9 Practical Lessons From the Book “The Art of Saying NO”
Most of us were raised to believe that saying no is rude and egocentric.
This belief becomes a significant part of our value system.
The First Step
You’re about to learn the unhealthy reasons you dread saying no.
Recognizing them – some are less obvious than others – is the first step toward freeing yourself from the fallacious belief that saying no is mean, cold-hearted, or selfish.
We want to avoid Offending People
People often take offense at things that aren’t intended to give offense.
An example is hearing the word “no” after they ask for someone’s help.
We want to avoid seeeming Selfish
Most of us care how others perceive us. We want to be thought of as good, caring, helpful individuals.
