if it weren't for OTHER people is the title of the book I am reading. I am half way through and I have found it a thought provoking book. I realize human nature tends to make us manipulative when we feel it will serve our purpose. We learn what works for us at a young age and we use it to our advantage. This book attempts at helping you to become more assertive to not allow others to manipulate you. Many of us have never learned to be assertive. We try to avoid confrontation that makes us uncomfortable, when we should face it and make healthy choices for ourselves.
We need to commit to the belief that each person has a right to be treated respectfully.
There are nice ways of letting people know that their behavior to you is unacceptable. It should include both praise and negative feedback.
Start taking control of how other people treat you.
everyone except Hitler ;)
