Reader comments
This book provides many practical ways to confidently advocate for yourself when needed. Like The Art of Communication, it also emphasizes the importance of effective communication. Moreover, the ideas in the book are very enlightening. For example, the rule of "be careful of falling into a trap" reminds me of the battle of wits between Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". I think this book is not only suitable for boys, but also for everyone who wants to learn to express themselves better.
