Asertivn do ivota Novk Tom (2012)

This practical guide to assertiveness addresses common communication impasses that complicate relationships at work, at school, in the family and with oneself. It explains how to say no without feeling guilty, ask for a favour, identify the limits of an acceptable compromise, resist manipulation, give criticism properly and accept it. Alongside an essential theoretical overview of assertive techniques and rights, this third edition offers tests and practical training programmes for developing assertive behaviour. The book aims to help readers set boundaries with the people they communicate with, understand their own motives and lead a confident, balanced life in a society free from manipulation.
