Too often, we allow ourselves to be manipulated by others or feel guilty when we say no to something. This book helps us strengthen our self-confidence and assert ourselves better. Through a practical and simple training program, we learn to develop our own willpower, make decisions confidently and steadfastly, pursue our goals, and free ourselves from manipulation and influence by others. With numerous case studies and exercises, the author imparts the linguistic skills that enable us to handle everyday situations more effectively.
