    I revcieved the book within a reasonable timeframe, it was what I was after, there were one or two minor things wrong with it however nothing big.

    It would have been nice to know about the stickers on the cover before I bought it but they do not take away the content.

    This was actually the first book I read from Suzette Haden Elgin’s series of books on the art of verbal self-defense. Very enjoyable and compelling read.

    After discovering this book, naturally I also read her other books and was intrigued and continue to be intrigued by Emotional Intelligence and verbal self-defense techniques.

    Good info. It’s helpful to hear how to deal with others without getting into a fight if that’s what you want to do.

    This book is indispensable if you find yourself having to choose between being taken advantage of or being mean. It offers a perspective that allows one to identify verbal hostility and to respond to it in a way that preserves your own balance and can often lead to calming the entire situation and re-establishing connection. It’s funny, practical, full of useful examples and a good framework for thinking about hostile language.

    I found the messages in the book to be very useful, but the manner that it is communicated to be labored and somewhat academic. Thankfully the book is only 170 pages.
