Parts Interesting, Parts Laughable
I found this to be a peculiar book that didn’t quite line up with the book description, which almost makes it feel as though the book will answer (and solve) many questions in life. Spoiler alert: It won’t! The first part of the book compares and contrasts 4 ways of being: passive, aggressive, passive-aggressive, and assertive. There was one long questionnaire in this section (along with a 2-question short questionnaire) that is supposed to help a man figure out his place on the spectrum. But the book gives the reader no way to analyze the answers, so the questionnaire seemed pointless. After this initial section, the book swerved into core values but didn’t make the connection between that and assertiveness. Parts of the book were laughable. The author portrays these four ways as if they were absolutes, no shades of gray or the concept of a spectrum. Life, and people, aren’t like that. The final chapter, though, was what perhaps amused me the most as it was so overblown. Basically, according to the author, if you get this assertiveness thing right, all of life will fall into place… you’ll be a winner, loved by all, be a great communicator, and have perfect relationships. Ummm, I don’t think so!
I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.
