Summary of Randy J. Paterson's The Assertiveness Workbook

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview:

#1 Assertiveness is about being there, not about building a good disguise. It is about developing the courage to take the disguise off and be yourself in a way that doesn’t push others off-stage.

#2 Assertiveness is all about being there. It is about exposing your flaws, irrational emotions, and strange preferences to others. It is not about forcing others to accept you, but about inviting them to accept you as well.

#3 If you are looking for a way to be more assertive, realize that you will have to put in the time and effort to change your behavior. It may be difficult, but it will be worth it in the long run.

#4 Record your practice sessions and play them back. Then you can evaluate your style. This is easier than trying to express yourself and evaluate your performance at the same time.
