The Gentle Art of Verbal Self-Defense at Work Review: This is a self-help or workbook; some effort is required. - Never loan out tools or books with the intention of getting them back. But jumping right in. This isn't the usual coffee table, easy reading on a nice afternoon type of book. As my headline suggests, it's a workbook that requires effort, or exercise. In other words, you have to put what was read into practice. Your test, so to speak, is when you go out and talk to people. Especially in a work environment. After reading this, you'll be surprised at how often barbs or slights are thrown your way. Whether it's malicious or not, obvious or subtle, is important. How you address them is also important. This book serves as a guide on how to recognize and how to best respond to a "verbal attack", whether it's overt or subtle. The way this book is organized, it's very easy to immediately jump to a chapter that most applies to your specific situation, but I'd recommend against doing that without reading the entire book. It is a "lesson" book at the end of the day, and you'd be missing a lot of foundational information. With that being said, good luck. Review: How to communicate without being bullied or sucked into stupid arguments. Really works! - Amazing book.... how to communicate and be politely assertive and not get bullied or sucked into arguments. The author has several books in the series, all the same message with various examples and situations. Her sci fi writing is excellent too, worth checking out if you are so inclined. It does take some practice to actually make the techniques work. Worth it! I also recommend Peacetalk 101, sadly out of print. Transformative book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #186,863 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #77 in Public Speaking Reference #313 in Self-Help & Psychology Humor #494 in Communication Skills | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (342) | | Dimensions | 5.98 x 0.98 x 9.02 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 0735200890 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0735200890 | | Item Weight | 13 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 340 pages | | Publication date | January 19, 2000 | | Publisher | Prentice Hall | ## Images ![The Gentle Art of Verbal Self-Defense at Work - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71CPHkyky1L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a self-help or workbook; some effort is required. *by M***C on November 17, 2023* Never loan out tools or books with the intention of getting them back.

Really works! *by H***R on August 23, 2017* Amazing book.... how to communicate and be politely assertive and not get bullied or sucked into arguments. The author has several books in the series, all the same message with various examples and situations. Her sci fi writing is excellent too, worth checking out if you are so inclined. It does take some practice to actually make the techniques work. Worth it! I also recommend Peacetalk 101, sadly out of print. Transformative book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommended *by R***Y on January 18, 2019* Pros: Fantastic skills and framework Helps you to look beyond specific words to read intentions Creates an understanding of responding to a person's intentions rather than words/questions Brings a toolset to shy people or those that are often blindsided by remarks of others Cons: Some of the examples are difficult to follow Some of the examples don't completely explain her points Reading is a bit dry Verdict: Someone recommended me this book years ago because I am constantly needing to be on the defense as a disabled person. People say the most awful things in public to me and this book equipped me to deal with that and many other scenarios. I've passed it on a few times too! ## Frequently Bought Together - The Gentle Art of Verbal Self Defense at Work - William Morrow Verbal Judo: The Gentle Art of Persuasion --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/8725774-the-gentle-art-of-verbal-self-defense-at-work](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/8725774-the-gentle-art-of-verbal-self-defense-at-work) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-11-15*
