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. And best of all, you'll discover how to get your friends, family members, bosses, coworkers, and neighbors to respect your boundaries and recognize your personal authority.

  • 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)

Good listen but could’ve used more depth

Great book that’s well worth listening for some general ideas. At times it felt more like listening to a blog post than a book, however, given the lack of depth concerning psychology and other supplementary resources. Still, it’s a cheap and fast listen. Can’t complain.

I learned a lot of new stuff

I thought I knew most of these techniques but I had no idea. And I realized that I was still letting people take over my life. I learned about how how to say no to even the most aggressive people.

Great for people pleasers.

Great for people who can't say no. Not so helpful for the advanced class of no-sayers. Very beginner level book. Some cool ideas for sure, but all of which could be summarized just as powerfully with a blog post or a 20 minute YouTube video.
