In this week's FRIDAY FIELD NOTES, Ryan Michler explores the pivotal role of assertiveness in men's lives, discussing how embracing this quality can lead to a more fulfilling and commanding existence. He addresses the spectrum of communication styles – passive, aggressive, and passive-aggressive – and unpack why assertiveness stands out as the most effective approach. Ryan also introduces five transformative daily exercises designed to steer men away from less effective communication habits and towards a more confident and direct way of expressing their desires.
