How many times do we say 'yes' when we would rather say 'No'? Why do we submit to unbecoming situations and abusive people when we can avoid them? Why do we stay quiet when we should be talking and why do we feel guilty when we exert our rights? In this illuminating book, the cognitive therapist Walter Riso reminds us that respect for one's self is one of the most precious traits of a human being. It is, also, a fundamental factor to guard our psychological health and our spiritual wellbeing. When someone is treated in an unjust manner, when their dignity is trampled on or humiliated, they usually react in a submissive or aggressive manner. The author invites us to consider a third option; assertiveness. This last one is the individual's capacity exercise and defend his personal rights in a decisive manner without yielding to or reacting with violence to the other.
