Self-help books are great and all, but can they really produce change in your life? Feedback from The Assertiveness Workbook's readers suggests that the answer is YES. Still, it can help to branch out, read along with others, and supplement your reading with practice and additional material. To that end, I've launched The Assertiveness Workbook Book Club, a FREE program to accompany the book. There's a short video for every chapter, amplifying specific points, illustrating ideas, and providing opportunities for you to practice what you've learned. Hey, when you were a kid you liked picture books. This program turns The Assertiveness Workbook into a MOTION picture book!
