Much needed readNeeded this book a lot. Glad i got it and most of the things made much sense. Just neede to read it written somewhere. Hope i can follow the instructions.
Someone asks you for your time, attention, or money, and you respectfully decline the request.That's the whole content of this book. I am averse to most of the strategies the author is suggesting to follow.
I like the fact this book covers many different life situations where you can say NO and also remember to take care of your own priorities; however, it also sounds like a book of excuses, where you’re provided with many ways to justify your NO...you don’t need to justify or explain yourself all the time. In a nutshell, despite not agreeing a 100% with the author, reading this book helped me understand the act of saying NO from various perspectives and I appreciate that.
Genre: Self-HelpPublication Date: 2017We all have a people pleaser in us, on being asked to help, we don't even listen to the end of the sentence and may pop in with a 'yes', or in the worst case scenario, a 'maybe'.If you feel like thats you during any occasions, then you should definitely check this book out. It is all about the art of saying no. Saying 'no' not for confrontation, rather for the very purpose of reclaiming what we have been tossing around, our time, our energy, and our efforts....
It is indeed an art, the art of saying no. The author makes it look simple as he underlines the importance of this art in the beginning, " Saying no to people is one of the most important skills you can develop". It is an essential ingredient of a successful personality and through practice it can be developed. Damon provides an action plan for this purpose.
Meh. I got fed up and didn’t finish the last bit. This book should have been titled, “The art of explaining yourself to other people.” It covers 27 different excuses you can use instead of simply saying “no.”No. Just no. “Why not?” Because I said no! I’m not going to waste my time trying to convince you my answer is acceptable. You don’t have to approve of my decision, your only role here is to accept it and move on. It’s pretty simple, really. The one thing I did like was the suggestion to prov...
Informative I found a lot of truth in this book, things that helped me learn and grow as an individual. I recommend that you take time to learn these skills
After reading this book, I got some serious insight on my own personality traits.Being an occassional people pleaser, I want to come out of the cycle by politely refusing to people's needs.I also found that I have a high degree of FOMO, and I avoid conflicts with people. I am gonna put some of the strategies mentioned to make my and other people's lives better.
Quick read. Mostly common sense, but acts as a refresher on things you can do and approaches you can take
2.7 StarsMany of these chapters/section are repeat. For example, Part Two: Reasons We Struggle To Ssy No, the sections titled "We Desire To Help Others" and "We Want To Appear Valuable" are essentially the same.A lot of repetition. I suppose that is the point to drive the "lessons" home. Also, some of those scenarios and examples seem improbable.
NO
The ideas thrown in the book are generally fine, but don't offer anything groundbreaking or too interesting. It's your everyday self-helf book with a couple of nice points and a ton of accompanying filler to pad it into something that can be advertised and sold as an actual book. It can be handily just replaced with the following short summary, and nothing of substance will be lost, but you'll sure save yourself a lot of time: https://paminy.com/summary-of-summary...
Best part of the book is the 10 strategies for saying NO - without feeling a jerk And it's natural to everyone how we feel to say NO to family,friends, relatives, colleagues, strangers,,,, these are mentioned in one part..This is best book to learn the art of saying NO And to now how much it is important to say that,,Since it is all about just saying no then book is not needed but without hurting feelings of the opposite person to negotiate then it's must read for the strategies to overcome that...
