When I Say No, I Feel Guilty By Manuel J. Smith

I haven't read the book yet so this is not a content review, however the book is tiny and the text is very crammed and the print quality is quite poor.

Los van de inhoud van het boek (gedateerd, maar dat is te verwachten omdat het een oud boek is) vind ik dat in deze druk de letters wel erg gepropt zijn op de pagina. Dat leest niet lekker.

This is my second copy as the one I had originally (bought many years ago at a retail store) was gifted to a friend. This is excellent for people who suffer low self esteem. The author has used American terminology a lot which can be difficult for Indians to understand or in worse cases misunderstand. Apart from this, the author is a mental health professional, so the vocabulary used is mostly psychiatry related so you need to keep Google handy thorough out.

Good to read

Read this back in the 70s and used the techniques evr since. Lost original 20 years ago and needed a refresher

Very helpful way of looking at root causes of lack of assertiveness coupled with insightful, simple to understand and easy to practice techniques to combat this failing and deal successfully with manipulative characters in everyday situations. Well worth the money because it offers a life changing and life affirming set of learnable techniques that in my opinion definitely work and are proven to do so. For all this it is also a very fun and pleasant read. A must have reference book for the genuine and kind amongst us to have in our armour. Highly Recommend.
