Insightful
An interesting perspective on the differences between aggressiveness and assertiveness, as well as the passive style of communication. Worth a few hours of your time.

A decent book
It is a decent book to listen/read. This book had a few thing's that will help many people, but I would recommend that the book needs more examples of assertiveness in it. I recommend it.

Some tricks and a good exercise plan at the end
Otherwise it’s just meh. Not much information. There’s a long piece on what to do when your friends are using you which can be shortened to „just say not today amigo”
