In Making Sense of Being Assertive, Mary Jane Warr dissects assertiveness to tell us what it really is and she explains exactly how and why it is our right to be assertive in our everyday lives. She shows us how to let assertiveness help us to become more honest and true to ourselves and others, to set our boundaries, and to unleash our personal power in a positive and socially acceptable way. It is our Absolute Right, as human beings, to be assertive; to find our own voice and to speak up and speak out. Assertion helps us to stand up for ourselves without the burdens of anxiety, tension or stress, and it helps us to express our thoughts and feelings so that they can be heard. Above all, it is the art of exercising our own rights without denying the rights of others.
