loving and living with respect

Who has never looked in the mirror trying to forgive himself for bowing his head or for not saying what he thought? Or did you have an inner struggle between indignation at the offense suffered and fear of facing it? Every time we are submissive, we take a heavy blow to our self-esteem. And, even if we manage to calm ourselves down for a while, this discomfort grows until it verges on unbearable. In 

The right to say no!, Walter Riso makes room for the discovery of self-respect, the personal ethics that separate the negotiable from the non-negotiable.

Bringing together the experience of more than twenty years in this subject, Riso is aimed at people who need to regain their dignity, working on self-esteem and assertiveness. By practicing assertive behavior, we become more secure, calmer when it comes to loving and more transparent in communication, learning to properly express what we think and what we feel.
