Most people can be assertive in some situations, and yet not
be effectual in others. The Real Solution Assertiveness Workbook
expands the number of situations in which a person can choose to
be assertive. When a person is passive, opportunities are lost
and unpleasant situations are tolerated. In time, bad feelings
can build to a point where one more event can trigger an explosion
of resentment that in turn provokes criticism or rejection.
