Are you among the many, many people who struggle to say "No"? Do you often say "Yes" even when you mean "No" — just to maintain harmony and avoid conflict at all costs?If so, you're likely familiar with the steep price of this behavior: steadily sinking self-esteem, increasing overload from imposed extra tasks, and an ever more desperate situation. And rather than improving relationships with loved ones, this constant "Yes"-saying actually makes them worse.

In trying to please everyone, not only do you neglect yourself, but you also lose something crucial: respect!Every "Yes" that should have been a "No" paves a path that — in the worst-case scenario — can even lead to burnout and depression. While psychotherapy can help find a way out and, among other things, teach how to say "No" when you mean it, it doesn't have to reach that point! Because a clear, kind, diplomatic "No" is really not rocket science.

This book, in 22 chapters as informative as they are entertaining, outlines a wealth of psychotherapeutic principles, tools, and exercises that will gradually pave the way to a healthy "No. " It shows how, by strengthening your own boundaries, you can not only protect your self-esteem and reduce your burden but also build more authentic and respectful relationships.
