Amazon best-selling author Damon Zahariades provides a step-by-step, strategic guide for setting boundaries and developing the assertiveness you need to maintain them. You'll learn how to say no in every situation, at home and in the workplace, according to your convictions.

  • My personal struggle with being a people pleaser (and how I overcame the habit!)
  • The top 11 reasons we tend to say yes, when we know we should say no
  • 10 simple strategies for turning people down with finesse
  • Why saying no to people doesn't make you a bad person (the opposite is true!)
  • The best way to develop the habit of setting personal and professional boundaries
  • How to know whether you're a people pleaser (and how to gauge the severity of the problem)

I like the direct and logical delivery. the author applies his logic and planning to everyday scenarios, instead of just telling you what you should do or shouting snappy one liners. it was a very good and systematic way of laying out ways to say NO. would reccomend to push overs and guilt trippers alike.

Informative

Didn’t hear anything “new,” but as someone who grew up in a codependent family, it was validating to hear all the things i know to be true that i get gaslit for. But I’ve done a lot of therapy. If you haven’t reached this point in your life and still feel “obligated” to others, this is probably a must read.

As a recovering people pleaser, I routinely found myself sacrificing time, money, and energy to help anyone who’d ask.
Fact was, everyone knew me as a welcome mat, and had little respect.
In standing up for myself with tact, I’ve regained control of my life and schedule, keeping those real friends around who knew I could do it.
I also recommend Never Split the Difference, by Chris Voss, and The Go-Giver series, by Bob Burg.
These books have been invaluable to me, as a real estate agent and recipient of multiple awkward offers.

Wonderful.
