Khor lays out the various benefits of being assertive and shows how to use assertiveness as a tool for communication. The book also delves into the assertiveness spectrum and its different behavioral labels, building the foundation for assertiveness, utilizing the tools of self-awareness and self-esteem, adopting a growth mindset, developing assertive communication skills, negotiation and compromise, overcoming the hurdles to practice daily assertiveness, and more.

Navigating With Nerve is the go-to book for learning to apply assertive strategies in leadership, work, and personal life and sustain them over time. Author Linton J. Khor has written a truly transformative book for improving interpersonal relationships and communication that will take you on the path to personal empowerment. What impressed me the most about this book is everything discussed here practically applies to everyday life, which isn't always the case with most self-help books. Khor also presents the content in a way that's accessible and easy to read and engage with. Toward the end, you will find references for further reading and different exercises and worksheets to help incorporate assertiveness into your day-to-day life.
