Story
For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Industries disappear, job descriptions change, and people's interests and passions evolve. The key to riding this wave, entrepreneur James Altucher advises, is to constantly be curious about what's next, to be comfortable with uncertainty so you can keep navigating the rough waters ahead, and most importantly, to pursue the things that interest you.

The first thing Sophia Amoruso sold online wasn’t fashion - it was a stolen book. She spent her teens hitchhiking, committing petty theft, and dumpster diving. By twenty-two, she had resigned herself to employment, but was still broke, directionless, and working a mediocre day job she’d taken for the health insurance. It was there that Sophia decided to start selling vintage clothes on eBay. Eight years later, she is the founder, CEO, and creative director of Nasty Gal, a $100 million plus online fashion retailer with more than 350 employees.

Find your "critical 20%" and transform your time - and life - forever!

In this thought-provoking and highly informative program, Richard Koch unveils the secrets to how this mysterious but practical principle actually works... how it is affecting your life right now... and how you can start using it to your advantage.

"Believing that something is wrong with us is a deep and tenacious suffering," says Tara Brach at the start of this illuminating book. This suffering emerges in crippling self-judgments and conflicts in our relationships, in addictions and perfectionism, in loneliness and overwork - all the forces that keep our lives constricted and unfulfilled. Radical Acceptance offers a path to freedom, including the day-to-day practical guidance developed over Dr. Brach's 20 years of work with therapy clients and Buddhist students.

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.

Some really bad advice...
James, Claudia and their audio technician chatter about some faux mixture of Oriental thought/meditation and daily life with little to no comprehension of theoretical foundations. Several times I stopped and thought, "WOW! That's a really bad suggestion!" Don't think of your life in thirty years...you might be dead. They allowed some of their headphone banter to get into the recording, I guess they felt that it enhanced the experience, but in reality it just exposes them as shot from the hip types who don't really know where they are going, but they will eventually get there.
If you are going to journey through this life with a philosophy that philosophy needs to take you from womb to tomb. If it can't look thirty years down the line then it can't look thirty minutes.
It was an interesting listen with some original perspectives, but the authors come across as just winging it which defeats the purpose of sharing it in audio/book format.

100% self-absorbed
This book is weird. And it's one of a kind. One of a kind in the sense that I couldn't listen to more than an hour or so, before giving up. In retrospect, I can't believe it took me that long to realise how useless this book would be to me.
The book is weird, in that the authors, who are a couple (as suggested by their last name Altucher) reads it themselves. Fine and fair enough, but they really stretch that format, by talking on top of each other. Suddenly having her voice interrupt, or vice versa, after one person talking solo for maybe 15 minutes; feels weird. As if you're in your friends living room, been there for a few hours, and suddenly you realise his partner was also home, sleeping under the sofa. Yes, weird example, but this book IS weird - and you get the idea.
This book is also mindlessly boring and full of anecdotes that few other people than the authors themselves can get excited about. I'm all for transparency and authenticity, but in this book, it's feels like being at a wedding, positioned between two guests, who also happen to be a couple ("The Altucher's" also know as "The MeMeMe's") that can't stop telling you about their life, in every little detail, and make much grandeur of each and every little event, as if it's the biggest since the birth of Christ.
Come on.
I do realise the book may be in a good format for some listeners, just not me. It feels like they just pressed record, started rambling, sent it to a foreign language virtual assistant for editing (meaning that this person couldn't editorially edit it) and pressed the "Publish to Audible" button;)

Authors who should not have narrated their book.
What disappointed you about The Power of No?
I could not listen past a couple of chapters because the authors' voices were so hard to listen to. The female author was very difficult to understand and the male was simply annoying. And, the overview that was given early in the book made me realize that this was not a good purchase. It wasn't what I expected at all. It sounded like a bunch of postmodern hocus-pocus and not practical advice on how to say no to the demands placed on us by others. I will be calling Audible to return this book.
Would you be willing to try another one of James Altucher and Claudia Azula Altucher ’s performances?
No way.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Irritation.

What disappointed you about The Power of No?
A lot of jabber, not much fruitful advice.
Truth be told - I only listended to half of it.
Has The Power of No turned you off from other books in this genre?
Sort off. I know that a lot of "self help" books are not very good.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of James Altucher and Claudia Azula Altucher ?

A Must Read for All Ages and Personalities
Would you listen to The Power of No again? Why?
The structure of the audiobook was that of a daily. Lots of valuable life lessons to soak in over and over again. It inspired me to stay the course on current positive trends in day-to-day life and gave encouragement to develop and build on them further.
What did you like best about this story?
The content was very well thought out and flowed naturally from start to finish. In addition to the overall richness of the lessons and stories provided, James and Claudia were perfect narrators.They added a real warmth and layer of honesty that may not have existed with someone else.
What does James Altucher and Claudia Azula Altucher bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Their fabulous personalities.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
So many great quotes...one that really struck a chord with me was "you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with." This book is full of wonderful quotes just like it.
Any additional comments?
I've recommended this book to family, friends and strangers alike. Congratulations to James and Claudia in their efforts to produce a beautiful and timeless story that will change lives for years to come.

surprisingly enjoyable and enriching
Each month I search for something to listen to while I drive. My drive is short, but last year I decided that I would spend that time enriching myself, finding mentors and just generally getting "zen" while I prepare to start my hectic day at the office. This book was a surprise.
I found myself listening to this book while I grocery shopped, and at other times when I would normally just be standing around doing nothing.
I loved the authors accents, and at times their banter with each other. I found the material in the book easy to follow and the processes and action steps all positive. I found myself bookmarking specific quotes or exercises because I wanted to make sure that I remembered them. I wanted to reference them in my blog. I wanted to practice them in my life!

