Amazing as always

Loved every word, this is one of my favorite anti gurus . I wholeheartedly recommend it for anyone trying to improve their life.

Helpful

So I am not a person who has a hard time saying no but I still found that this book helped me. While listening to this I did realize that there are times I say yes even when I don't want to. So even if you do know how to say know this is still a good book to listen to as you may realize that you do say yes when you don't want to. This book gives you tips on how to say know and how to do it in may different situations.

A Great Book!

F*ck No is a great addition to the Sarah Knight’s collection. It has definitely been one of my favorites.

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!!!

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.

Good Stuff

I ordinarily stay away from female authors for they have a tendency to be (for me) too touchy-feely, too long-winded, use too many adjectives, etc. However, I appreciate this author's raw, straight-to-the-point style of writing, particularly her use of vulgar language, which makes it a down-to-earth experience. And yes, I am aware of the irony - the number of adjectives I used in this review, but it is a review.

F***ing Awesome

The "Anti-Guru" does it again! Sarah Knight's helpful, entertaining, and practical advice is delivered in a puntastic way. Learning to say no has never been so doable and fun.

Enjoyed listening

These pointers & advice really helps & will definitely implement them. I have always been a people pleaser because of my good hearted nature & now can start implementing these tactics for future references, thanks!!

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.

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.
