Synopsis

Bitchier than ever!

The perennial bestseller (over 95,000 copies sold) revised and updated.

Have you ever said "yes" when you meant "no"? Wanted to give someone a piece
of your mind and eaten a piece of cake instead? How about the whole cake?

If you're nodding in agreement at this point, you may be suffering from
Toxic Niceness, a condition that will only be stopped by getting in touch
with that integral, powerful part of each of us which is going unrecognized.

It's the Inner Bitch. Don't even pretend you don't know what I'm talking
about.

The Inner Bitch is the Bette Davis in each of us, walking around with a
cigarette in one hand, a martini in the other, calling a dump a dump. The
Inner Bitch calls it as she sees it.

This is the end of Toxic Niceness as we know it.

About this title

Review:

I read this book on the way to my last job interview. And I got the job. Now, I'm not saying that I was successful by being a bitch, but being in touch with my needs and goals was certainly a help. This humorous look at why women don't get what they need and want uses cartoons by Nicole Hollander (Sylvia) to illustrate strategies for "getting over toxic niceness" and saying what you really mean. Perhaps the world would be a nicer place if we all stopped fretting over the "B" word.

From the Back Cover:

Your Inner Bitch is that integral, powerful part of you that is going unrecognized.
--Have you ever said ?yes? when you meant ?no??
--Have you ever wanted to give someone a piece of your mind and eaten a piece of cake instead (or even the whole cake)?
--Have you ever apologized when it wasn't your fault?
If you?re nodding in agreement at this point, you may be suffering from Toxic Niceness, a condition that will only be stopped by getting in touch with your Inner Bitch, your own personal antidote to the torrent of absurd requests, ridiculous expectations and outrageous demands we all face every day.
Being in touch with your Inner Bitch means never having to say, ?I don?t know what came over me.? The Inner Bitch is the part of ourselves that is smart, confident, dignified, knows what she wants and does not settle for less. The Inner Bitch calls it as she sees it and isn't afraid to speak her mind.
Your Inner Bitch awaits you...
