Chapters include: It's Not What You Say, It's How You Say It ; There's Nothing To Be Afraid Of; Anger Is Not a Four-Letter Word; Must We Put Up With Put-Downs?; Assertive Intimacy; Assertiveness Works at Work, Too; Dealing With Difficult People; Deciding When to Be Assertive; Helping Others Deal With the New Assertive You.
