00:00 / 00:02

This book is an empowering guide for women who struggle with being assertive and setting boundaries. The author, Rebecca Reid, draws from her own experiences as well as research to explain why women are often socialized to be "nice" and accommodating, and why this can be detrimental to their personal and professional lives.


Through personal anecdotes and practical advice, Reid teaches readers how to be assertive without being aggressive, and how to set boundaries in their relationships and workplaces. She discusses the importance of saying "no" and standing up for oneself, and gives helpful tips on how to do so effectively.


One of the most refreshing aspects of this book is Reid's encouragement to be "rude," or assertive, when necessary. She emphasizes that women should not be afraid of being perceived as "difficult" or "unlikeable" when standing up for themselves, and provides strategies for dealing with negative reactions from others.


Overall, "The Power of Rude" is a must-read for any woman who struggles with setting boundaries and being assertive. It offers practical advice and a refreshing perspective on the importance of being assertive and unapologetically standing up for oneself.