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

The power of honesty
Would you consider the audio edition of The Power of No to be better than the print version?
Yes, because the honesty and sincerity of the authors is very effective in getting the message through
What did you like best about this story?
The simple concepts and practices and the personal examples. This is not a theoretical book, it comes from experience that was paid for with pain and suffering
Have you listened to any of James Altucher and Claudia Azula Altucher ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This one is better because Claudia has a cuter voice :)
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Pretty hard to put down, but I found it useful to take some notes and plan my own exercises
Any additional comments?
Thank you Claudia and James for sharing your experiences and what you learned from them. They have made a difference in my life.

I wish I read the reviews!
What was most disappointing about James Altucher and Claudia Azula Altucher ’s story?
I felt like this book started out by assuming that the reader/listener was extremely depressed, and probably a high risk for suicide. Neither of those things were the case for me, and it was a bit off-putting.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Yes!! Claudia had a heavy accent and James had a little bit of a lisp. While I think there might have been a lot of banter that a person who read the book would not have gotten to enjoy, the performance was extremely distracting. As I got towards the end I found myself skipping forward when Claudia was narrating.
Did The Power of No inspire you to do anything?
No. I found that Claudia gave a lot of "hippy-dippy" non-sense advice; (another reason why I skipped her a lot). I found some of Jame's advice to make sense, but definitely not all of it.

Poor mental emotional state
This book is for those currently in a poor mental emotional state who are close to suicide. I'm sure it has its place but should be better positioned. Had to stop listening after 20 mins or so.

Waste of my time...
I didn't know what to expect from the book as I picked it up by random. Maybe if I had done a little bit of research first into the authors and their writing I wouldn't have listened it on the first place. But that's on me...
So here's why this book is not for me:
- the book is dedicated for people who are at the very bottom of mental and emotional state, depressed and/or on the edge of committing suicide.
Not for aspiring entrepreneurs who are looking to understand how word "no" can improve their lives and businesses - or how they can excel in being more assertive etc.
- weak writing - 70% of the book has nothing to do with the main theme - "saying no" ... The plot is all over the place and appears more like a copy-paste of punch-lines from writings of Tolle, Covey and Greene ... And without the necessary context.
- lots of unnecessary fillers. Really. A lot....
- that said, nothing you couldn't find elsewhere on some random self-help blog summarised in one longer post...
I've finished over half of the book on 1.5 speed just to complete it (should have deleted it really but that's on me again ...)
Don't buy.

worth listening to more than once
What did you like most about The Power of No?
builds on 'choose yourself' I love the personal stories and the honesty when James and Claudia have made past mistakes
What did you like best about this story?
it had surprising results like helping my diet!!
What does James Altucher and Claudia Azula Altucher bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
to hear it in their own words makes it much more real
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
yes if you have the time, but better to listen in chunks to have time to digest the material
Any additional comments?
well I finished it and am now on the second time around as it's helping reinforce the things I wanted to do

An introduction to boundaries.
Very simplistic, and seemingly aimed at people who are very depressed.
I was hoping this would be a bit more of a fun listen, but thus far (1hr in) I'm getting a bit bored.

Average and disappointing. Nothing new. was expect
Average and disappointing. Nothing new. Was expecting to hear a proper and interesting guide with some lifehacks how to say "no" but instead had to listent to the authors not really motivating lifestories.

Simple, warm, honest and funny -
I have read this book twice since it came out.
The authors "co-host" in a very warm way and share their experiences without sounding like "guru's" - in the last year a lot of what has helped me in my own life came from this book.
Thanks guys!

Aye!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would absolutely recommend this book to friends.
For one thing, I've never slept better.
Have you listened to any of James Altucher and Claudia Azula Altucher ’s other performances? How does this one compare?
This was totally on par with the other book, Choose Yourself
Any additional comments?
Just read or listen to this book. Real people, real scenarios and real outcomes.

Story
The first thing Sophia Amoruso sold online wasn’t fashion - it was a stolen book. She spent her teens hitchhiking, committing petty theft, and dumpster diving. By twenty-two, she had resigned herself to employment, but was still broke, directionless, and working a mediocre day job she’d taken for the health insurance. It was there that Sophia decided to start selling vintage clothes on eBay. Eight years later, she is the founder, CEO, and creative director of Nasty Gal, a $100 million plus online fashion retailer with more than 350 employees.
