The Four Paths of Assertiveness

The Four Paths of Assertiveness is a highly accessible guide. The authors skillfully summarize decades of research and self-help to create a robust toolbox. I found it to be an easy read, with good advice and lots of tools to help anyone who wants to become more assertive.

At a time when we are expected to bare everything on social media and say yes to every opportunity, The Four Paths of Assertiveness is a much-needed instruction manual and permission slip for effective assertiveness.

This book covers a broad perspective on assertiveness, which is relevant and extremely helpful to readers seeking life satisfaction and well-being. By bringing together four areas of emotional growth, The Four Paths of Assertiveness shows readers how to be assertive with themselves as well as with others in a way no other book has done before.

In The Four Paths of Assertiveness, Scott Cooper and Naoki Yoshinaga have reinvigorated the notion of assertiveness by injecting findings from 50 years of research on happiness and providing a practical, easy-to-use road map for everyday life. In times when so many of us are feeling out of control, sad, and lonely, this book gives readers the tools to take charge of their lives.

The Four Paths of Assertiveness stands head and shoulders above most consumer health books. The book is scientifically rigorous while also being easily understood, fun, and emotionally compelling for readers.
