About this listen
Why is one of the shortest words, "no", also one of the most difficult to say, and why is saying "yes" so much easier than saying "no"?
If you are one of the countless numbers of people who say yes when they really want to say no, or those that feel guilty saying no and find saying yes a whole lot easier, then this book is for you.
Inside this book, you will discover:
- The top telltale signs of a people pleaser and why if you are guilty of this, it's a habit that can be damaging for you and others
- Six quick tips aimed at helping you set healthy boundaries, taking the stress out of saying no
- The difference between a "good" and "bad" no (not all nos are the same)
- Tactics to help you transition your "yeses" into "nos"
- That there is no reason to feel guilty for saying no; a no to someone else is a yes to yourself
- 16 simple yet effective ways to say no without always using the word "no", whether this be to parents, partners, children, friends, or work colleagues
- Situations in which you should always say no
- And much more, written in an easy-to-understand style with plenty of examples
When No Just Rolls Off Your Tongue is for anyone who wants to learn some simple and easy ways to transform their yes' into nos without feeling guilty, stressed, or anxious. It helps you take your power back, making your yeses more meaningful both for you and those receiving them.

Story
While literacy is taken for granted in modern society, there’s another essential aspect of communication that is often overlooked: social intelligence. Without it, our personal and professional relationships suffer shallowness and often fizzle out. Networking, romance, and friendships are all incredibly challenging without a healthy level of social awareness. Unlike learning to read, however, many of us don’t become socially “literate” until far later in life; and even then, the journey towards true social intelligence is usually characterized by trial and error.

You might believe you’re thinking clearly in the moments that matter most. But in all likelihood, when the pressure is on, you won’t be thinking at all. And your subsequent actions will inevitably move you further from the results you ultimately seek—love, belonging, success, wealth, victory. According to Farnam Street founder Shane Parrish, we must get better at recognizing these opportunities for what they are, and deploying our cognitive ability in order to achieve the life we want.

The human mind, however evolved over time, always responds to the same principles. Neuroscience studies have begun to discover how thoughts are formed and how effective actions can be produced. In this audiobook, Dr. Tower explains these logical-emotional patterns and how to hack them to achieve winning effects.

Superman was sent away from his dying planet with no one to guide him as he grew up. Orphaned Catwoman was forced to steal food to survive on the streets of Gotham. What makes these superheroes super is their determination to not be defined by helplessness.

S.U.M.O. stands for Shut Up, Move On. It's a phrase to say to ourselves (and sometimes others) when we are acting or thinking in a way that is hindering our ability to succeed. It doesn't necessarily mean "get over it" or "pull yourself together" (although there may be occasions when both responses are necessary): "Shut Up" means stop what you're doing, take time out to reflect, let go of baggage and beliefs that hinder your potential; "Move On" means tomorrow can be different from today, look for new possibilities, don't just think about it, take action.

Blindsided by a breakup, and asking herself the usual why, how, what questions, Tatiana Jerome went online. She used social media as a way to uplift and empower herself by venting but also working through her own part in the relationship's demise. Her posts struck a chord with thousands and then hundreds of thousands of readers - no surprise since most relationships (approximately 85 percent) end.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

A good reminder for all of us
While there's nothing wrong with being a "people pleaser," if that becomes your raison d'etre, then you're not living your own life--you're living for the approval of others. I like the way this audiobook showed the negative side of people pleasing (when done to a fault)--not just for the people pleaser--but also for those subject to the people pleaser's actions and behaviors. There have been times when I've said yes when what I really wanted to say was no, and it's usually been a disaster for everyone. But I'm learning. A few years back, a rather intrusive backyard neighbor tried to enter my yard with her hand spade "I just want to get at some weeds that are growing between our fence." "No," I said. "I'll take care of them." She was taken aback that I actually said no. She tried to tell me she would only be a minute and I remained firm and she left. My next-door neighbor, having witnessed this, looked at me with her eyes wide. "If only I had done that 20 years ago when she started coming into my yard."

Invaluable for a people pleaser and business owner
I own a small business and have had problems with setting boundaries and being taken advantage of. This book has given me some helpful ways of thinking how I can say 'No' in a positive way so that I can actually offer a better service to my clients.

A must-read for the “good guys”!
It feels like the book is talking directly to you! The author reveals how we tend to compromise ourselves completely just to be in the good graces of others and how these tendencies actually harm us in the long run. This book gives detailed, colorful examples and scenarios of very common situations that many of us have encountered. This is a must-read for those who want to take steps toward beneficial change by saying no.
