To byl jen vtip… - Průvodce moderní sebeobranou proti shazování, zesměšňování a manipulaci – Houdek Pavel (2025)

Do you experience jabs or inappropriate 'jokes', but only think of a witty response ten minutes later? Do you feel that certain situations bind you and force you to remain silent, even when you want to speak up? Do you sometimes feel that an invisible web of expectations and stereotypes holds you back? Then this book is just for you! You will learn how to defend yourself against verbal attacks and manipulation – practically, without fluff, and with humor. You will find out how to face situations where you are interrupted in meetings, your opinions are belittled, or you are led to believe that 'this isn't a problem'. Step by step, you will go through how to handle underestimation, belittling, undermining authority, and other common phenomena that stifle your self-confidence. And most importantly, you will learn how to reclaim your strength and voice. This book is not for those who resign themselves to the idea that 'that's just how it is'. It is a manual for everyone who wants to learn how to raise their voice. For everyone who wants a better future for themselves – and for society as a whole. Because bold actions begin with one thing: saying enough is enough.
