This book deserves a better review than the ones posted so far. It has not gone through nine revisions for nothing. That's normally an indication that the authors are experts in their field who have been at it for a very long time and are constantly updating their recommendations based on clinical experience and research. Which is true in this case. This is well-known as an authoritative text on assertiveness training by evidence-based practitioners but it's written as a self-help book so that therapists can issue it to clients and it can be used by the public straight from the shelf. It's head and shoulders above many of the other books that abound, largely because of the wealth of experience that's gone into writing it. The authors are highly-regarded experts in this specific field. If you go to the US Amazon site and look at reviews of previous editions you'll probably get a more balanced picture of the book's appeal than from the handful of reviews posted here so far.

I think that the previous review was a little bit exaggerated maybe for personal reasons. This is a very good step-by-step guide to achieve assertiveness. You must note that teaching by example, this book does NOT advertise with an aggressive way; I-will-change-your-life-in-24-hours. Instead it provides you the ideas and the tools to become assertive and win-win everyday conflicts.

This book is supposed to cover assertive training which it does to a certain degree but I am afraid it concentrated far more on the cultural differences of different races and basically, kept stating how whites should be considerate towards other races when involved in confrontation etc., but not vice versa - perhaps if these writers had been subjected to over 50 racial attacks by non-whites they would re-consider their content - very disappointing and frustrating...
