It’s really good but personally i was looking for a book that is straight to the point as in each topic is direct, however this book has lots of examples used in it which i had to skim past by, and it shows a lot of “defining what this feeling is” compared to “solving this feeling” honestly. So if you want a even more dtraight to the point book , this isnt that straight to the point ... show more

    • Life Changing!
I usually don't write reviews on Amazon for books I've read, but this one has been so helpful. I read this a few months ago and it was like it was written with me in mind. Today I said no to a request from a family member without saying sorry/over explaining myself. If you are like me and you want to please/help everyone no matter the cost to yourself, read this and you'll learn that boundaries need to be established so that you do things on your own terms. This isn't a quote from the book but if this resonates with you, you should probably get this book- "Givers have to set limits because takers rarely do.- Irma Kurtz ... show more
