The Assertivness Workbook by Randy J. Paterson is REALLY good!!! It goes into so much detail of how to be assertive, reasons behind why we are not assertive, and it gives lots of practice exercises in different scenarios. It also talks about confrontation and how to handle it much better than most of us do now!

There is a common misconception that anger management is only for people out of control or who are being "punished" for a crime and must complete a class as part of a disciplinary action. This fallacy could not be farther from the truth. Anger management is an umbrella term for a much larger category of education and training. While the media has commonly portrayed anger management as "dirty" or "punitive" it is actually a course that anyone could take to improve relationship skills.
