Features: This book describes common difficult situations in women's work and discusses their causes and solutions, offering suggestions. The entire book consists of 16 chapters, broadly covering three aspects: First, dealing with issues related to oneself, including how to find one's own starting point in interpersonal interactions, how to understand and express one's needs, opinions, and emotions; Second, issues related to interactions with others, including how to criticize others and accept criticism, and how to use one's own power; Third, interactions with more abstract environments and cultures, including how to face inevitable gender and species discrimination. These three aspects are not entirely separate but are interconnected, with an emphasis on self-awareness throughout. Regardless of the situation, we must understand what our behavioral goals are, where our strengths lie, and what is within and beyond our control.
