 MANUEL J. SMITH, Ph.D.

Preface

 Our prime assertive human right-how other people violate it

 How we are manipulated into doing what others want.

 ASSERTIVE RIGHT I: YOU have the right to judge your own behavior, thoughts, and emotions, and to take the responsibility for their initiation and consequences upon yourself.

 How we can stop being manipulated by other people.  The manipulator's basic tool: external structure. Need there be rules to cover every situation?

 Three ways to simplify how you look at your relationship with anyone else: commercial, authority, and equal interactions.  Is being assertive immoral or illegal?

ASSERTIVE RIGHT II: You have the right to offer no reasons or excuses for justifying your behavior.

ASSERTIVE RIGHT III: You have the right to judge if you are responsible for finding solutions to other people's problems.

Assertive Right V: You have the right to make mistakes--and be responsible for them.

Assertive Right VI: You have the right to say, 'I don't know."

Assertive Right VII: You have the right to be independent of the goodwill of others before coping with them.

Assertive Right VIII: You have the right to be illogical in making decisions.
