The Art of Fair Self-Assertion offers a
practical, well-founded guide on how to unite
clarity,
respect, and
responsibility in daily interactions. This book is aimed at anyone who wants to strengthen their ability to
assert themselves-whether in
family,
professional, or
social contexts.
With clear
examples, hands-on exercises, and
straightforward explanations, the book demonstrates how
fair self-assertion can be applied across different areas of life. Readers will learn how to communicate their
needs respectfully and authentically, resolve
conflicts constructively, and strengthen
long-term relationships. A special focus is placed on the connection between
verbal,
paraverbal, and
nonverbal communication, which together allow for an
authentic, clear, and respectful message. The book shows how
words,
tone, and
body language can align to achieve fair self-assertion.
A particular emphasis is placed on current societal challenges such as
violence against women, bullying, sexual abuse, and
discrimination. Through realistic
personas-such as victims of
domestic violence,
workplace discrimination, or
school bullying-the book illustrates how
fair self-assertion can be used as a tool to
cope with
these difficult situations.
The book provides
concrete strategies to
set boundaries, seek support, and foster
respectful communication-verbally through
clear statements, paraverbally through a
confident tone, and nonverbally through
open, self-assured body language.
This book is ideal for individuals who want to navigate
personal and
professional challenges
confidently and ethically, while also contributing to a
more just and mindful society.
