Publisher's summary

"No" is sometimes the hardest word to say. It's also the most necessary. How many times have you heard yourself saying yes to the wrong things - overwhelming requests, bad relationships, time-consuming obligations? How often have you wished you could summon the power to turn them down? This program will help you take back your power by showing that a well-placed "No" can not only save you time and trouble, it can save your life.

Drawing on their own stories as well as feedback from their fans and students, James Altucher and Claudia Azula Altucher clearly show that you have the right to say no: To anything that is hurting you. To standards that no longer serve you. To people who drain you of your creativity and expression. To beliefs that are not true to the real you. It's one thing to say no, the authors explain. It's another thing to have the Power of No. When you do, you will have a stronger sense of what is good for you and the people around you, and you will have a deeper understanding of who you are. And, ultimately, you'll be freed to say a truly powerful "Yes" in your life - one that opens the door to opportunities, abundance, and love.

Empowering

Enjoyed the narrators. At times fun and playful interactions between them. Some great additions to meditation techniques and simply finding some peace in your life. Many take aways from this book.

Refreshing Perspective

This book presents a very refreshing perspective on self value, and how to use 'No' in the context of life.

just as good the second time.

loved this. poignant and precise. I would recommend most of James' books and this is no exception

Quirky, but real and genuine. LOTS of good stuff

I first heard James Altucher speak at Podcast Movement Evolutions and found his delivery quirky, but he's funny and is a great motivator. So I loaded up on his books right away and have been barrelling through them. This one is my favorite and I really love all the exercises and tips. This is a book I will read over and over again when I need a kick in the ass.

It was okay.

I enjoyed the topic the authors were trying to convey, but I also feel like they veered off-topic sometimes or didn't explain things coherently.

Good

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Power of No?

The jokes James told. I like his sense of humor.

Have you listened to any of James Altucher and Claudia Azula Altucher ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No I haven't.
