Gael Lindenfield - Assert Yourself - Simple Steps to Build Your Confidence

Assertiveness Training has proved itself to be so much more than a therapy for ‘losers’. It is now an established method of teaching anyone to communicate more openly, honestly and calmly and to stand up for both their and other people’s basic human rights.

Another reason for its appeal to me is that at its core is the win/win principle. This may not be one that can, or indeed should, always guide our behaviour, but when it does it undoubtedly brings both inner and outer harmony. And who doesn’t need a little more of that in their lives today?!

Finally, I’d just like to add that the writing of this book was a triumph for my own fledgling assertiveness. I had grown up with a deeply held conviction that I was an exceedingly bad writer. Assertiveness Training instilled in me a new belief that I had a right to say what I wanted to say. It was this belief that inspired and motivated me to persist, however many dyslexic errors I committed to the page, and however long it took me to do! Two years after I started, we published the book ourselves, and my husband travelled the country taking its first few hundred copies to bookshops himself. When this supply ran out, a client of mine asked my permission to take it to a small publisher of ‘alternative’ books. Now, 18 years later, I have 10 best-selling books to my name, and my publishers, Thorsons, are widely acknowledged to be leaders in one of the fastest growing sectors of the book trade.

I hope this updated version of Assert Yourself will help you to make the changes in yourself and your life that you know you want and deserve.
