Assert Yourself is that friendly nudge we all need to actually speak up—and not just in our heads! Brimming with practical steps, quick quizzes, and simple summaries, the book makes assertiveness feel totally doable, not scary. It’s like having a confident buddy guide you through awkward office moments and teach you the difference between being bold and being bossy. For social types who want actionable tips they can share over happy hour, it’s an easy, empowering pick.

Very general overview how to present yourself in a work environment. Not particularly impressive.
Dale Carnegies How to win friends ... Or Bob Burgs Art of persuasion are far more practical and eye opening. Not recommended.
