Assertiveness for Earth Angels

I am excited to share with you Doreen Virtue’s latest book, Assertiveness for Earth Angels (Hay House, 11/2013).  Doreen is extremely passionate about this topic and book- which took her many years to write for that very reason.  In this groundbreaking book, Doreen Virtue teaches Earth Angels – extremely sweet people who care more about others’ happiness than their own – how to maintain their inner peace and loving nature while at the same time holding boundaries. Doreen shares tips on how to overcome fears about saying no, and how to ask for what you want from those around you and from the universe.

“…I discovered that there’s a vast difference between being “nice” and being “loving.” I had lived my life as a “nice girl,” covering up my feelings to protect others, and sugarcoating what I said to avoid conflict. “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all” was my philosophy. I respected authority without question, and stuffed down my feelings. Then those pent-up feelings would become unbearable and I’d either confront the person who triggered them or leave the relationship.

I thought I was being nice.

I wasn’t.

I was being fearful, which is the opposite of love.”

-Doreen Virtue, Assertiveness for Earth Angels

Assertiveness for Earth Angels is for anyone who wants to learn the art of speaking up in relationships and in their activism about issues related to the world. Whether you need more assertiveness with your family, on the job, or in your healing work, you’ll appreciate Doreen’s gentle-but-firm approach to negotiating your earthly needs in heavenly ways!
