This is a great book to learn about aggressiveness, assertiveness, and passiveness. It goes over the definitions and differences of each to help you better understand the importance of assertiveness. Steven also talks about the body language that is an addition to your tone. Near the end of the book, he explains the importance of children learning this lesson at a young age to help them develop who they are and to be able to help themselves when difficult situations arise.
Raymond did another good job with this narration. His tone was uplifting, helpful, and kept my attention throughout the whole book.
*I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
