There is a difference between assertiveness and aggressiveness.  Assertiveness is important in both personal and business life.  This book lays out a self-evaluation and then identifies how to build a foundation for adopting and developing assertive behaviors.  Once the foundation is set, the book provides suggestions for putting those assertive traits into practice both in your personal and professional life.  It then provides guidelines for helping you teach your kids how to become assertive individuals.This book has a fabulous way of communicating how to identify your own passive behaviors and develop new, more assertive behaviors.  It uses thought-provoking questions and scenarios to further enforce the theories and practice suggested.  By following the instructions in the book, you will find that your mindset has changed, and you will be better able to communicate your wants and needs with confidence and learn how to handle the different relationships in your life.  There is no way you can read this book without having it positively affect your self-esteem and communication skills.I would definitely recommend this book, especially for those who have trouble communicating their ideas and needs to others.
