When I Say No, I Feel Guilty: How to Cope--Using the Skills of Systematic Assertive Therapy by Manuel J. Smith

3.0

I found chapters 1-8 to be very helpful and informative. Reading this book has really helped me noticed how people can try to manipulate you into doing things you don't want to.

However, I found the rest of the book to be repetitive. I'd recommend familiarizing yourself with the assertive rights section and the chapters on methods you can use to assert yourself. The rest of the book is just filler.

And like many other reviewers have pointed out, the author is very misogynistic. If the book didn't have so much helpful information on it I'd never recommend it.
