End of the line

I've bought a copy of all of Sarah Knight's guides and sadly, this will be my last. This book just seems to be a rehash of previous books. I love her concept of using truth, spoken politely, to decline things you might otherwise feel uncomfortable declining. For me, she covered it pretty well in the first book, but if you're looking for a script to follow this book might be helpful.

Also, her narration, which originally felt slightly snarky but well meaning, has now devolved into more of a "you know me, I'm so very, very clever, and I've got the royalties to prove it!" tone.

I was disappointed.

Author has a problem with Trump supporters

Loved it until the author decided to alienate a portion of her readers with Trump comments. I purchased this book for personal development, not to hear snide, political remarks.

Sarah is totally full of herself

No thanks. We all have enough assholes in our lives. No need to pay to listen to one.

I got about 40% of the way through the audio, and once this chick introduced her political views – well, time to pull the plug. I don’t care what you think, Sarah. The script was marginal enough until I got to that point, but that just pushed me over the edge. I don’t recommend this book.

Boring!

My friend recommended this and what a joke! I cannot believe she is so popular and sold so many books. I was already not impressed with the writing and felt her reading was, how do I say...better than you attitude, so should not have come as a surprise she started in about Trump supporters and last thing I need is more of this mentality! Wish she didn’t get any of my support and will be sure to not listen or read anymore of her material, not that I’m sure she will care. It’s boring, nothing profound, and then political! Anyways, over it. Will not keep listening to this blah book.

LIFE CHANGING

I am a people pleaser and let me tell you this is exactly what I needed in my life! I have taken so many lessons and will continue to do so from now on! Thank you Sarah Knight for writing a book that was necessary to helping me learn to say no to things I shouldn’t, can’t, or don’t want too!!!

Great Info

I needed this book a long time ago even though I didn't think I did at the time. This is great for anyone who wants to take control of their life and time. Stop doing things dreadfully because you feel like you have to.

Should be required reading for grown ups...

I've read ALL of Sarah's books and have hosted her on my podcast. Getting a dose of Sarah Knight books should be a requirment for all adults! There is so much wisdom and honesty in Sarah's work and her story of leaving her 9 to 5 that was sucking the life out of her is beyond inspiring. And listening to her perform the books as well is just icing on the cake.
