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.
As Jack Canfuekd said, "This book is the bible on how to say no and still be seen as a nice person. It can change your life forever."
I did not give it top rating because the authors are sometimes unkind to the folks with negative attributes at the expense of trying to be funny. Their remarks were, indeed, funny, but in a way that made me feel guilty (which is what the book is trying to not make you feel).

More focused on scripts for saying no versus how to decide when to say no; some scripts were useful and some were corny af. Worth reading!

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 ؛

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 a chapter in saying no to co-workers in situations when that want you to do a task that is assigned to them.
Sections five and six cover saying no to invitations, dates and romantic entanglements followed by sayin no to family and friends. The chapter regarding family and friends was extremely helpful since this is a situation I deal with on a semi regular basis.
The final two sections focus on saying no to kids and to high maintenance people. Some of the tools mentioned in the chapter regarding kids can be modified for when interacting with adults especially the concepts of being consistent, tell don’t ask, don’t be afraid to repeat yourself and expect cooperation. The follow up chapter on high maintenance people refer to how to interact with narcissists, big talkers, interrupters and hypochondriacs.
I enjoyed this book as the wealth of information that the authors provide. Although some chapters weren’t relavant to me, all of the examples provided can be used immediately after reading the book.

Read for: You CAN reclaim your personal space
Not for: Subtle and graceful ways to say no � so many of the suggestions in the book are rude, that a more appropriate title might be “How to say no by being rude�

Only need to read the title to be honest

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.

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.

I may need to go out and actually buy this book at some point. ;-)

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!

Damn! If only someone had pressed this book into my hands by like... age 12. I'd be a completely different person.

Book started of well with a couple good ideas but lead into the promotion of telling a lie to say no followed by a rant about volunteering or giving to others at which point I stopped reading

I read this book almost 10 years ago, when I was in high school.
I didn’t think much of it. However, the lessons from it are still with me till this day.
So definitely worth 4 stars.
