I just finished reading the “The Book of No” by Dr. Susan Newman. It’s a very interesting read helping you understand how to say no to permanent requests from friends, family and coworkers. 250 case studies are presented with details on why and how to say no to it. No is not always an option, but it might help you have more time for yourself and “stop people-pleasing forever”. From the back cover:

“This book will free you. It is one of the most liberating, empowering, and practical topics I’ve seen… and Susan Newman does a masterful job bringing it home.” –Joseph Grenny, New York Times bestselling coauthor of Crucial Confrontations
“The skill of saying ‘no’ is essential for a life of freedom and dignity. Dr. Newman’s book, through a series of carefully analyzed examples, teaches that skill.” — Herbert Fensterheim, Ph.D., coauthor of Don’t Say Yes When You Want to Say No
Overscheduled? Overworked? Overburdened? Get the “No-How” you need to take back your life
Refusing someone is rarely easy and is often downright uncomfortable. But constantly giving in creates anxiety, anger, added stress, regret, and feelings of powerlessness.
Bestselling author Dr. Susan Newman helps you break your debilitating “yes” habit with her simple techniques, scenarios, and insights. Tackling family, friends, coworkers, and even pushy salespeople, The Book of No helps you

• Recognize when someone is manipulating you into saying “yes”
• Avoid being socially overcommitted, and put an end to feelings of resentment, anger, and guilt
• Get more enjoyment out of the time you make for friends and family
• Establish boundaries and be more focused and effective at work
