It is difficult for you to refuse when you are approached with a request; you agree, and then you get irritated and angry with yourself and the whole world. You feel embarrassed when praised and upset when criticized. You, an adult, are still commanded by your parents (wife, mother-in-law). You are embarrassed to ask for a raise, although you are sure that you deserve it. Then this book is for you. The author, a famous American psychotherapist, has developed a system of methods and techniques that allow insecure, easily controlled people to insist on their own and achieve their goals in any circumstances. Each technique is described in detail and supported by specific examples from life. For psychologists, psychotherapists, as well as for everyone interested in psychology.
