Description
Don’t Say Yes When You Want to Say No by Herbert Fensterheim, Ph.D., and Jean Baer is a pioneering self-help book that empowers readers to develop assertiveness and take control of their lives. First published in 1975, it remains a foundational guide for anyone seeking to overcome people-pleasing tendencies and establish healthy personal boundaries.
This book introduces a practical, step-by-step approach to assertiveness training, helping readers:
-
Recognize situations where they feel compelled to say “yes” against their true desires.
-
Understand the psychological and social factors that contribute to passive behavior.
-
Learn techniques to express themselves confidently and respectfully.
-
Apply assertiveness skills in various contexts, including work, relationships, and family dynamics.
By addressing the root causes of non-assertive behavior, such as fear of rejection or conflict, the authors provide tools to help individuals communicate their needs effectively without guilt or aggression.
