I consider this a very valuable book for those of us who avoid going to the hairdresser because we never leave with the haircut we want; or those of us who end up being abused by folks concerning money, time or being of service to others. I did see my own behavior (taking too much of other peoples time) in one of the chapters, which gave me insight on how to change my own behavior so that I do that get on other people's nerves.

A good book providing ways for the reader to tactfully day no and make room to enjoy their own interests. The authors provide good examples of how and why a no is needed as well as follow up phrases if the no elicits a hostile response.
The book is divided into eight parts which begins with the power of no followed by the basics of no. The next two sections cover how to say no to lending money followed by saying no at work. While the later chapter was informative, I personally would’ve preferred ...more

Pretty good, some of the content though is not relevant for me.
It is a good book but it write and explain more than it needs.
Excellent, practical advice for people learning to honor their own boundaries.

Short and concise while still offering kind tips and examples.
Short and concise while still offering kind tips and examples.
A well written and absorbing book, with lots of tips and tricks you can easily implement in real life. It's not unreasonable to stick up for yourself and say no to all the leeches in life, and these folks will help you get there.
This book is not only full of examples of how to say no in all kinds of situations, it also offers you guidance on getting to the right attitude behind the word "no." The book changes your perspective on saying no by underscoring the importance of focusing on the things you want to say yes to: the more you say no to things that don't light your fire, the more room you have to say yes to the things that do.

A very quick read with some useful phrases. IT was good to find out that I am already using many of the tactics, but it's always good to hone the "no" skills. In fact, I was inspired to say no to finishing two items on my currently reading list because I really wasn't enjoying them, but felt obligated to finish them. I've never been good at not finishing a book, and the ones I don't like hang over my head causing me anxiety. Life is too short and the TBR list too long to read out of obligation.
الكتاب لا يثيري كثيرا علي معلوماتك ؛ الكثير من الاحيان نقول لا العفويه والمتعمده ؛ في النهايه يعتمد علي الشخصيه وصلة القرابه ومبادله العطاء بالاخذ ؛ فمن المستحيل ان لا يبخل عليك شخص وعندما يحتاج اليك ولظرف ما لا تستطيع وانت قادر لكن لسبب ما لا تريد ؛ في النهايه هي مسالة اخلاق والاسلام علمنا ان الرسول كان يستحي فا هذب الله الناس وافهم كيفيه قول لا ومتي بطريقة مباشره ؛
good one
Lots of good information! But, it was a bit dry to read. I am going to keep it on my shelf as a reference guide for sure!
no thing
فكرة مميزة فقط.. لا جديد آخر بين ثناياه.. قرائتي له قديمة منذ سنوات..
Very simple and straight forward. 4 stars because it communicates the message well.
I may need to go out and actually buy this book at some point. ;-)
