I was able to get our bank to reverse over $200 of what we considered inappropriate fees, using the technique I learned in this book. It was certainly a worthwhile read!!!
This book was one of my tools when I was searching for ways to be true to myself and not let myself by manipulated just because I was a gentle, thoughtful person. It helped me build up my sense of integrity and helped me to be more assertive with agressive and manipulative people. This book is a good tool to help one come into and keep their own power without giving it away to all the energy thieves out there who live off others.
Helps you to learn to say no!!!! I have!
No...look I said it!

My daughter made me post this book without reading it. She said that I did not need to read this book. (Her actual words were "YOU want to read a book about how to be ASSERTIVE? GIVE ME THAT BOOK!!!" and then she jerked it out of my hands.)
